亚洲市场石油和黄金价格依然坚挺

    中国石化新闻网讯 据1月28日Investing.com报道，美元反弹，布伦特(Brent)原油和西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)价格小幅下跌，这可能要感谢低于预期的美国官方原油库存限制了损失。布伦特原油价格下跌0.84%，至55.55美元/桶，西德克萨斯中质原油价格下跌0.24%，至52.60美元/桶。这两种合约在亚洲市场均未变动。

    周四，油价从盘中低点迅速反弹，这表明即使在目前的水平上，市场仍有大量的现货购买兴趣。这与亚洲经济复苏及其与当前亚洲天然气价格较高的相关性一致。如果美元继续上涨，对美国经济复苏步伐的紧张情绪加剧，股市进一步下跌，那么油价将面临进一步的下行压力。不过，当下的油价走势表明，任何大幅下跌都将是短暂的。

    布伦特原油的阻力位为每桶56.60美元和57.40美元，支撑位为每桶54.50美元。WTI的阻力位为每桶54.00美元，支撑位为每桶51.60美元。

    尽管股市、金价下跌，面对美元走强，金价跌幅不大。今天上午，金价仅下跌0.34%，至每盎司1844.50美元，亚洲金价又小幅下跌0.53%，至每盎司1837.60美元。

    不过，看涨黄金的交易员可以从过去24小时的价格走势中获得一些信心。面对股市大幅下跌，黄金在一夜之间的表现要好于许多个月以来的表现。这表明，美国收益率小幅走低的推动下，黄金正受益于一些避险需求。

    Oil And Gold Hold Steady

    Oil prices remain firm

    The dollar rally overnight saw modest only modest falls by Brent crude and WTI, which can probably thank lower than expected official US crude inventories for limiting the damage. Brent crude fell 0.84% to USD55.55 a barrel, and WTI fell only 0.24% to USD52.60 a barrel. Both contracts are unchanged in the Asian session.

    Oil rallied back quickly from its intra-day lows overnight, suggesting that there is plenty of physical buying interest even at these levels. That is in keeping with the Asian recovery and its correlation to very high Asian gas prices at the moment. If the US dollar continues to rally, nerves increase about the US recovery pace, and equity markets fall further, then oil prices will face further downside pressure. The price action overnight, though, suggests any steep falls will be short-lived.

    Brent crude is bound by resistance at USD56.60 and USD57.40 a barrel, with support at USD54.50 a barrel. WTI has resistance at USD54.00 a barrel, and support at USD51.60 a barrel. Clearance of those levels, either way, will signal oil’s next directional move.

    Although gold fell overnight with equity markets, and in the face of a stronger US dollar, its fall was modest. Gold fell just 0.34% to USD1844.50 an ounce, edging another 0.53% lower to USD1837.60 an ounce in Asia this morning.

    Bullish gold traders can take some heart from the price action of the last 24 hours, however. Gold performed much better overnight in the face of a sharp fall in equity markets than it has for many a month. That suggests that gold is benefitting from some haven demand, boosted by US yields moving slightly lower overnight.
