中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社12月7日纽约消息，IHS Markit旗下石油价格信息服务公司（Opis）数据显示，因冠状病毒病例激增，且政府敦促居民待在家中，美国感恩节假期当周的汽油消耗量降至20年来最低点。 自3月冠状病毒大流行以来，因遏制病毒传播的政府封锁禁令，人们不得不待在家中，这几乎重创了美国的燃料需求。 OPIS称，在11月26日感恩节假期当周，汽油销售较前一周减少8.4%，降幅约为1.85亿加仑，汽油需求降至1997年以来假日周的最低水平。该公司警告称，燃油需求到年底仍可能恶化。 上周冠状病毒死亡人数创下单日最高纪录后，美国领导人紧急呼吁美国人民戴上口罩，并表示会下令更严厉地居家隔离措施。 OPIS表示，与2019年相比，汽车燃料的需求下降了19.3%。 IHS Markit执行董事、北美燃料趋势资深分析师汤姆•克洛萨(Tom Kloza)表示:“我们即将迎来一个90天的时期，在这个时期，汽油需求将因冬季天气和节后市场萎缩而进一步受到影响。”“到明年1月，我们可能会经常见到自上世纪以来从未见过的低需求数字。” OPIS表示，美国一些地区在感恩节期间的汽油销量较上年同期下降了20%甚至更多。 中西部的汽油销量比去年下降了23.3%，而新泽西州是受影响最严重的州，汽油销量比2019年下降了近30%。 沈彦 摘译自 路透社 原文如下: U.S. gasoline demand during Thanksgiving week lowest since 1997: OPIS U.S. gasoline consumption fell during the Thanksgiving holiday week to the lowest in more than 20 years, said OPIS, an IHS Markit company, as coronavirus cases surged and government officials urged residents to stay home. Since March, the coronavirus pandemic has crushed fuel demand in the United States because of lockdown orders to stay indoors to curb the spread of the virus. During the week of the Thanksgiving holiday on Nov. 26, gasoline sales fell 8.4%, or about 185 million gallons, from the previous week, bringing demand for the fuel to its lowest level for the holiday week since 1997, OPIS said. The company warned that demand could still get worse by year-end. U.S. leaders have urgently called on Americans to wear masks and threatened even more drastic stay-at-home orders after deaths from the coronavirus set a single-day record last week. Demand for motor fuel was down 19.3% compared to 2019, OPIS said. “We’re heading toward a 90-day period where gasoline demand gets further crimped by winter weather and post-holiday cocooning,” said Tom Kloza, executive director, IHS Markit and a veteran analyst of North American fuel trends. “By January, we may regularly see demand numbers not witnessed since the last century.” Some U.S. regions saw gasoline sales decline by 20% or more during Thanksgiving week from the previous year, OPIS said. Midwest gasoline sales were down 23.3% from last year, while New Jersey was the hardest hit state, with gasoline volumes falling almost 30% from 2019, OPIS said. |
