油價(jià)扭轉(zhuǎn)了部分跌幅 但需求擔(dān)憂依然存在

據(jù)路透社9月9日?qǐng)?bào)道，石油期貨收復(fù)了前一交易日的部分損失，但一些國(guó)家新冠肺炎病例的反彈，削弱了全球需求穩(wěn)步復(fù)蘇的希望。

格林尼治標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時(shí)間07：52，布倫特原油LCOc1上漲44美分，漲幅為1.1%，至每桶40.22美元。周二，布倫特原油自6月以來首次跌破每桶40美元，跌幅超過5%。美國(guó)原油期貨CLc1上漲50美分，至每桶37.26美元，漲幅為1.4%，前一交易日下跌近8%。兩大主要石油基準(zhǔn)價(jià)格均接近3個(gè)月低點(diǎn)。

隨著印度、英國(guó)、西班牙和美國(guó)部分地區(qū)冠狀病毒病例的增加，全球健康危機(jī)繼續(xù)蔓延。疫情可能會(huì)減緩全球經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇，并減少對(duì)從航空燃油到柴油等各種燃料的需求。

摩根士丹利表示，短期石油市場(chǎng)基本面看起來十分疲軟，需求復(fù)蘇脆弱，庫存和閑置產(chǎn)能高企，煉油利潤(rùn)率低。不過，由于美元走軟和通脹預(yù)期上升，該行將2021年下半年布倫特原油價(jià)格預(yù)期略微上調(diào)至每桶50美元。

歐佩克及其盟友創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的減產(chǎn)支撐了油價(jià)，但由于幾乎每天都有嚴(yán)峻的經(jīng)濟(jì)數(shù)據(jù)公布，石油需求的前景依然黯淡。

Oil prices reverse some losses but demand concerns persist

Oil futures clawed back some of the losses they sustained in the previous session, but a rebound in COVID-19 cases in some countries undermined hopes for a steady recovery in global demand.

Brent crude LCOc1 was up 44 cents, or 1.1%, at $40.22 a barrel by 0752 GMT after dropping more than 5% on Tuesday to fall below $40 a barrel for the first time since June.

U.S. crude CLc1 was up 50 cents, or 1.4%, at $37.26 a barrel, having fallen nearly 8% in the previous session.

Both major oil benchmarks are trading close to three-month lows.

The global health crisis continues to flare with coronavirus cases rising in India, Great Britain, Spain and several parts of the United States.

The outbreaks are threatening to slow a global economic recovery and reduce demand for fuels from aviation gas to diesel.

“Short-term oil market fundamentals look soft: the demand recovery is fragile, inventories and spare capacity are high, and refining margins are low,” Morgan Stanley said.

Yet, the bank raised its Brent price forecast slightly higher to $50 a barrel for the second half of 2021 with the dollar weakening and rising inflation expectations, it said.

Record supply cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as OPEC+ have helped support prices, but with grim economic figures being reported almost daily, the outlook for demand for oil remains bleak.
