Oil prices set to end week stable as investors mull path to Ukraine ceasefire

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Oil prices edged higher on Friday after a more than 1% loss in the previous session, as investors weighed the diminishing prospects of a quick end to the Ukraine war that could bring back more Russian energy supplies to Western markets. Brent crude futures were up 36 cents, or 0.52%, to $70.24 a barrel at 11:30 a.m. EDT (1530 GMT), after settling 1.5% lower in the previous session. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Moscow supported a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine in principle, but sought a number of clarifications and conditions that appeared to rule out a quick end to the fighting.

German bond yields jump, stocks surge as parties agree seismic spending plans

LONDON (Reuters) -German government bond yields, equities and the euro all rose on Friday on reports Germany's Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz had reached an agreement with the Greens to reform debt rules and massively increase state borrowing. Merz's conservatives and the Social Democrats, who are in negotiations to form a government after an election last month, had proposed a 500 billion euro fund for infrastructure and sweeping changes to borrowing rules to revive growth and ramp up military spending. To reach the two-thirds majority required for the necessary constitutional changes, though, they need the support of the Greens.

AI leading to faster, cheaper oil production, executives say

Artificial intelligence is speeding up oil and gas drilling and prompting companies to take a second look at places they had viewed as too difficult or expensive to develop, executives detailed during the CERAWeek conference in Houston. Oil producers are seeking ways to remain profitable in an environment of plummeting oil prices and worries that U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs could slow global energy demand. UK oil major BP is using AI to steer drill bits and predict potential problems in wells before they happen, said Ann Davies, BP's senior vice president of wells.
