Oil prices weighed down as U.S. inventory gains revive glut worries.
Oil markets were steady to lower on Wednesday after a report of rising U.S. fuel and crude inventories underscored concerns that a three-year supply glut is far from over. The U.S. inventory gains show global supplies are still ample despite the effort by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to cut output by 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) between January 2017 and March 2018. "Everybody was positioned for a market rebalancing and a stocks draw to happen in the second quarter. And if you look at the macro analysis, that should start happening," Taylor said in an interview with Reuters. "But so far it hasn't happened and everyone has made the same mistake. Nobody has distinguished themselves," he said. Some analysts said that crude prices had likely bottomed out and would rise. "We believe that the selloff in crude is overdone ... Brent is primed for a recovery," BMI Research said.
