Oil settles down after Trump repeats pledge to boost US supply

Oil prices settled lower on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump repeated a pledge to raise U.S. oil production, unnerving traders a day after the country reported a much bigger-than-anticipated jump in crude stockpiles.

Brent crude futures fell 32 cents, or 0.4%, to settle at $74.29 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 42 cents, or 0.6%, to $70.61.

On Thursday, Trump repeated a pledge to boost U.S. production, already the highest in the world, in a bid to lower oil prices and ease consumer inflation.

Oil prices gave up early gains after Trump's comments. Still, analysts have questioned whether U.S. oil producers will be willing to pump more barrels in the current market.
