Oil prices have not had a good past few (trading) days, and down about 6% since the beginning of this year

ANZ are still cautious:

  • "Traders continued to fret about rising U.S. supply and compliance by OPEC to agreed-upon production cuts"
  • "With inventories at the highest seasonal level in three decades, another increase in this week's report could see prices come under further pressure"

(The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) release their inventory report tomorrow morning US time. The private inventory report late Tuesday in the US saw a bigger than expected build)

Earlier today:

  • Oil - private inventory data shows a headline build
  • US energy agency forecasts a boost in US oil output & higher demand
