NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil prices retreated on Wednesday after a report showed a surprise rise in crude stocks in the United States, but optimism about the signing of the first phase of a US-China trade deal prevented a further fall in prices.
Brent crude futures were down 9 cents, or 0.14 percent, at $ 64.18 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures lost 12 cents, or 0.21 percent, at $ 58.29 a barrel.
