Global crude oil
Crude oil prices initially dropped in response to the US Fed's hawkish statement, but they found support at lower levels when Russia imposed a temporary export ban on distillate and diesel fuels to stabilize its domestic fuel market.
Oil prices rose on Friday as concerns that a Russian ban on fuel exports could tighten global supply outweighed fears that further US interest rate hikes could dent demand, but they were still headed for their first weekly loss in four weeks.
Brent futures climbed 50 cents, or 0.5 per cent, to $93.80 a barrel by 0350 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) futures gained 63 cents, or 0.7 per cent, to $90.26 a barrel.
Both benchmarks were on track for a small weekly drop after gaining more than 10% in the previous three weeks amid concerns about tight global supply as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies (OPEC+) maintain production cuts.
