Oil prices have broken through $90 a barrel for the first time, lifted by the low dollar and ongoing concerns over tensions in eastern Turkey.
US light crude rose to $90.02 in late Thursday trading in New York, before pulling back to $89.54 in early Friday trade in the Far East.
Meanwhile, London's Brent had fallen back 12 cents to $84.48 from its overnight close of $84.60.
