Brent steady at $106 as economy worry lingers
(Reuters) - Brent crude futures held steady at $106 a barrel on Friday, but was on track for a fourth weekly loss and the longest losing streak since early 2010, as investors were jittery over signs of slowing global economic growth blunting oil demand.
Asian shares and the euro took a hit on Friday on a grim global economic outlook after weak data from the United States, China and Europe, and on the uncertain fate of Greece.
But losses were limited by fears of a supply disruption from the Middle East, as talks on Iran's nuclear program reached a stalemate, with Western countries insisting Iran must cease uranium enrichment before sanctions against it can be eased.

Jobless claims little changed last week
(Reuters) - New claims for unemployment benefits fell slightly last week, government data on Thursday showed, suggesting the labor market continues to expand at a moderate pace.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits slipped 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 370,000, the Labor Department said. The prior week's figure was revised up to 372,000 from the previously reported 370,000.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims unchanged last week. The four-week moving average for new claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends, dropped 5,500 to 370,000.
Claims have barely budged in the past four weeks indicating a marginal improvement in the pace of job creation after April's disappointing 115,000 gain in nonfarm payrolls.

Oil steadies above $105 as Iran talks stall
(Reuters) - Brent crude oil steadied above $105 per barrel on Thursday as reports of a hiccup in talks with Iran over its nuclear program balanced weak economic data from China and Europe.
Iran accused world powers on Thursday of creating "a difficult atmosphere" that hindered negotiations on its atomic energy program, signaling a snag in diplomacy to defuse fears of a covert Iranian bid to develop nuclear bombs.
Brent crude oil fell 53 cents to a low of $105.03 per barrel, a five-month low, but then rebounded to trade around $105.71, up 15 cents, by 0945 GMT. It had earlier touched a high of $106.68 before the Chinese and European data sparked a bout of selling.
U.S. crude advanced 55 cents to $90.45, after earlier reaching a high of $90.81 per barrel. It settled at $89.90 a barrel on ...
