West Texas Intermediate crude for February delivery rose 5 cents to $58.28 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as of 9:07 a.m. local time. The contract closed Monday at the lowest since Dec. 3. Concerns that the U.S. and Iran were headed for conflict over the killing of an Iranian general, which sent prices soaring earlier this month, have largely dissipated.

Front-month WTI futures were at a discount, or contango, to second-month for a second day, a relationship normally suggesting oversupply.

Brent futures for March settlement dropped 3 cents to $64.46 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange after climbing 0.5% on Tuesday. The global benchmark crude traded at a $6.16 premium to WTI for the same month.

“The preliminary API data is likely weighing on sentiment this morning,” said Harry Tchilinguirian, head of commodity markets strategy at BNP Paribas SA.

The U.S. government’s Energy Information Administration will release official data on stockpiles later on Wednesday. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg forecast it would show inventories rose by 1.1 million barrels in the week ended Jan. 10, in line with the API’s numbers. That would be the second straight increase following three weeks of declines.

President Donald Trump’s impending initial trade agreement with China has also impacted oil prices. The pact, in theory, defuses tensions that weighed on markets throughout last year, but isn’t wholly assuaging concerns.

Existing U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods are likely to stay in place until after the presidential election, people familiar said, while Reuters reported America is drafting more rules to block sales to Huawei Technologies Co.

“While the stay in existing tariffs may be disappointing, further details from the agreement tonight might change the mood in the market,” said Howie Lee, an economist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. in Singapore. “Additional positive details, especially pertaining to phase-two negotiations, might yet give crude prices a lift.”
