中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社12月16日新加坡消息，因美国原油库存意外增加，且投资者继续担心欧洲为应对新冠大流行而加强封锁措施，导致燃料需求受到挤压，油价周三出现下跌。 格林尼治标准时间01：26，布伦特原油期货下跌8美分，至每桶50.68美元，跌幅0.2%;美国西德克萨斯中质油(WTI)原油期货下跌6美分，跌幅0.1%，至每桶47.56美元。 外汇经纪商OANDA资深市场分析师Edward Moya称:“在美国石油协会(API)库存报告连续第二个月增加后，原油价格略有回落。” 根据API数据，截至12月11日当周，原油库存增加200万桶，至4.95亿桶左右。 路透调查显示，分析师此前预计原油需求为190万桶。政府官方数据定于周三公布。 国际能源署(IEA)周二警告称，本月推出的抗击新冠疫苗无法迅速扭转对全球石油需求造成的破坏。 IEA将今年的石油需求预估下调5万桶/天，将明年的需求预估下调17万桶/天，理由是飞机旅行乘客减少导致航空燃料使用量下降。 FGE分析师在一份报告中写道:“在需求方面，鉴于当前疫情流行趋势，预计近期最大的下行风险是美国，因为该国汽油需求持续疲软。” 尽管如此，在莫德纳公司（Moderna Inc）的COVID-19疫苗本周有望获得美国监管机构批准后，疫苗投放的进展仍在继续。 周二，美国还将新批准的由辉瑞公司(Pfizer Inc.)和德国合作伙伴BioNTech SE开发的COVID-19疫苗推广到数百个额外的配送中心，为数千名医护人员接种了大规模免疫接种，预计在未来几个月将普及到普通民众。 沈彦 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Oil prices slip on surprise gain in U.S. inventory, demand worries Oil prices dropped on Wednesday on a surprise gain in crude oil inventories in the United States and as investors continued to worry about demand for fuel being squeezed amid tighter lockdowns in Europe to counter the coronavirus pandemic. Brent crude futures fell 8 cents, or 0.2%, to $50.68 a barrel at 0126 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell 6 cents, or 0.1%, to $47.56 a barrel. “Crude prices are slightly softer after the API (American Petroleum Institute) inventory report posted a second consecutive build,” said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA. Crude inventories swelled by 2 million barrels in the week to Dec. 11 to about 495 million barrels, according to industry group API. Analysts had expected a draw of 1.9 million barrels, according to a Reuters poll. Official government data was scheduled for Wednesday. The rollout of vaccines this month to combat the coronavirus pandemic will not quickly reverse the destruction wrought on global oil demand, International Energy Agency (IEA) warned on Tuesday. The IEA revised down its estimates for oil demand this year by 50,000 barrels per day (bpd) and for next year by 170,000 bpd, citing scarce jet fuel use as fewer people travel by air. “On the demand side, the biggest near-term downside risk to oil demand expectations is the United States, predominately due to persistent weaknesses in U.S. gasoline demand, given the current trajectory of COVID-19 in the country,” analysts at FGE wrote in a note. Still, progress on vaccine rollouts continued on Tuesday after Moderna Inc’s COVID-19 vaccine appeared set for U.S. regulatory authorisation this week. The U.S. also expanded on Tuesday its rollout of the newly approved COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc and German partner BioNTech SE to hundreds of additional distribution centres on Tuesday, inoculating thousands more healthcare workers in a mass immunisation expected to reach the general public in the coming months. |
