贸易战担忧重燃拖累油价大跌

中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯4月3日消息，油价周一跌至两周低点，随股市下跌，投资者对美国与中国贸易战的担忧加剧。

纽约商业交易所五月交割的轻质低硫原油期货下跌1.93美元，至每桶63.01美元，跌幅3%，为3月19日以来最低收盘水平。布伦特原油期货下跌1.70美元，至每桶67.64美元，跌幅2.5%。

中国宣布本周开始对美国商品加征进口关税，回应特朗普政府今年早些时候宣布对中国的钢铝征收关税的决定。交易员和分析师担心，全面爆发贸易战将损害全球经济增长，打压原油需求，强劲的原油需求最近帮助推动油价升至多年高点。

Oil Falls on Renewed Trade War Worries

Oil prices slid to a two-week low on Monday, following stocks lower as heightened concerns over a trade war between the U.S. and China hit markets.

Light, sweet crude for May delivery fell $1.93, or 3%, to $63.01 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, its lowest close since March 19. Brent, the global benchmark, declined $1.70, or 2.5%, to $67.64 a barrel.

China imposed import tariffs on U.S. goods this week, in a response to tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum announced by the Trump administration earlier this year. Traders and analysts fear that a full-blown trade war would crimp global growth and dampen the strong fuel demand that has helped push oil prices to multiyear highs.
