Oil prices poised for second straight week of losses as China recovery disappoints


SINGAPORE: Oil prices looked set to post their second straight weekly loss, as prices continued to fall on Friday over concerns about demand from China and due to scepticism over the United States and Iran striking a nuclear deal.

Brent crude futures dropped 26 cents or 0.3% to $75.70 a barrel by 0736 GMT, while the U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures eased 22 cents, also a drop of 0.3%, to $70.94.
