Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst at Forex.com, said in a Reuters report, "Although destocking in Cushing has continued, with stocks there falling below 30 million barrels for the first time since late 2014, the overall increase in US oil stocks has overshadowed the good news."
 
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was up 5 cents, or 0.1%, at $61.04 by 0233 GMT after touching a two-week low of $60.18 a day earlier.
 
Global benchmark Brent was up 9 cents, or 0.1 percent, at $63.92, having settled down 1.4% on Thursday, also a two-week low, and is set for a weekly fall of about 5 percent.
 
US crude is on track for a 4% drop this week, its first weekly decline in three, having given up much of the gains in recent weeks when sentiment was boosted by a fall in stocks at the Cushing delivery point for WTI.
