中东原油基准价下调 沙特或将削减轻质原油价

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社7月2日新加坡报道，中东原油基准价格从7月份开始以较上月较低的溢价交易，交易员们等待生产商的官方销售价格。

官方销售价格预览:贸易消息人士周一称，沙特8月份预计将把阿拉伯旗舰轻质原油的价格从4年来的最高水平下调，此前亚洲炼油利润降至两年来的低点。

路透对6家亚洲炼油商和交易商的调查显示，8月，阿拉伯轻质原油的官方售价可能会下降20美分-40美分。

交易商表示，另外，阿布扎比国家石油公司（ADNOC）和卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum）预计也将下调其官方销售价格，此前上月现货以20美分的折扣或更高的折扣交易。

他们说，官方销售价格对穆尔班和达斯的溢价可能会下降20美分，而对上扎库姆的溢价可能会下降10美分以上。

一名交易员表示，预计卡塔尔海上原油的降价幅度将超过上扎库姆(Upper Zakum)。

据普氏能源(Platts)机构公布的数据，迪拜6月份原油均价为每桶73.592美元，在前月触及2014年11月以来的最高水平后有所回落。

Middle East Crude-Benchmarks lower; Saudi may cut light crude prices

The Middle East crude benchmarks started July trading at lower premiums than the previous month with traders awaiting official selling prices from producers.

OSP PREVIEW: Saudi Arabia is in August expected to cut the price for flagship Arab Light crude from the highest in four years, after refining margins in Asia dropped to a two-year low, trade sources said on Monday.

The official selling price (OSP) for Arab Light crude could fall by 20-40 cents a barrel in August, a Reuters survey of six Asian refiners and traders showed.

Separately, ADNOC and Qatar Petroleum are also expected to reduce their OSPs after spot cargoes traded at discounts of 20 cents or more last month, traders said.

The OSP premiums for Murban and Das could fall by 20 cents, while that for Upper Zakum could drop more than 10 cents, they said.

The price cut for Qatar Marine is expected to be deeper than that of Upper Zakum, one trader said.

Dubai crude, as quoted by agency Platts, averaged $73.592 a barrel for June, was down after hitting the highest since November 2014 in the previous month.
