美國(guó)石油需求8月繼續(xù)增長(zhǎng)

據(jù)Oil & Gas Journal網(wǎng)站9月18日?qǐng)?bào)道 美國(guó)石油協(xié)會(huì)（API）的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，美國(guó)8月份石油需求增加，供應(yīng)減少。墨西哥灣沿岸的煉油廠、石化廠和出口碼頭應(yīng)對(duì)了颶風(fēng)勞拉造成的季節(jié)性中斷。

當(dāng)月原油和成品油出口增加、進(jìn)口下降，這些基本面因素加在一起，導(dǎo)致原油庫(kù)存下降（但成品油庫(kù)存增加）和價(jià)格上漲，目前經(jīng)濟(jì)前景已經(jīng)普遍好轉(zhuǎn)。

API: US petroleum demand continued to increase in August

US petroleum demand increased in August, and supply decreased, while Gulf Coast refineries, petrochemical plants, and export terminals coped with seasonal disruptions due to Hurricane Laura, according to the American Petroleum Institute data.

Crude oil and refined product exports increased during the month, while imports fell. Together these fundamentals contributed to lower crude oil stocks (but higher refined product inventories) and higher prices against an economic backdrop that has broadly improved.
