At around 07:00 AM GMT, WTI crude sank 1.1% to $59.85 a barrel, while Brent crude fell 0.9% to $63.35 a barrel. On Thursday, both benchmarks hit 13-month highs, amid hopes for the global economic recovery supported by a COVID-19 vaccination campaign globally.

Meantime, data from both the EIA and API showed a larger-than-estimated US crude stockpile fall last week.

Washington on Thursday said it was ready to talk to Tehran about both nations returning to a 2015 agreement that aimed to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
