路透社：中国经济数据利好推动油价攀升

    中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社8月10日报道 受中国工厂数据改善和各国放松疫情相关出行限制带来的能源需求上升的支撑，周一油价上涨，但交易商仍持谨慎态度，因美国经济放缓，美国经济刺激方案的不确定性以及国际贸易紧张局势等因素。

    格林尼治标准时间08：52，布伦特原油价格上涨54美分，至每桶44.94美元，涨幅为1.2%，而美国西德克萨斯中质原油价格上涨69美分，涨幅为1.7%，至每桶41.91美元。

    沙特阿美首席执行官Amin Nasser周日表示，随着亚洲经济体逐渐开放，预计石油需求将反弹。

    受全球油价上涨和工业活动回升至疫情爆发前水平的推动，这个全球第二大经济体的复苏增添了新的迹象。但瑞银分析师Giovanni Staunovo称："由于石油需求仍在缓慢攀升，加上OPEC+减产协议导致石油供应受限，且油价过低无法刺激美国强劲的生产增长，因此石油市场仍供应不足。"

    伊拉克上周五表示，将在8月和9月将石油日产量再削减40万桶，以弥补过去3个月的产量过剩。此举将有助于该国履行OPEC+所规定的减产份额。德国商业银行分析师尤根•温伯格（Eugen Weinberg）表示：“这将向石油市场发出一个强烈信号。也就是说，这也将要求在伊拉克运营的跨国公司加入到减产计划中来。”

    Oil climbs on positive China data, rising demand

    Oil rose on Monday, supported by an improvement in Chinese factory data and rising energy demand as countries eased coronavirus-related lockdowns, but traders remained cautious due to tensions and uncertainty over a U.S. stimulus package.

    Brent crude LCOc1 rose 54 cents, or 1.2%, to $44.94 a barrel by 0852 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 was up 69 cents, or 1.7%, to $41.91 a barrel.

    Saudi Arabian Aramco (2222.SE) Chief Executive Amin Nasser said on Sunday that he sees oil demand rebounding in Asia as economies gradually open up.

    China’s factory eased in July, driven by a rise in global oil prices and as industrial activity climbed back towards pre-coronavirus levels, adding to signs of recovery in the world’s second-largest economy.

    “With oil demand still slowly grinding higher, and oil supply in check due to the OPEC+ production cut deal and prices too low to incentivize strong production growth in the United States, the oil market remains undersupplied,” UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said.

    Iraq said on Friday it would cut its oil output by a further 400,000 barrels per day in August and September to compensate for its overproduction in the past three months. The move would help it comply with its share of cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as OPEC+.

    “This would send out a strong signal to the oil market on various levels. That said, this would also require the international companies operating in Iraq to join in with the cuts,” Commerzbank analyst Eugen Weinberg said.
