美国库存急剧增加 原油价格下跌2美元

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站10月28日消息 周四油价下跌逾2美元/桶，布伦特原油跌至两周来最低，此前官方数据显示美国原油库存意外增加。

　　格林尼治时间02:45，布伦特原油在触及82.32美元/桶的日低后，下跌2.11美元/桶，至82.47美元/桶。

　　美国WTI下跌1.84美元/桶，至80.82美元/桶，此前跌至80.58美元/桶的交易日低点，下跌了2.08美元/桶。

　　美国能源信息管理局（EIA）的每周供应统计数据显示，美国原油库存的增长远高于预期。

　　截至10月22日的一周内，原油库存增加430万桶。

　　然而，根据EIA的数据，上周美国的汽油库存下降了200万桶，降至近四年来的最低水平。

　　俄克拉荷马州库欣市纽约商品交易所（NYMEX）交货点的库存正在枯竭，这反映出国内对汽油和柴油的需求不断上升，但同时也反映出不断扩大的现货市场结构，阻碍了库存增加。

　　UOB全球经济市场研究公司在一份报告中表示：“俄克拉荷马州库欣的原油库存下降幅度最大，至约2730万桶，为2018年10月以来的最低水平。”

　　Crude slumps by $2/bbl on sharp increase in US inventories

　　Oil prices fell by more than $2/bbl on Thursday, with Brent crude dropping to its lowest in two weeks after official data showed an unexpected rise in US crude inventories.

　　At 02:45 GMT, Brent crude was down $2.11/bbl at $82.47/bbl, after touching a session low of $82.32/bbl.

　　US WTI fell by $1.84/bbl to $80.82/bbl after dropping to a session low of $80.58/bbl, down $2.08/bbl.

　　Weekly supply statistics from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed a much greater-than-forecast build in US crude oil inventories.

　　Crude stocks rose by 4.3m barrels in the week to 22 October.

　　Gasoline stocks in the US, however, fell by 2m barrels to the lowest in nearly four years last week, according to the EIA.

　　Inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma NYMEX delivery point are being depleted, reflecting rising domestic demand for gasoline and diesel, but also a widening backwardation market structure that discourages building inventories.

　　"Crude holdings at Cushing Oklahoma fell by the most since January (2021) to about 27.3m barrels, the lowest level since Oct 2018," UOB Global Economics & Markets Research said in a note.
