MarketWatch - 5 minutes agoSAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Oil futures closed lower on Friday to tally a loss of about 2% for the week after manufacturing data from China a day earlier fed concerns over energy demand. July crude fell 10 cents, or 0.1%, to settle at $94.15 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Natural-gas futures also edged lower for the session, with the June contract losing 2 cents, or 0.6%, to end at $4.24 per million British thermal units. But prices were up more than 4% for the week, in part because warmer weather forecasts boosted the prospects for cooling demand.
