Scanning some of the info crossing on oil, prices feeling some pressure on:

  • US / China strains increasing
  • surprise headline build in crude oil inventory reported earlier(late US afternoon) … eyes on the US government's EIA data due Thursday morning (US time)

On the other hand:

  • Russian President & Saudi Crown Prince discussed the market yesterday (ahead of the 9-10 June meeting of OPEC+), both called for close coordination, joint efforts
  • Canada's Alberta producers have cut output by around 1m b/d (circa 25% of the province's total output) - the province energy minister says further cuts not needed
