中国石化新闻网讯 据外汇日报8月26日消息：在美国政府报告国内库存连续第5周下降后，原油期货在周中小幅走高。飓风迫使墨西哥湾大部分石油生产和炼油厂暂停，油价也因此得到支撑。与此同时，美国原油价格触及5个月来最高水平。 纽约商品交易所周三格林威治时间16:32时，西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)期货上涨0.15美元，至每桶43.50美元，涨幅0.35%。美国原油有望实现约5%的月度涨幅，将今年迄今的跌幅降至29%以下。 国际油价基准布伦特的盘中交易相对低迷。11月布伦特原油期货上涨0.05美元，至每桶46.34美元，涨幅0.11%。自今年5月以来，布伦特原油价格已飙升逾32%，并有望再涨5%。今年迄今，布伦特原油价格下跌约30%。 根据美国能源信息署(EIA)的数据，截至8月21日当周，美国国内石油库存下降470万桶。高于市场预计的430万桶左右。这也是连续第5周下跌。俄克拉荷马州库欣的石油库存减少30万桶。汽油库存减少460万桶，馏分油库存增加140万桶。 上周，贝克休斯石油钻井平台的数量从172个增加到183个。 受飓风影响，据估计，目前墨西哥湾80%以上的原油产量和60%以上的天然气产量已被关闭。EIA指出，美国近一半的石油提炼能力位于墨西哥湾。目前，分析人士正在观望飓风是否会对炼油厂和管道造成持久的破坏。 其他能源商品方面，10月天然气期货下跌0.005美元，跌幅0.19%，至每百万英热2.591美元。汽油期货下跌0.0103美元，跌幅0.81%，至每加仑1.2583美元。取暖油期货下跌0.0115美元，跌幅0.9%，至每加仑1.2631美元。 冯娟 摘译自 外汇日报 原文如下: US Crude Rises on Fifth Straight Weekly Supply Drop, Hurricane Laura Crude oil futures are trading slightly higher midweek after the US government reported the fifth consecutive week of a drop in domestic inventories. Oil prices are also finding support on Hurricane Laura that has forced the suspension of most Gulf of Mexico production and refinery. This comes as US crude touched its best level in five months. October West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures picked up $0.15, or 0.35%, to $43.50 per barrel at 16:32 GMT on Wednesday on the New York Mercantile Exchange. US crude is on track for a monthly gain of around 5%, paring its year-to-date decline to below 29%. Brent, the international benchmark for oil prices, has been relatively subdued in intraday trading. November Brent crude futures added $0.05, or 0.11%, to $46.34 per barrel. Brent prices have surged more than 32% since May, and they are poised for another monthly surge of 5%. So far this year, Brent is down about 30%. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), domestic stockpiles decreased by 4.7 million barrels for the week ending August 21. This came in bigger than the market forecast of around 4.3 million barrels. This was also the fifth consecutive weekly decline. Oil inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma storage facility slipped by 300,000 barrels. Gasoline stockpiles slipped by 4.6 million barrels, while distillate inventories advanced by 1.4 million barrels. Last week, the Baker Hughes oil rig count increased surprisingly, from 172 to 183. The National Hurricane Center elevated Hurricane Laura’s status to a Category 4. The experts are warning that the “life-threatening” weather event might lead to a storm surge, flash floods, and extreme winds in Texas and Louisiana. It is estimated that more than 80% of current crude output in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut-in, as well as more than 60% of natural gas production. The EIA notes that nearly half of the total US petroleum refining capacity is located in the Gulf. For now, analysts are waiting to see if Laura will do lasting damage to refineries and pipelines. In other energy commodities, October natural gas futures dipped $0.005, or 0.19%, to $2.591 per million British thermal units (btu). October gasoline futures slid $0.0103, or 0.81%, to $1.2583 per gallon. October heating oil futures shed $0.0115, or 0.9%, to $1.2631 a gallon. |
