Oil prices hold near $68 as OPEC+ April supply talk meets softer U.S. inflation
Brent crude rose 11 cents to $67.63 a barrel and WTI held at $62.84 after Thursday’s near 3% drop, as a softer U.S. inflation reading steadied prices. The IEA cut its demand outlook and reported a large U.S. inventory build. OPEC+ sources said the group may resume output hikes from April, with talks set for March 1.
