中国石化新闻网讯 据阿塞新闻4月8日消息：原油价格周四下跌，因官方数据显示美国汽油库存大幅增加，引发市场担忧全球原油供应增加导致需求减弱。 截至格林威治时间06:48时，布伦特原油下跌51美分，跌幅0.8%，至每桶62.65美元。美国油价下跌53美分，至每桶59.24美元，跌幅0.9%。 美国能源部周三表示，尽管美国原油库存降幅超过分析师预估，但汽油库存大幅跳升，也出乎预期。 上周石油库存减少350万桶，至近5.02亿桶；汽油库存增加400万桶，低于预期的减少，至2.3亿桶，原因是炼油商在夏季驾驶季节之前提高了产量。 瑞穗证券能源期货主管Bob Yawger表示:“炼油商可能希望略微降低运价，以避免汽油库存突破历史纪录。” 与此同时，全球供应正在增加，俄罗斯产量较4月初的3月平均水平有所增加。 尽管如此，国际货币基金组织本周早些时候表示，为打击COVID-19大流行而投入的大量公共开支可能会使今年全球经济增长率提高到6％，这是自1970年代以来没有达到的速度。 较高的经济增长将刺激对石油及其产品的需求，从而有助于减少库存。 “更积极的宏观背景也可能吸引更多投资者对该行业的进一步兴趣。”澳新银行研究中心在一份报告中表示。该报告重申了其观点，即布伦特原油将在第三季度达到每桶75美元。 冯娟 摘译自 阿塞新闻 原文如下： Oil falls after U.S. gasoline stocks surge against expectations Crude prices fell on Thursday after official data showed a big increase in U.S. gasoline stocks, sparking concerns about demand weakening in the world’s biggest oil consumer as crude supplies around the world rise, Trend reports with reference to Reuters. Brent crude fell 51 cents, or 0.8%, to $62.65 a barrel by 0648 GMT. U.S. oil fell 53 cents, or 0.9%, to $59.24 a barrel. While crude oil stocks in the United States fell more than forecast by analysts, gasoline inventories jumped sharply, also against expectations, the U.S. Department of Energy said on Wednesday. Oil inventories dropped by 3.5 million barrels last week to nearly 502 million barrels, and gasoline stocks increased by 4 million barrels, against expectations of a decline, to just over 230 million barrels, as refiners ramped up production before the summer driving season. “Refiners may want to pull back on the run rate a bit to keep gasoline storage from challenging the all-time record,” said Bob Yawger, director of energy futures at Mizuho Securities. At the same time, supply is rising across the world with Russian output increasing from average March levels in the first few days of April, traders said. Iran may see some sanctions lifted and add to global supplies, with the United States and other powers holding talks on reviving a nuclear deal that almost stopped Iranian oil from coming to market. Still, the International Monetary Fund said earlier this week the massive public spending deployed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic may increase global growth to 6% this year, a rate not achieved since the 1970s. Higher economic growth would boost demand for oil and its products, helping to reduce stockpiles. “A more positive macro backdrop is also likely to attract further investor interest in the sector,” ANZ Research said in a note, reiterating its view that Brent crude will reach $75 a barrel in the third quarter. |
