多方面的利好消息促使油价攀升

    中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月16日报道，最新数据显示，世界第二大和第三大经济体中国和日本经济出现反弹，周一油价上涨，收复了前一交易日的部分失地。

    数据显示，中国炼厂10月份原油日加工量创历史新高，不过，美国和欧洲的新封锁令需求承压。

    截至格林尼治标准时间09：50,1月份布伦特原油LCOc1期货上涨78美分，至每桶43.56美元，涨幅为1.8%。12月份美国西德克萨斯中质原油期货上涨83美分，涨幅为2.1%。

    华侨银行经济学家Howie Lee表示:“从根本上说，中国的数据确实是支撑油价能够维持在目前这个水平的原因。”

    上周，两种基准原油合约均上涨逾8%，因市场对研制出新冠肺炎疫苗充满希望，且欧佩克及其包括俄罗斯在内的盟友将在2021年维持较低的产量以支撑价格。

    欧佩克+一直在削减约770万桶/天的产量，10月份减产协议遵约率为101%。欧佩克+计划从明年1月份开始将产量提高200万桶/天。

    欧佩克+定于周二召开部长级委员会会议，届时各国部长将在11月30日和12月1日举行会议，会议可能会建议调整产量配额。

    SEB首席商品分析师Bjarne Schieldrop表示："不可否认，石油市场完全掌握在欧佩克+手中，当前油价没有跌至每桶20美元的关键因素是欧佩克+的干预。因此，即将于11月30日至12月1日举行的会议，对全球石油市场来说具有重要意义。”

    Oil climbs higher on China, Japan rebound, hopes for OPEC+ deal

    Oil prices climbed on Monday, recouping some losses from the previous session as new data showed a rebound in the world’s second and third largest economies, China and Japan.

    Figures showed Chinese refineries processed the most crude ever in October on a daily basis, while new lockdowns in the United States and Europe weighed on demand.

    Brent crude futures for January LCOc1 were up 78 cents, or 1.8%, to $43.56 a barrel by 0950 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for December CLc1 was at $40.96, up 83 cents or 2.1%.

    “Fundamentally China’s numbers do support why oil prices can keep at these levels,” said OCBC economist Howie Lee.

    Both contracts gained more than 8% last week on hopes of a vaccine for COVID-19 and that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, including Russia, would maintain lower output next year to support prices.

    The group, known as OPEC+, has been cutting production by about 7.7 million barrels a day (bpd), with a compliance rate seen at 101% in October, and had planned to increase output by 2 million bpd from January.

    OPEC+ is set to hold a ministerial committee meeting on Tuesday that could recommend changes to production quotas when all the ministers meet on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.

    “There is no denying that the oil market is fully in the hands of OPEC+,” SEB chief commodity analyst Bjarne Schieldrop said. “The organisation is the only reason why oil prices today are not $20 a barrel. As such, their upcoming meeting on Nov 30/Dec 1 is no less hugely important.”
