Oil prices slip on global growth concerns, swelling U.S. supply by www.expertcommodity.com

Oil prices fell on Wednesday, pulled down by swelling U.S. inventories and a plunge in global stock markets as China's government warned of increasing economic headwinds.

International Brent crude oil futures (LCOc1) were at $60.87 per barrel, down $1.21, or 2 percent, from their last close.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures (CLc1) were at $52.33 per barrel, down 92 cents, or 1.7 percent.

Reuters technical commodity analyst Wang Tao said WTI could soon test support at $51.75 per barrel, while Brent was threatening to drop below $60 per barrel again soon.

Oil prices were pressured by a weekly report from the American Petroleum Institute (API) that said U.S. crude inventories rose by 5.4 million barrels in the week to Nov. 30, to 448 million barrels, in a sign that U.S. oil markets are in a growing glut.

Official U.S. government oil production and inventory data is due later on Wednesday.

More broadly, the slide in U.S. oil followed a tumble in global stock markets on Tuesday, with investors worried about the threat of a widespread economic slowdown.

Key to the global economic outlook will be whether the United States and China can resolve their trade disputes. Washington and Beijing announced a 90-day truce last weekend, during which neither side will further increase punitive import tariffs.

In a sign of easing tensions between the two world's biggest economies, Chinese oil trader Unipec plans to resume U.S. crude shipments to China by March after the Xi-Trump deal at the G20 meeting reduced the risk of tariffs being imposed on these imports, people with knowledge of the matter said.
