SINGAPORE, Nov 19 (Reuters): Oil prices steadied around US$81 a barrel on Friday as investors continued to weigh the impact of potential releases of crude reserves by major economies in a coordinated effort to cool energy prices and tame surging inflation.
Brent crude was up 5 cents, or 0.06%, at US$81.29 a barrel by 0932 GMT. It fell to a six-week low on Thursday after reports of the potential releases before rebounding to end 1.2% higher on the day.
