LONDON, Jan 11: World oil prices fell on Friday on profit-taking, one day after striking three-month peaks on upbeat Chinese economic data, a weaker dollar and reports of a cut in Saudi Arabian crude production.
Brent North Sea crude for delivery in February slid 69 cents to $111.20 a barrel in London deals approaching mid-day in the British capital.
New York?s main contract, light sweet crude for February or West Texas Intermediate (WTI), dropped 30 cents to $93.52 a barrel.
?Crude oil prices gave back yesterday?s gains and slid lower on Friday, due to some profit-taking following a stronger US dollar and mixed global equity markets,? said analyst Myrto Sokou at the Sucden Financial Research brokerage.
Brent oil had soared on Thursday to $113.29, reaching the highest level since October 18. New York crude had meanwhile touched $94.70, a level last witnessed on September 19.?AFP
