油價下跌但仍將創(chuàng)下多年來最大月度漲幅

據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)5月29日倫敦報道， 由于美國燃料需求疲軟以及擔(dān)心韓國第二波疫情，周五油價大幅下跌，但仍有望實現(xiàn)月度大幅上漲。

截至格林尼治時間0927,7月布倫特原油價格下跌1.16美元，跌幅3.3%，至每桶34.13美元，而更為活躍的8月合約價格下跌1.11美元，跌幅3.1%，至每桶34.92美元。美國西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油(WTI)下跌1.28美元，跌幅3.8%，至每桶32.43美元。

據(jù)分析師表示，由于減產(chǎn)和對中國主導(dǎo)的需求復(fù)蘇持樂觀態(tài)度，這兩份合約在連續(xù)幾周的漲幅后，出現(xiàn)首個周下降，將準(zhǔn)備迎接最大的月漲幅。

西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油5月份的月度漲幅有望達到72%的創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄水平，布倫特原油5月份的漲幅將達到35%，這將是自1999年3月以來的最大月度漲幅。

據(jù)美國能源情報署(Energy Information Administration)周四發(fā)布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，上周美國原油和餾分油庫存大幅上升。分析人士稱，盡管各國解除了為遏制疫情而實施的旅行限制，但燃料需求依然疲軟。

展望未來，貿(mào)易商將關(guān)注6月第二周石油輸出國組織(OPEC，簡稱:歐佩克)與包括俄羅斯在內(nèi)的盟國之間減產(chǎn)談判的結(jié)果。

沙特阿拉伯和一些歐佩克成員國正在考慮將創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的970萬桶/天減產(chǎn)期延長至6月以后，但尚未獲得俄羅斯的支持。

Crude oil prices fall but remains set for biggest monthly gain in years

Oil prices were dragged sharply lower on Friday by weak US fuel demand and fears of a second wave of coronavirus cases in South Korea , but were still on track for a hefty monthly gain.

July Brent crude fell $1.16, or 3.3 per cent, to $34.13 a barrel by 0927 GMT while the more active August contract fell $1.11, or 3.1 per cent, to $34.92. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was down $1.28, or 3.8 per cent, at $32.43.

Both contracts were on course for their first weekly loss after for consecutive weeks of gains that leave them set for the biggest monthly gains in years thanks to production cuts and optimism over Chinese-led demand recovery, analysts said.

WTI is on track for a record monthly gain of 72 per cent in May, with Brent set for a 35 per cent increase that would represent its strongest monthly rise since March 1999.

Thursday's data from the Energy Information Administration showed that US crude oil and distillate inventories rose sharply last week. Fuel demand remained slack even as various states lifted travel restrictions they had imposed to curb the coronavirus pandemic, analysts said.

Looking ahead, traders will be focusing on the outcome of talks on output cuts between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia, a group known as OPEC+, in the second week of June.

Saudi Arabia and some OPEC members are considering extending record production cuts of 9.7 million barrels per day beyond June, but have yet to win support from Russia.
