WCS for July delivery in Hardisty, Alberta, settled at $11.15 a barrel below the U.S. benchmark WTI, according to brokerage CalRock, compared to $11.65 a barrel on Thursday.
* The WCS differential has been on a narrowing trend this month, tightening by approximately $4 since mid-May.
* Wet weather and a power outage that affected oil sands producer Cenovus Energy last week have contributed to crude export supply tightness out of Western Canada.
* Global oil prices fell more than 3% on Friday to their lowest levels in nearly two months as U.S. and Iranian officials said they were close to an agreement to halt their war.
