Crude oil price fell on Friday with losses this month standing at over 8 percent, hurt by disappointing Chinese economic data and worries over a supply glut.
A firmer U.S. dollar also weighed on oil, making greenback-denominated contracts more expensive for holders of other currencies. Although trading was quiet after Thanksgiving Day in the United States.
Brent crude had dropped 4 cents to $45.42 per barrel by 0240 GMT, after settling down 71 cents at $45.46 in the previous session.
