Tokyo — Oil prices were mixed on Thursday, with Brent edging higher towards the psychological $70 level after easing in the previous session on data showing a surprise build in US inventories.

The Caixin-Markit services purchasing managers index rose to 54.4, the highest since January 2018 and up from February’s 51.1, a four-month low, a private business survey of China’s service sector showed on Wednesday.
