London ~Oil prices edged lower after a stellar rally on Tuesday, as traders awaited more details from OPEC+ members on the scale of their signaled supply cuts.
London-traded Brent oil futures were largely unchanged at $102.68 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures fell 0.2% to $96.77 a barrel by 20:16 ET (00:16 GMT).

The energy sector is off to start lower, pressured by weakness in the underlying commodities. U.S stocks are expected to rebound following two-consecutive sessions of losses, ahead of the consumer confidence and job openings data later today.
WTI and Brent crude oil futures dropped following yesterday’s rally on fears that a slower global economic outlook could soften energy demand and the potential arrival of more Iranian barrels to the market which outweighed political unrest in the Middle East. Global central banks are prepared to continue fighting record inflation that has not been seen in half century even as investors worry more rates hikes will lead to a recession. A series of attacks on a gas field in Iraq has sent U.S. contractors working on its expansion packing, damaging the hopes of Kurdish Region’s looking to boost their revenues. Despite ongoing fighting in Baghdad, state-owned marketer SOMO said the country’s oil exports are unaffected by the unrest, adding to the further downward pressure we are seeing this morning. Nigeria’s Q2 oil production dropped to 1.43M bpd, its lowest quarterly level since 2016, far below the country’s 1.799M bpd quota under the OPEC+ deal, amid rampant theft and vandalism.
