LONDON—Oil prices eased on Thursday following weak U.S. payrolls data and some profit-taking, but remained underpinned by tight supply as OPEC+ producers stuck to planned moderate output increases.
Brent crude fell 61 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $88.86 a barrel by 0915 GMT, after rising 31 cents on Wednesday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was down 69 cents, or 0.8 percent, at $87.57 a barrel, having gained 6 cents the previous day.
