TEHRAN, Jul 4 -Oil prices inched lower on Thursday after solid gains the day before, pressured by data showing a smaller-than-expected decline in U.S. crude stockpiles.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Front-month Brent crude futures LCOc1, the international benchmark for oil prices, were down 0.4% at $63.60 per barrel by 0112 GMT. Brent closed up 2.3% on Wednesday
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 were down 0.3% at $57.18 per barrel. WTI closed up 1.9% on Wednesday.
U.S. crude inventories USOILC=ECI dropped by 1.1 million barrels last week, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Wednesday. That compared with analyst expectations for a decrease of 3 million barrels.
“The U.S. oil market remains oversupplied,” said Edward Moya, senior analyst, OANDA.
But crude prices were underpinned after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producers such as Russia, a group known as OPEC+, agreed on Tuesday to extend oil supply cuts until March 2020.
