CALGARY (Reuters): Oil futures slipped slightly in thin holiday trading on Friday evening, as the market looked ahead to this weekend's OPEC+ meeting and the likelihood that member countries will decide to raise output.
Brent crude futures settled down 50 cents, or 0.7%, at $68.30 a barrel while US West Texas Intermediate crude was down 50 cents, or 0.75%, at $66.50 just before 1300 EDT (1700 GMT). Trade was sparse due to the U.S. Independence Day holiday.
