Oil check
Oil prices fell on Friday, with Brent slipping away from the $70 mark after briefly rising above that level in the previous session, as traders fretted about progress in US-China talks to end a trade war.

On Thursday, they closed 9 cents higher after touching a session high of $70.03, the highest since November 12. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was down 2 cents at $62.08. The contract fell 36 cents in the previous session, having hit $62.99 on Wednesday, its highest since November.

Asian Markets check
Asian share markets consolidated weekly gains on Friday as Sino-US talks dragged on with no concrete conclusions, while caution ahead of US payrolls and a holiday in China and Hong Kong dampened volatility.
MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was little changed and near its highest since the end of August. It was still up 1.9 per cent for the week and 13 percent for the year so far. Japan’s Nikkei added 0.1 per cent, to be 2.6 per cent firmer for the week. E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 edged up 0.04 per cent.

The benchmark S&P 500 stock index edged higher, nearing a six-month high on Thursday, with losses in technology stocks countered by gains in Boeing Co and Facebook Inc as investors waited for more clarity on the US-China trade talks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 166.5 points, or 0.64 per cent, to 26,384.63, the S&P 500 gained 5.99 points, or 0.21 per cent, to 2,879.39 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 3.77 points, or 0.05 per cent, to 7,891.78.
