SINGAPORE: Oil prices extended losses in Asian trade Friday as data showing a slowdown in China´s giant economy sparked concerns about weak demand.

New York´s main contract West Texas Intermediate for May delivery eased 16 cents to $103.24 a barrel in mid-morning trade while Brent North Sea crude tumbled 12 cents to $107.34 for its May contract.
