Oil prices are lower Wednesday as the markets remain jittery leading up to today’s decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve on whether to raise interest rates. Global benchmark Brent has rolled over to its February contract now and is down 1.8% at $38.02 a barrel. In the U.S., WTI is also down 1.6% at $36.74 for January loading. The U.S. Energy Information Administration also releases its stock and production data this afternoon and a drop of about 1.4 million barrels a day is expected. However, this may not be enough to improve sentiment with traders and money managers.
