中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社12月20日消息，在美联储提高利率之后，伦敦油价跌至每桶55美元以下，在投资者面临供应过剩之际，引发了对经济增长的担忧。 布伦特原油期货下跌4.5％至2017年9月以来的最低点。由于美联储主席杰罗姆鲍威尔未能平息对美联储政策将遏制全球经济增长的担忧，交易商正在回避风险资产。与此同时，美国主要储存中心的库存增加至1月份以来的最高水平，加剧了市场对欧佩克减产将受页岩供应的影响的猜测。 尽管欧佩克与其盟国达成协议，从明年1月份开始每天减产120万桶原油，但原油价格仍将出现4年来最严重的季度跌幅。虽然沙特阿拉伯能源部长Khalid Al-Falih表示他确信该交易将在4月份延长，但在该协议生效之前就做出的保证只凸显了市场普遍存在的焦虑情绪。与此同时，全球投资者担心美联储没有结束加息。 韩国三星期货公司大宗商品分析师Kim Kwangrae通过电话表示：“市场一直希望得到一个更明确的信号，表明美联储已经结束加息，但未能让投资者满意。” “市场仍在与供应过剩和增长放缓带来的不确定性作斗争。” 伦敦ICE期货欧洲交易所2月交付的布伦特原油价格下跌2.60美元至每桶54.64美元。该合约周三上涨1.7％，收于57.24美元。全球基准原油交易价格较西德克萨斯中质油溢价8.97美元。 纽约商品交易所二月份交付的WTI价格下跌1.38美元至每桶45.82美元。1月合约周三到期，上涨96美分至47.20美元。周四交易总量较100天平均值高约30％。 美国能源情报署周三公布的数据显示，上周库欣原油库存连续第四周上升109万桶。虽然上周全国石油库存减少了49.7万桶，但下降幅度小于彭博社对交易商进行调查时预计的250万桶降幅。 曹海斌 摘译自 彭博社 原文如下： Brent Crude Below $55 as Fed Hike Heightens Demand-Growth Fears Oil dipped below $55 a barrel in London after the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates, stoking fears over economic growth at a time when investors face a supply glut. Brent crude futures slid as much as 4.5 percent to the lowest since September 2017. Traders are avoiding risk assets as Chairman Jerome Powell failed to quell concerns the Fed’s policy will choke global growth. Meanwhile, inventories at a key U.S. storage hub rose to the highest level since January, adding to speculation output cuts by OPEC will be undermined by shale supplies. Crude’s set for its worst quarterly drop in four years despite an accord between OPEC and its allies to cut 1.2 million barrels a day of production from January. While Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih said he’s certain the deal will be extended in April, the assurance coming even before the pact has gone into effect only highlighted the prevailing anxiety in the market. Meanwhile, global investors are concerned the Fed isn’t finished raising rates. “The market had wanted to receive a more definitive signal that the Fed is done boosting rates and it fell short of satisfying investors,” Kim Kwangrae, a commodities analyst at Samsung Futures Inc. in Seoul, said by phone. “The market continues to battle with uncertainties over a supply glut and slowing growth.” Brent for February settlement dropped as much as $2.60 to $54.64 a barrel on London’s ICE Futures Europe exchange. The contract rose 1.7 percent to close at $57.24 on Wednesday. The global benchmark crude traded at a $8.97 premium to West Texas Intermediate. WTI for February delivery lost as much as $1.38 to $45.82 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The January contract expired on Wednesday after gaining 96 cents to $47.20. Total volume traded Thursday was about 30 percent above the 100-day average. Stockpiles at Cushing rose for a fourth consecutive week by 1.09 million barrels last week, Energy Information Administration data showed Wednesday. While nationwide inventories shrank by 497,000 barrels last week, the drop was smaller than a 2.5 million-barrel decrease expected in a Bloomberg survey of traders.
