Oil Prices Struggle On Doubts OPEC Can Rein In Oversupply

Oil prices wallowed near their lowest levels in seven months early on Thursday, hurt by high global inventories and doubts over OPEC's ability to implement production cuts. Brent crude futures were at $47.01 per barrel at 0222 GMT, virtually steady after slumping nearly 4 percent in the previous session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $44.70 per barrel, also little changed from their last close.

Both benchmarks are hovering near levels last reached in late November last year when production cuts led by the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) were first announced in an effort to prop up prices.
