    Oil prices climb on a weaker U.S. dollar

    Oil prices rose on a weaker U.S. dollar.

    Gains were limited by concerns over the global oil oversupply. A rise in U.S. crude inventories, Iran's expected comeback to the market and further interest rate hikes by the Fed weigh on oil prices.

    News that Russia does not want to cooperate with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) also weighed on oil prices today.

    OPEC said in its World Oil Outlook (WOO) on Friday that it expects oil prices to remain below $100 a barrel in the long-term period.

    WTI crude oil for February delivery rose to $35.44 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

    U.S. preliminary services purchasing managers' index drops to 53.7 in December

    Markit Economics released its preliminary services purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the U.S. on Friday. The U.S. preliminary services purchasing managers' index (PMI) dropped to 53.7 in December from 56.1 in November. It was the lowest level since December 2014.

    Analysts had expected the index to fell to 56.0.

    A reading above 50 indicates expansion in economic activity.

    The drop was driven by a sharp slowdown in new business growth.

    "A lack of inflationary pressures, slowing growth and a drop in business confidence to a five-year low are all disappointing news for an economy which has seen the first US interest rate hike for almost a decade," Markit Chief Economist Chris Williamson said.

    He added that the data was consistent with an annual 1.8% growth in the fourth quarter.

    Oil prices mixed on Friday

    West Texas Intermediate futures for January delivery is currently at $36.17 (-0.28%), while Brent crude is at $37.22 (+0.43%). Both crudes are on track to post a third week of declines (-2.2% and -2.1% respectively).

    Fundamentals remain bearish. The Energy Information Administration reported on Wednesday that U.S. crude oil inventories unexpectedly rose last week. The Federal Reserve raised its interest rates this week. Higher Fed rates normally support the greenback making the dollar denominated crude more expensive for customers using other currencies. Investors are also waiting for U.S. lawmakers to vote on oil exports ban elimination.

    Analysts say that oil prices have not reached the bottom yet.

    Gold steadied close to a multi-year low

    Gold climbed to $1,054.20 (+0.44%) after a sharp decline in the previous session, but remained not far from a six-year low. On Wednesday the central bank of the U.S. raised its interest rates to a range of 0.25%-0.50% from 0%-0.25%. Higher rates increase the opportunity cost of holding the non-interest paying precious metal and reduce demand for it. Bullion is on track to post a nearly 2% decline this week.

    Technical analysts say that the precious metal may test the key $1,000 level soon.

    Assets in SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest gold-backed exchange-traded fund in the world, fell 0.70% to 630.17 tonnes on Thursday, the lowest since September 2008.

    The U.S. Department of Labor reported that the number of initial jobless claims declined by 11,000 to 271,000 in the week ending December 12. Economists had expected 275,000 claims. These data point to stability in the labor market.

    Meanwhile Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey showed that the index of business activity fell to -5.9 points in December from 1.9 in November. Economists had expected the index to decline to 1.5.
