#Oil 

Oil prices edged lower on Wednesday, pressured by worries that a US-China first-stage trade deal could not be finished in time for signing in Chile next month. A prolonged trade war between the two major economies has hurt global economic growth and oil demand. However, the latest API data showing an unexpected decline in US crude inventories put a floor on prices. US crude oil dropped as much as 0.5% to $55.18 per barrel while Brent crude fell 0.1% to $53.46 per barrel, around 08:20 AM NY time.

The FTSE 100 rose 49 points, or 0.7% to 7,212, amid a weaker pound due to rising expectations that the UK PM Boris Johnson would force general elections before Christmas if his Brexit timetable is not approved by parliament and the EU grants a 3-month extension as requested. Also, Just Eat shares jumped 25%, after the online takeaway platform rejected a third Prosus offer of GBP4.9 billion saying it underscores the significant long-term potential and strategic value of the company and reaffirmed its backing for a planned merger with Takeaway.com. Meanwhile, other major European stock markets closed little changed: the DAX 30 added 7 points, or 0.1% to 12,755; the CAC 40 gained 9 points, or 0.2% to 5,658; and the FTSE MIB finished near the flat line at 22,487; while the IBEX 35 went down 22 points, or 0.2% to 9,380.
