一季度油價(jià)跌幅近70%

據(jù)4月1日Bahrain News Agency報(bào)道，由于美國石油庫存增長超出預(yù)期，且歐佩克成員國間談判破裂，加劇了石油供應(yīng)過剩，全球原油價(jià)格在出現(xiàn)了有史以來最大的季度和月度跌幅后，周三進(jìn)一步下跌。

美國石油學(xué)會(huì)(API)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，上周美國原油庫存增加了1050萬桶，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過400萬桶的增長預(yù)期。而歐佩克缺乏有效舉措來改善市場的看跌情緒——沙特阿拉伯和歐佩克其他成員國周二未能就4月份舉行會(huì)議討論油價(jià)下滑達(dá)成協(xié)議。

當(dāng)前全球經(jīng)濟(jì)增長放緩，石油需求銳減，目前油價(jià)接近2002年以來的最低水平。據(jù)路透社報(bào)道，原油期貨價(jià)格在3月份創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄下跌后，本季度結(jié)束下跌幅度近70%。

截至格林尼治時(shí)間3時(shí)45分，布倫特原油價(jià)格下跌47美分，跌幅為1.8%，至每桶25.88美元。美國西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油價(jià)格上漲12美分，至每桶20.6美元，漲幅為0.6%，分析師表示，油價(jià)上漲受二季度初的持倉影響。

Oil prices fall as US inventory build-up heightens

Global crude oil prices slid further on Wednesday, following their biggest-ever quarterly and monthly losses, as a bigger-than-expected rise in U.S. inventories and a widening rift within OPEC heightened oversupply fears.

Oil prices are near their lowest since 2002 amid the global coronavirus crisis that has brought a worldwide economic slowdown and slashed oil demand. Crude futures ended the quarter down nearly 70% after record losses in March, Reuters reported.

As of 0345 GMT, Brent crude was down by 47 cents, or 1.8%, at $25.88 a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude was up 12 cents, or 0.6%, at $20.6 a barrel, an uptick analysts said was driven by position building at the start of a the new quarter.

US crude inventories rose by 10.5 million barrels last week, far exceeding forecasts for a 4 million barrel build-up, data from industry group the American Petroleum Institute showed.

The bearish mood in the market wasn’t improved by a rift within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Saudi Arabia and other members of OPEC were unable to come to an agreement on Tuesday to meet in April to discuss sliding prices.

原油超額供應(yīng)沖擊市場

Oil Declines With More Turbulence Seen After Worst Quarter Ever

Oil dipped back toward $20 a barrel in Asia, kicking off a month which is likely to see demand for the fuel plummet further at a time when the world’s top exporters are pumping more in a damaging battle for market share.

Futures in New York fell 1.4%, after gaining 1.9% on Tuesday. Crude has just had its worst quarter on record, tumbling 66% as the spread of coronavirus crushed demand and Saudi Arabia and Russia embarked on a price war that has flooded the market with supply. Daily consumption could drop by as much as 22 million barrels in April from a year earlier, according to estimates from some of the world’s most influential energy analysts.

Saudi Arabia is following through on its pledge to ramp up oil exports in April, with a first wave of crude already on its way toward Europe and the U.S., according to ship-tracking data. The extra supply is hitting a market that simply has no need for it, as lockdowns suppress activity across Europe and North America, meaning the world will run out of space to store oil by the middle of the year, according to industry consultant IHS Markit.

U.S. crude stockpiles were said to have ballooned by 10.5 million barrels last week, according to traders citing the American Petroleum Institute report, with a 2.93 million-barrel gain in Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point of the U.S. crude futures contract. If confirmed by U.S. Energy Information Administration data on Wednesday, the nationwide crude build would be the biggest since February 2017.
