Investing.com– Oil prices steadied at three-week highs in Asian trade on Friday as the prospect of tighter supplies, stemming from deeper Saudi and Russian production cuts, largely offset concerns over slowing economic growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Thursday that Moscow had reached a new deal with its peers in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies (OPEC+) to further cut supplies, and will outline more reductions in production next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reductions will likely add to ongoing supply cuts by Russia and Saudi Arabia, presenting a tighter supply outlook for the rest of the year, which is expected to boost prices. This notion helped oil prices power past a string of weak economic signals from the U.S. and China this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

steadied at $86.81 a barrel, while were flat at $83.62 a barrel by 20:27 ET (00:27 GMT). Both contracts were up between 2.9% to 5% this week, with WTI in particular also benefiting from a tighter outlook for U.S. supplies. Data this week showed a substantially bigger-than-expected draw in U.S. before the Labor Day Weekend, which marks peak U.S. summer demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Relative weakness in the , which had tumbled to a three-week low earlier in the week, also helped oil prices push higher, although the greenback found its footing on Thursday following a stronger-than-expected inflation reading.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Markets are now awaiting more cues on the U.S. economy and interest rates, while economic signals from China are also on tap.<\/p>\n

Dollar recovery pressures oil ahead of nonfarm payrolls data<\/h2>\n

The greenback steadied on Friday after rebounding from near three-week lows, as data- the Federal Reserve\u2019s preferred inflation gauge- read hotter than expected for July.<\/p>\n

The data was accompanied by softer-than-expected weekly , indicating some resilience in the labor market ahead of key data due later in the day.<\/p>\n

While other economic readings, such as (PMI) and , showed some cooling in the world\u2019s largest economy, sticky inflation and strength in the labor market still gives the Fed more impetus to keep raising interest rates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Markets fear that higher rates will further stymie economic growth this year, weighing on crude demand. Hotter-than-expected readings also furthered this notion.<\/p>\n

Middling Chinese PMI data also weighed on sentiment, as official data showed that in the world\u2019s largest oil importer shrank for a fifth straight month in August, albeit at a slower-than-expected rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
