美國原油價格創(chuàng)下六月以來最大單周漲幅

據(jù)外匯日報(bào)9約18日消息：由于石油鉆井平臺數(shù)量連續(xù)第二周下降，原油期貨上漲，從而結(jié)束了本周的交易。受墨西哥灣供應(yīng)中斷和歐佩克可能減產(chǎn)的影響，美國原油價格有望創(chuàng)下6月以來最佳單周表現(xiàn)。

周五格林威治標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時間18:41時，紐約商品交易所10月西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油期貨上漲0.12美元，漲幅0.29%，至每桶41.09美元。美國原油價格有望每周飆升10%，將今年迄今的跌幅降至33%以下。

國際油價基準(zhǔn)布倫特在交易周結(jié)束時走低。倫敦洲際交易所11月布倫特原油期貨下跌0.15美元，至每桶43.15美元，跌幅0.35%。布倫特原油也將出現(xiàn)約8%的周漲幅。今年以來，布倫特原油下跌35%。

據(jù)貝克休斯稱，截至9月18日的一周，石油鉆井平臺數(shù)量為179個，低于前一周的180個。這是原油鉆井平臺數(shù)量連續(xù)第二周下降。也是一個多月來石油鉆機(jī)數(shù)量首次低于180臺。不過，鉆機(jī)總數(shù)從254個小幅上升到255個。

他在周四的部長級聯(lián)合監(jiān)測委員會會議上發(fā)表了上述評論，該會議正式延長了未能正確限制產(chǎn)量的國家的期限。上個月，歐佩克將產(chǎn)量凍結(jié)從每天的970萬桶降至770萬桶。

盡管此次會議引發(fā)了爭議，但分析師認(rèn)為，該組織不會將產(chǎn)量削減至每天580萬桶，此舉將使全球原油市場的日產(chǎn)量再增加200萬桶。

其他能源大宗商品方面，10月天然氣期貨上漲0.022美元，至每百萬英熱2.064美元，漲幅1.08%；汽油期貨上漲0.0092美元，至每加侖1.2336美元，漲幅0.75%；取暖油期貨下跌0.0032美元，至每加侖1.1567美元，跌幅0.28%。

US Crude Adds to Best Weekly Gain Since June As Oil Rig Count Dips

Crude oil futures are rising to finish the trading week as the oil rig count fell for the second straight week. US crude prices are on track for their best weekly performance since June, driven primarily on supply disruptions in the Gulf Coast and potential output reductions among the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Can oil prices sustain the momentum and remain trading above $40 a barrel?

October West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose $0.12, or 0.29%, to $41.09 per barrel at 18:41 GMT on Friday on the New York Mercantile Exchange. US crude prices are poised for a weekly spike of 10%, paring their year-to-date losses to below 33%.

Brent, the international benchmark for oil prices, is lower at the end of the trading week. November Brent crude futures slipped $0.15, or 0.35%, to $43.15 per barrel on London’s ICE Futures exchange. Brent will also post a weekly jump of about 8%. So far this year, Brent is down 35%.

According to Baker Hughes, the oil rig count came in at 179 for the week ending September 18, down from 180 in the previous week. This is the second consecutive week of the number of crude oil rigs falling. This is also the first time in more than a month that the oil rig count was below 180. The total rig count, however, edged up from 254 to 255.

He made the comments during a Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee meeting Thursday, which officially extended the period for countries that failed to limit output correctly. Last month, OPEC relaxed the output freeze from 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) to 7.7 million bpd.

Despite the contentious meeting, analysts believe that the cartel will refrain from curtailing production cuts to 5.8 million bpd, a move that would add another two million bpd to the global crude market.

In other energy commodities, October natural gas futures picked up $0.022, or 1.08%, to $2.064 per million British thermal units (btu). October gasoline futures edged up $0.0092, or 0.75%, to $1.2336 per gallon. October heating oil futures dipped $0.0032, or 0.28%, to $1.1567 a gallon.
