国际油价结束三日上涨趋势

中国石化新闻网讯 据3月26日路透社报道，油价在连续三天上涨后，周四出现下滑。截至格林威治时间04：41，布伦特原油期货LCOc1下跌19美分，至每桶27.20美元，跌幅为0.7%。西德克萨斯中质原油期货CLc1下跌37美分，至每桶24.12美元，跌幅为1.5%。这两种原油今年都下跌了约60%。

美国参议院星期三通过一项2万亿美元的法案，旨在帮助失业工人和受影响的行业渡过危机。但随着需求快速萎缩和产出增加，石油前景依然黯淡。IHS Markit预计，第二季度全球石油需求将减少逾1400万桶/天，导致石油库存空前增加。IHS Markit金融服务副总裁罗杰?迪万（Roger Diwan）称："预计基本面压力将集中在3月和4月，目前库存累积将超过10亿桶。"

与此同时，沙特计划从5月起将石油日产量提高1000万桶以上，这势必会导致石油供应的增加。尽管油轮租赁成本上涨了50%-100%，石油公司和交易商仍争相存储原油和成品油。目前世界各地的油罐在迅速填满，石油库存不断上升。

Oil prices slip as demand shrinks, but stimulus supports

Oil prices slipped on Thursday following three days of gains, with the prospect of rapidly dwindling demand due to coronavirus travel bans and lockdowns. Brent crude LCOc1 futures fell 19 cents, or 0.7%, to $27.20 a barrel by 0441 GMT, Reuters said.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 futures fell 37 cents, or 1.5%, to $24.12 a barrel. Both contracts are down about 60% this year. The U.S. Senate on Wednesday overwhelmingly backed a $2 trillion bill aimed at helping unemployed workers and industries hurt by the coronavirus epidemic. But with demand fast contracting and output rising, the outlook for oil remains dim. IHS Markit estimated global oil demand will contract by more than 14 million barrels per day (bpd) in the second quarter, leading to unprecedented inventory builds. "Expect fundamental pressure concentrated over March and April, an eight-week blitz period over which stocks currently stand to build north of 1 billion barrels cumulatively," said Roger Diwan, vice president of financial services at IHS Markit. At the same time, the collapse of a supply-cut pact between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producers led by Russia, known as OPEC+, is set to boost oil supply, with Saudi Arabia planning to ship more than 10 million bpd from May. Oil stocks are already rising with tanks around the world filling fast despite a 50%-100% jump in lease costs, as oil companies and traders scramble to park unwanted crude and refined products.
