中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月19日报道，因对全球新冠肺炎病例激增的担忧抑制了需求复苏的前景，同时中国第三季度经济增长弱于预期，石油价格周一下跌。 截至格林尼治标准时间08：56，12月布伦特原油期货LCOc1下跌16美分，至每桶42.77美元，跌幅0.4%。美国西德克萨斯中质油11月期货价格下跌11美分，至每桶40.77美元，跌幅0.3%。合约将于星期二到期。 据路透社统计，周一，全球新冠肺炎病例突破4000万。 德国商业银行(Commerzbank)分析师欧根•温伯格(Eugen Weinberg)表示:“即使最近全球新冠肺炎病例创历史新高，还没有导致需求预测进一步下调，但目前也没有迹象表明有望复苏。” 许多欧洲政府正在加强出行限制，以遏制病毒的传播。 石油经纪商PVM的斯蒂芬•布伦诺克(Stephen Brennock)表示:“最近一系列严格的限制措施将不可避免地阻碍经济增长，并破坏燃料需求复苏。” 与此同时，中国今年早些时候的石油购买狂潮预计将在第四季度放缓。9月份，中国炼油企业放慢了加工速度。政府数据显示，中国经济第三季度同比增长4.9%，低于分析师5.2%的预期。 投资者亦关注周一稍晚举行的欧佩克+产油国联合部长级监督委员会(JMMC)会议。消息人士对路透表示，该委员会将讨论需求前景趋弱以及利比亚增产的问题，但不太可能建议立即采取行动。 世界上最大的石油生产国美国的能源公司上周增加了自今年1月以来最多的石油和天然气钻井平台，值得一提的是，近几个月来原油价格一直保持在每桶40美元左右。 王佳晶 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Oil falls as demand concerns loom and Europe enters new lockdowns Oil prices fell on Monday as concerns over surging coronavirus cases globally dampened the prospects for demand recovery while China’s third-quarter economic growth was weaker than expected. Brent crude for December LCOc1 slipped 16 cents, or 0.4%, to $42.77 a barrel by 0856 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for November CLc1 was down 11 cents, or 0.3%, at $40.77. The contract will expire on Tuesday. Worldwide coronavirus cases crossed 40 million on Monday, according to a Reuters tally. “Even if the recent record-high new cases of COVID-19 worldwide have not yet caused demand forecasts to be revised further downwards, there is no sign as yet of the hoped-for recovery,” said Commerzbank analyst Eugen Weinberg. Many European governments are tightening lockdowns to curb the spread of virus. “This latest swathe of stringent restrictions will inevitably impede economic growth and undermine the fuel demand recovery,” said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM. Meanwhile, China’s oil-buying frenzy earlier this year is expected to slow in the fourth quarter. Chinese refiners have slowed their processing rates in September. China’s economy expanded by 4.9% in the third quarter from a year earlier, missing analyst expectations of 5.2%, government data showed. Investors are also focusing on the OPEC+ oil producer group’s Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) meeting later on Monday. The committee is expected to discuss the weakening demand outlook as well as increased output from Libya but is unlikely to recommend immediate action, sources told Reuters. Energy companies in the United States, the world’s biggest oil producer, last week added the most oil and natural gas rigs since January, with crude prices having held around $40 a barrel in recent months. |
