Crude oil futures made a positive close on Friday, as OPEC producers voted to extend supply cuts through 2018. However, prices came off session highs as financial markets reeled from an ABC News report that added to concerns about President Donald Trump's exposure to a probe into Russian meddling in last year's campaign.

Meanwhile oil services firm Baker Hughes reported that the total active US rig count, which includes oil and natural-gas rigs, added 6 to 929.
