LONDON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Brent oil fell to a four-week low on Thursday after Japan's intervention to stem the rise in the yen boosted the dollar and anxiety about the extent of Europe's debt crisis curbed any interest in riskier assets.
Brent LCOc1 recovered to trade 7 cents firmer at $113.30 by 0823 GMT, off a session low of $112.70, the weakest intraday price since July 6. U.S. crude CLc1 was 11 cents weaker at $91.82.
In coming days financial and commodities markets are likely to focus on the wider economic picture as European and U.S. central bankers deliberate and a series of data provides clues on the pace of any recovery.
"It's all about macroeconomics for the next five days basically," said Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix.
He cited a European Central Bank rates decision, followed by U.S. employment data on Thursday and Friday and a meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve next Tuesday.
