Oil Eases Losses After U.S., China Sign Phase One of Trade Deal - Bloomberg:
Oil erased some of the losses that followed the U.S. inventory report after the U.S. and China inked the first phase of a broader trade pact on Wednesday.
Futures in New York settled 0.7% lower after falling as much as 1.5% earlier. China agreed to buy $52.4 billion of additional U.S. energy products as part of a landmark trade deal signed by the world’s two top economic superpowers. But a bearish US government report that showed swelling fuel inventories held back further gains from the newly minted deal.
Oil rebounded from a low because of the signing of the initial U.S.-China trade deal, said Bart Melek, head of global commodity strategy at TD Bank in Toronto. “This agreement could pave the way for global demand to improve after nearly two years into the dispute.”
