Oil prices were little changed on Friday as a solid job market bolstered the case for the U.S. Federal Reserve keeping interest rates on hold, with investors also awaiting clarity on President Donald Trump's plans for tariffs on various countries.

Crude oil prices hovered near previous levels on Wednesday as traders evaluated the prospect of increased output from key producers, signs of rising US stockpiles, and broader economic signals. The slight movements in prices came amid a backdrop of geopolitical stability and ongoing speculation around macroeconomic policy changes in the US.
