原油庫存意外增加 油價下跌

據(jù)今日油價網(wǎng)站6月16日消息 美國石油學會（API）周二估計，截至6月12日當周，原油庫存將再次增加385.7萬桶。

分析師曾預測，庫存將小幅下降15.2萬桶。

前一周，在美國原油產量繼續(xù)下降后，分析師們考慮到更為溫和的因素，原油庫存大幅飆升842萬桶，令市場震驚。

盡管擔心美國可能會出現(xiàn)第二波疫情，但在美國石油學會公布數(shù)據(jù)之前，WTI周二下午漲停。盡管存在這些擔憂，但在大多數(shù)州，第二次關閉石油供應的可能性似乎不大，而這類關閉可能會阻礙對石油的進一步需求。

EIA的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，目前美國石油產量已從3月13日的1310萬桶/天降至6月5日的1110萬桶/天，降幅為200萬桶/天。

不過，雖然過去幾個月美國石油產量每周都在下降，但5月中旬美國原油進口開始增加，而出口開始下降。

美國東部時間周二下午3：52，WTI基準指數(shù)當日上漲0.99美元（上漲2.67%），收于38.11美元/桶。布倫特原油價格周二也上漲了1.05美元（+2.64%），至40.77美元/桶，兩個基準價格本周都在下跌。

美國石油協(xié)會還報告稱，截至6月12日當周，美國原油庫存增加426.7萬桶，而上周下降2913桶。與分析師對本周1.7萬桶下降的預期相比，本周的原油大漲。

與上周427.1萬桶的庫存漲幅相比，本周蒸餾油庫存增加了91.9萬桶，而庫欣庫存則減少了328.9萬桶。

美國東部時間下午4：36，WTI收于38.14美元，布倫特收于40.79美元。

Oil Slips On Surprise Crude Build

The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated on Tuesday another build in crude oil inventories, this time of 3.857 million barrels for the week ending June 12.

Analysts had predicted a small inventory draw of 152,000 barrels.

In the previous week, the API shocked the market with a massive spike in crude oil inventories of 8.42 million barrels, after analysts had a far more benign draw in mind, after U.S. production continues to fall.

WTI was trading up on Tuesday afternoon prior to the API’s data release despite fears that the United States may see a second wave of Covid-19. Despite those fears, a second shutdown in most states—the likes of which could stymie further demand for oil—seems unlikely.

Oil production in the United States has now fallen from 13.1 million bpd on March 13 to 11.1 million bpd for June 5, according to the Energy Information Administration—a drop of 2 million bpd.

But while U.S. production has fallen each week for the last few months, U.S. imports of crude oil started to increase mid-May, while exports started to fall.

At 3:52 pm EDT on Tuesday the WTI benchmark was trading up on the day by $0.99 (+2.67%) at $38.11. The price of a Brent barrel was trading up on Tuesday as well, by $1.05 (+2.64%), at $40.77—both benchmarks are trading down on the week.

The API also reported a build of 4.267 million barrels of gasoline for week ending June 12—compared to last week’s 2.913-barrel draw. This week’s large build compares to analyst expectations for a 17,000-barrel draw for the week.

Distillate inventories were up by 919,000 barrels for the week, compared to last week’s 4.271-million-barrel build, while Cushing inventories saw a draw of 3.289 million barrels.

At 4:36 pm EDT, WTI was trading at $38.14 while Brent was trading at $40.79.
