Investing.com – Oil was lower Tuesday on profit-taking after gains Monday on hopes of an accord to curb supply.
U.S. crude was down 34 cents, or 0.78%, at $43.52 at 07:15 ET, while Brent crude shed 0.76% to $45.60.
Even in the event of an agreement to freeze output, the market will remain oversupplied.
Venezuelan Oil Minister Eulogio Del Pino Monday estimated the global market is about 10% oversupplied.
Major producers are due to hold informal talks on the supply situation later this month in Algeria.
American Petroleum Institute (API) stockpile figures are due out later in the session.
These will be followed Wednesday by official Energy Information Administration (EIA) data.
The EIA is expected to report an increase of 2.25 million barrels in U.S. crude stocks in the latest week.
The dollar index was slightly higher. A stronger dollar weakens demand for oil.
