Oil Stable After China Stimulus

Share Print 0

Oil stabilized on Wednesday after China’s central bank moved to support the country’s economy, but prices stayed near 6-1/2-year lows as a heavy supply glut kept the market outlook bearish.

“Oil is catching its breath a bit and seeing if markets have been oversold or not,” Capital Economics commodities economist Thomas Pugh said.

Brent LCOc1 was up 20 cents at $43.41 a barrel by 1115 GMT, and U.S. crude CLc1 was up 15 cents at $39.46 a barrel.

Oil has lost a third of its value since June on high U.S. production, record crude pumping in the Middle East and concern about falling demand in Asian economies.
