(MENAFN) Oil costs saw a steady fall on Friday because of request worries, with the US Federal Reserve (Fed) indicating additional rate rises following surging its main interest rate by 25 basis points whereas financers anticipate the issue of China's industry data.

International benchmark Brent crude sold at USD82.12 a barrel as of 09.37 AM regional time (0637 GMT), falling 0.06 percent from the end cost of USD82.17 per barrel in the prior exchange day.

American benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) exchanged at USD75.75 a barrel at the same time, a 0.17 percent decrease following the prior session ended standing at USD75.88 per barrel.

"Crude oil was relatively unchanged as the market awaits evidence of stronger demand from China," Australia and New Zealand Banking Group commodity expert Daniel Hynes stated in an e-mailed message.

Hynes continued to say "Despite this rapid increase in mobility, Chinese traders have been relatively absent from markets."
