Oil futures prices\u00a0<\/b>are inching lower. Prices rose yesterday on signs of easing of global oversupply. The International Energy Agency said Wednesday global oil supply dropped by 720 thousand barrels a day last month, largely due to civil unrest in Libya and disruptions to US production caused by Hurricane Harvey. Brent for November settlement rose 0.6% to end the session at $55.47 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures exchange on Thursday.<\/p>\n
