欧佩克+有望进一步减产 空头回补油价上扬

中国石化新闻网讯 据2月26日路透社东京报道，随着投资者关注潜在的供应削减可能，在连续三个交易日油价下跌后补仓，原油价格周三小幅上涨。

截至格林威治时间05：13，布伦特原油上涨33美分，至每桶55.28美元，涨幅为0.6%;美国西德克萨斯中质原油上涨41美分，至每桶50.31美元，涨幅为0.8%。不过，自上周四收盘以来，油价已经下跌了近7%。

Sunward Trading分析师Hideshi Matsunaga表示:“在WTI跌破关键支撑位50美元/桶后，投资者出脱了空头头寸，本月早些时候他们曾数次这样做。而利比亚的减产以及欧佩克+进一步减产的预期也为油价提供了支持。”

OANDA资深市场分析师Jeffrey Halley在一份报告中称："布伦特原油周收盘价低于每桶55美元，这将给欧佩克+敲响警钟。"

他补充称:“如果布伦特原油价格继续下跌，出台一定形式的价格稳定措施是不可避免的。”

Oil rises on short-covering, hopes for deeper output cut by OPEC+

Crude prices inched higher on Wednesday as investors covered short positions after three sessions of losses and eyed potential supply cuts.

Brent crude rose 33 cents, or 0.6%, to $55.28 a barrel by 0513 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude gained 41 cents, or 0.8%, to $50.31 a barrel. Still, prices are down nearly 7% since last Thursday’s close.

“Investors unwound short positions after WTI dipped below a key support level of $50, as they have done a few times earlier this month,” said Hideshi Matsunaga, analyst at Sunward Trading.

“The reduction in Libya’s output and expectations for additional production cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and OPEC+ are also lending support,” he said.

“A weekly close below $55.00 a barrel on Brent crude will have the alarm bells ringing amongst the OPEC+ grouping,” Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at OANDA said in a note.

“Some sort of price stabilization measures is inevitable should Brent crude prices continue falling,” he added.
