India, Nov. 13 -- Oil prices held steady on Friday after rising in the previous session as traders weighed continued disruptions to Middle Eastern oil supplies.

Brent crude futures rose 0.3 percent to $96.07 a barrel as attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and Hormuz shipping disruptions offset signs of rising crude output.

WTI crude futures edged down 0.1 percent to $88.62 a barrel after the Energy Information Administration's latest report on crude oil inventories revealed a significant increase in stockpiles.
