Oil extended a gain as the US cut its forecast for an oversupply, following similar moves by other market watchers including the International Energy Agency.
West Texas Intermediate rose toward $67 a barrel after a modest gain on Tuesday, with Brent crude closing below $70.
The Energy Information Administration slashed its prediction for a global surplus for this year and halved its outlook for a glut in 2026, citing the prospect of diminished flows from Iran and Venezuela.
Elsewhere, the industry-funded American Petroleum Institute reported that US nationwide commercial inventories rose 4.2 million barrels last week, although a big draw was seen at the oil storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma.
That would be the first reduction at the delivery point for WTI in five weeks if confirmed by official data on Wednesday.
Oil recouped early losses on Tuesday even as fresh trade salvos from US President Donald Trump threatened to prolong a plunge in risk assets.
Futures have plunged from a high in mid-January on the chaotic rollout of tariffs, OPEC+ plans to add supply and weakening demand in China.
