Singapore - Oil prices fell in Asia on Friday, cutting short a rally as investors weighed the potential for disruptions in Middle East supplies caused by the Yemen crisis and a global crude glut, analysts said.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for May delivery fell 83 cents to $50.60 and Brent crude for May eased 75c to $58.44 in late-morning trade.
Prices rose sharply over the past two days after a Saudi Arabia-led coalition bombed Huthi Shiite rebels in support of Yemen's embattled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
