Oil prices were little changed on Friday but were set for a weekly rise amid optimism that economic stimulus efforts will prompt a recovery in China, but a stronger dollar capped gains.
Brent crude futures fell 2 cents to $73.24 a barrel by 0535 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $69.61, down 1 cent, from Thursday's close. However, on a weekly basis, Brent was up 0.4% and WTI rose 0.2%.
