Oil held near a two-week low on signs of swelling American crude inventories, while investors monitored developments on the U.S.-China trade war.

Futures were steady in New York after slumping 3.2% on Tuesday, the most since the end of September. Industry data showed crude stockpiles rose by 5.95 million barrels last week, about fourtimes the increase analysts expect the government will report Wednesday. The U.S. Senate passed legislation supporting Hong Kong protesters, potentially complicating trade talks with Beijing.

Oil has dropped almost 17% from an April peak as the trade war saps demand amid a surge in global supply. Despite a looming oversupply in 2020, Saudi Arabia and Russia aren’t aiming to announce deeper production cuts when the OPEC cartel and its partners meet in Vienna early next month.

“The optimism among market participants about an imminent partial trade agreement being reached between the U.S. and China has proven to be premature,” said Carsten Fritsch, an analyst at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt. “OPEC+ is likely to find it hard to agree on more pronounced production cuts. And without bigger cuts, early 2020 risks seeing a sizeable oversupply.”

West Texas Intermediate for December delivery, which expires Wednesday, rose 11 cents to $55.32 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as of 10:45 a.m. in London. Futures lost $1.84 to settle at $55.21 on Tuesday, the lowest since Oct. 31. The more-active January contract rose 15 cents to $55.50.

Brent for January settlement rose 19 cents to $61.10 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe Exchange. The contract fell $1.53 to close at $60.91 on Tuesday. The global benchmark crude traded at a $5.61 premium to WTI for the same month.
