中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社8月20日报道，油价周四下跌，因欧佩克+和美国联邦储备理事会(美联储FED)对新冠病毒疫情后的经济复苏持谨慎态度，引发需求担忧。 格林威治时间09：33，布伦特原油价格下跌48美分，至每桶44.89美元，跌幅为1%;西德克萨斯中质原油价格下跌34美分，至每桶42.59美元，跌幅为0.8%。 FXTM首席市场策略师侯赛因•赛耶德(Hussein Sayed)表示:“今年夏天新冠肺炎感染病例激增，削弱了经济复苏势头，任何仍相信存在v型复苏的人都需要考虑再次对市场进行评估。” 分析师表示，美元走强也给油价带来压力，令油价陷于近几周狭窄的交易区间。 自6月中旬以来，油价一直在区间内波动，布伦特原油价格在每桶40美元至46美元之间，西德克萨斯中质原油价格在每桶37美元至43美元之间。 欧佩克+及其盟友周三表示，石油市场复苏的步伐似乎比预期的要慢，第二波疫情持续的风险越来越大。 由于对需求复苏的担忧，欧佩克敦促超出目标产量的产油国在8月和9月进一步减产。 几位美联储成员表示，由于就业反弹已经在放缓，可能需要进一步放松货币政策，物价承压。 美国能源信息署（EIA）周三表示，美国燃料日需求量减少逾200万桶至1720万桶。过去四周的燃料总需求较上年同期下降了14%。随着夏季出行季节的结束，燃料需求趋于下降。 EIA称，尽管净进口量有所增加，但美国原油库存仍连续第四周下降。 王佳晶 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Oil falls on caution over demand recovery Oil prices fell on Thursday on demand concerns driven by cautious views from OPEC+ producers and the U.S. Federal Reserve regarding economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. Brent crude LCOc1 was down 48 cents, or 1%, at $44.89 a barrel at 0933 GMT, and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) U.S. oil CLc1 fell 34 cents, or 0.8%, at $42.59 a barrel. “The surge in COVID-19 infections over the summer has muted the recovery and anyone still believing in a V-shaped recovery needs to do some reassessment,” said Hussein Sayed, chief market strategist at FXTM. A firmer U.S. dollar also put pressure on oil prices, analysts said, leaving them stuck in their narrow trading range of recent weeks. Oil prices have been rangebound since mid-June, with Brent trading between $40 and $46 per barrel, and WTI between $37 and $43. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known an OPEC+, said on Wednesday that the pace of oil market recovery appeared to be slower than anticipated with growing risks of a prolonged second wave of the pandemic. The group pressed oil nations pumping above output targets to cut more in August-September due to concerns about the strength of recovery in demand. Prices were also pressured after several U.S. Fed members said additional monetary policy easing may be needed because a rebound in employment was already slowing. The U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday that U.S. fuel demand fell by more than 2 million barrels per day (bpd) to 17.2 million bpd in terms of product supplied. Overall fuel demand in the last four weeks is down 14% from year-ago levels. As the summer driving season comes to a close, fuel demand tends to decline. However, stockpiles of crude in the United States fell for a fourth straight week, even as net imports rose, the EIA said. |
