据路透社6月19日伦敦报道，油价周三下跌，数据显示美国原油库存下降幅度低于预期，这抵消了对美中贸易协议的支持。

布伦特原油期货下跌46美分，至每桶61.68美元。

美国西德克萨斯中质原油下跌3美分，至每桶53.87美元。周二，该指数创下1月初以来的最大单日涨幅。

工业集团美国石油学会(American Petroleum Institute)周二表示，经过数周的上涨，美国原油库存上周下跌81.2万桶，至4.82亿桶，跌幅小于分析师预期的110万桶。

PVM表示，“随着对美国石油储备膨胀的担忧再次凸显出来”，价格上涨已经失去动力。

Oil inches down as inventory data counters trade deal hopes

LONDON- Oil prices ticked down on Wednesday as data suggesting a smaller-than-expected fall in U.S. crude inventories countered support from hopes for a U.S.-China trade deal.

Brent crude futures were down 46 cents at $61.68 a barrel by 1042 GMT.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 3 cents to $53.87 a barrel. On Tuesday, it had recorded its biggest daily rise since early January.

After weeks of swelling, U.S. crude stocks fell by 812,000 barrels last week to 482 million, industry group the American Petroleum Institute said on Tuesday, a smaller fall than the 1.1 million barrel drop analysts had expected.

PVM said a price rally had run out of steam "as concerns over bulging U.S. oil stockpiles return to the fore."
