中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价网站11月4日消息 全球最大的石油出口国沙特阿拉伯似乎不相信近期需求有很大增长空间，因为它降低了其主要市场亚洲的旗舰级原油的官方售价。 沙特国家石油巨头阿美石油公司周四下调了12月份运往亚洲的阿拉伯轻质原油的官方销售价格（OSP），下调幅度为0.10美元/桶，折价0.50美元/桶，中东产油国正是根据这一平均价格在亚洲销售原油。 这一降价符合亚洲炼油商的预期。亚洲炼油商上周在路透社调查中表示，由于炼油利润率下降和迪拜基准价格走弱，他们预计12月油价或将小幅下调，或与11月持平。 沙特原油的定价通常在每个月的第五天左右公布，这通常会决定其他海湾产油国（如阿联酋、科威特、伊拉克等）在亚洲的定价趋势。沙特阿美的定价影响了高达1200万桶/天的中东原油流向亚洲。 沙特还下调了在美国销售的所有等级原油的价格，但上调了12月份运往欧洲和地中海的沙特原油的所有价格。 沙特下调其出口至亚洲的旗舰原油价格，与上月阿拉伯轻质原油价格上涨形成鲜明对比，市场将此解读为全球最大的石油出口国看到需求增强的迹象。 然而，自10月初以来，随着欧洲和美国以及亚洲部分地区的第二轮COVID-19有可能破坏第二季度经济衰退后的复苏，市场对近期石油需求越来越担忧。 欧佩克秘书长巴金多本人上周表示，全球经济和石油需求复苏仍然乏力，而包括法国、德国和英国在内的欧洲主要经济体恢复封锁令布伦特油价上周跌破每桶40美元。 王磊 摘译自 今日油价 原文如下： Saudi Arabia Cuts Oil Prices To Asian Market The world’s top oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, appears unconvinced that near-term demand has much room to grow as it reduced its official selling price for its flagship crude grade to its key market Asia. Saudi state oil giant Aramco cut on Thursday its official selling price (OSP) for the Arab Light crude grade shipped to Asia in December by $0.10 a barrel to a discount of $0.50 versus the benchmark Oman/Dubai average, off which Middle Eastern producers price the crude oil they sell in Asia, Bloomberg reported. The cut was in line with Asian refiners’ expectations, who said in a Reuters survey last week that they expected either a small cut in prices or flat prices for December compared to November, because of weakening refining margins and weakening Dubai benchmark prices. The pricing of Saudi crude, typically released around the fifth of each month, generally sets the trend for the pricing for Asia of other Gulf oil producers such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran. The pricing of Saudi Aramco affects as much as 12 million barrels per day (bpd) of Middle Eastern crude grades going to Asia. The Saudis also cut the prices for all their grades sold in the United States, but lifted all prices for Saudi crude going to Europe and the Mediterranean for December. The Saudi cut for its flagship crude to Asia is in contrast with last month’s increase in the price of Arab Light, which the market interpreted as a sign that the world’s top oil exporter sees demand strengthening. However, since early October, markets have been increasingly concerned about near-term oil demand as the second COVID-19 wave in Europe and the United States, and in parts of Asia, threatens to unravel the recovery from the second-quarter slump. OPEC Secretary General Mohammad Barkindo himself said last week that global economic and oil demand recovery was still anemic, while the return of lockdowns in major economies in Europe—including France, Germany, and the UK—sent the Brent price below $40 a barrel last week. |
