中国石化新闻网讯据路透社12月22日报道,因英国出现新的冠状病毒株,再度引发市场对需求复苏的担忧,油价周二跌至每桶50美元,继前一交易日下跌后再度下跌。 发现这种新病毒株后,几个国家关闭了与英国的边境,不过英国一位部长表示,英国和法国正在努力重新开放欧洲最重要的贸易通道之一。 截至格林尼治标准时间11:25,布伦特原油价格下跌32美分,至每桶50.59美元,跌幅0.6%,而美国西德克萨斯中质原油价格下跌67美分,跌幅1.4%,至每桶47.30美元。 周一,这两个基准指标均下跌近3%,部分抵消了近期因新冠肺炎疫苗推出的利好消息推动的涨幅。要知道,新冠肺炎疫苗被视为人们恢复正常生活的关键。 石油经纪商PVM的塔马斯•瓦尔加(Tamas Varga)表示:“在当前负面担忧与未来乐观情绪之间的摇摆中,担忧情绪有占主导地位的倾向。” 上周五,布伦特原油价格达到每桶52.48美元,为3月份以来的最高水平。一些人认为油价存在着进一步下跌的可能。券商OANDA的杰弗里•哈雷(Jeffrey Halley)表示:“环境显然仍是充满风险的,考虑到油价两个月来上涨的规模,不排除出现更大幅度调整的可能性。” 在数月的停滞之后,美国国会批准了一项8920亿美元的新冠肺炎疫情一揽子援助计划,为石油行业提供了支持。 值得一提的是,欧佩克+定于明年1月将原油日产量提高50万桶,且目前还没有迹象表明在价格下跌时会让其产生任何的动摇。 俄罗斯副总理诺瓦克(Alexander Novak)周一表示,产出的增加不应导致供应过剩。 王佳晶 摘译自 路透社 原文如下: Oil drops as new coronavirus strain revives demand fears Oil dropped towards $50 a barrel on Tuesday, adding to losses from the previous session, as a new coronavirus strain in the United Kingdom revived concerns over demand recovery. Detection of the new strain prompted several countries to close their borders to Britain, though a British minister said the UK and France are working to reopen one of Europe’s most important trade routes. Brent crude was down 32 cents, or 0.6%, at $50.59 a barrel by 1125 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 67 cents, or 1.4%, to $47.30. Both benchmarks slid nearly 3% on Monday, partly erasing recent gains driven by the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, seen as key to allowing a return to normal life. “In the battle between immediate negative concerns and future optimism, the former is now fighting back,” said Tamas Varga of oil broker PVM. The latest rally culminated in Brent hitting $52.48, its highest since March, on Friday. Some see potential for prices to fall further. “The environment remains decidedly risk-averse,” said Jeffrey Halley of brokerage OANDA. “Given the scale of oil’s two-month rally, a deeper correction cannot be ruled out.” Oil gained support from U.S. Congress approval for a $892 billion coronavirus aid package after months of inaction. In focus will be the latest U.S. oil inventory reports, expected to show crude stocks fell by 3.3 million barrels. The American Petroleum Institute’s report is due at 2130 GMT.[EIA/S] The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, a group known as OPEC+, are set to boost output by 500,000 barrels per day in January. There is no sign yet of any wavering induced by the price drop. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak on Monday said the rise in output should not result in a glut. |
