中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社12月12日报道，周五油价收盘走低，原因是受新冠肺炎疫情影响，纽约限制措施造成商业受限，导致需求担忧盖过了疫苗接种计划的乐观进展的影响。 布伦特原油期货结算价下跌28美分，至每桶49.97美元，跌幅0.6%。该合约周四升至每桶51美元以上，创下3月来的高点。美国西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)下跌21美分，跌幅0.5%，至每桶46.57美元，前一交易日上涨近3%。 瑞穗(Mizuho)驻纽约能源期货主管鲍勃•Yawger表示:“纽约的限制措施令价格承压。上周四，随着布伦特原油价格升至每桶50美元的高点，各基金进行了净多头押注。当接近收盘时，投机界不愿带着净多头头寸回家。” 纽约州州长科莫(Andrew Cuomo)下令纽约市餐馆从周一起暂停室内用餐，原因是病例有所增加。 本周，布伦特原油上涨1.5%，西德克萨斯中质原油上涨不到1%。这是自6月份以来的首次连续第六周上涨。 在全球感染和死亡人数创纪录增长的情况下，疫苗试验带来的希望消除了市场的一些悲观情绪。库莫对此表示乐观，并预计17万剂辉瑞疫苗将于周日或周一抵达纽约。 英国本周开始接种疫苗，美国最早将于本周末开始接种，而加拿大周三批准了第一种疫苗，将于下周开始接种。 美国食品和药物管理局(FDA）的外部顾问投票支持紧急使用辉瑞公司的疫苗，为该机构授权在美国使用该疫苗铺平了道路。要知道，新冠肺炎已导致美国逾28.5万人死亡。 Rystad能源分析师Paola Rodriguez-Masiu表示:“由于疫苗接二连三获得批准，而且在关键市场的获批速度要比预想的快得多，似乎没有不好的因素出现。” 上周美国原油库存大幅增加，提醒人们市场仍有大量供应可获得，但在本周牛市席卷市场之际，这一点几乎被忽略了。另一个供应充足的信号出现在周五，美国能源公司本周增加了自1月份以来最多的石油和天然气钻井平台，生产商不断回到井场。 经纪公司PVM的斯蒂芬•布伦诺克表示:“在美国石油库存上升的情况下，人们期待已久的疫苗接种计划的推出提供了充足的乐观情绪。” 不过，由于市场面临英国在没有达成贸易协议的情况下退出欧盟的风险，全球股市下跌，拖累了市场人气。 值得注意的是，周五，英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊(Boris Johnson)和欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯·德莱恩(Ursula von der Leyen)表示，不太可能达成协议。 王佳晶 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Oil pulls back amid New York coronavirus curbs, gains for a 6th week Oil prices settled lower on Friday, as demand worries due to new coronavirus-related restrictions on business in New York overshadowed progress toward vaccination programs. Brent futures settled down 28 cents, or 0.6% at $49.97 a barrel. The contract rose above $51 a barrel on Thursday to an early-March high. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 21 cents, or 0.5%, to $46.57, having risen almost 3% in the previous session. “Restrictions in New York are weighing on prices,” said Bob Yawger, director of energy futures for Mizuho in New York. On Thursday, funds had placed net long bets as Brent topped $50 a barrel. “As we approach the close, the speculator community is reluctant to go home with a net long position,” he said. Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered New York City restaurants to suspend indoor dining effective Monday, amid an uptick in cases. For the week, Brent was up 1.5% and WTI was up less than 1%. That was the sixth consecutive week of gains for the first time since June. Promising vaccine trials have helped lift some gloom over record increases in the number of coronavirus infections and deaths around the world, and Cuomo sounded a note of optimism, saying he expected 170,000 doses of Pfizer’s vaccine to be in New York by Sunday or Monday. Britain began inoculations this week and the United States could start vaccinations as early as the coming weekend, while Canada on Wednesday approved its first vaccine with initial shots due from next week. Outside advisers for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have voted to endorse emergency use of Pfizer’s vaccine, paving the way for the agency to authorise its use in a nation where COVID-19 has killed more than 285,000. “The vaccine optimism ... seems to continue unscathed due to the back-to-back approvals vaccines are getting and the quicker-than-previously-thought rollout of the first campaigns in key markets,” Rystad Energy analyst Paola Rodriguez-Masiu said. A big jump in U.S. crude stockpiles last week served as a reminder that there is still plenty of supply available, but it was all but ignored as bulls ran through the market this week. Another signal of abundant supplies came on Friday as U.S. energy firms this week added the most oil and natural gas rigs in a week since January as producers keep returning to the wellpad. “The long-awaited rollout of vaccination programmes provided ample bullish fodder in the face of rising U.S. oil inventories,” brokerage PVM’s Stephen Brennock said. A fall in world shares as markets confronted the risk of Britain leaving the European Union without a trade deal weighed on sentiment. On Friday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said a deal was unlikely. |
