Shafaq News/ The price of Basra's heavy crude climbed on a weekly basis with 0.85% loss.

Basra's heavy crude to Asian customers closed at $77.26, posting a weekly gain of $0.65.

Basra's light crude to Asian customers closed at $87.63, posting a weekly gain of $0.93 (0.99%).

Oil prices settled lower on Friday, making their weekly finish flat to lower, as indications of strong Russian oil supply offset better-than-expected U.S. economic growth data, strong middle distillate refining margins, and hopes of a rapid recovery in Chinese demand.
