美國(guó)原油庫(kù)存意外增加 油價(jià)走軟

據(jù)路透社9月23日?qǐng)?bào)道，美國(guó)原油庫(kù)存意外增加，加上全球冠狀病毒病例增多，引發(fā)市場(chǎng)對(duì)需求停滯的擔(dān)憂(yōu)，受此打壓，周三油價(jià)跌破每桶42美元。

美國(guó)石油學(xué)會(huì)(American Petroleum Institute)表示，上周，原油庫(kù)存增加了69.1萬(wàn)桶，而不是像分析師預(yù)測(cè)的那樣下降。美國(guó)能源信息署(Energy Information Administration)的官方庫(kù)存數(shù)據(jù)將于格林尼治標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時(shí)間14：30公布。

經(jīng)紀(jì)商O(píng)ANDA分析師杰弗里?哈雷(Jeffrey Halley)表示:“市場(chǎng)情緒仍然脆弱。預(yù)計(jì)庫(kù)存將減少230萬(wàn)桶。如果油價(jià)意外上漲，很可能引發(fā)原油價(jià)格再次下跌。”

格林尼治標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時(shí)間08：18，布倫特原油價(jià)格下跌1美分，至每桶41.71美元，較之前1.2%的跌幅有所回落。美國(guó)西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油期貨持平于每桶39.80美元。這兩種合約周一均下跌逾4%，但周二有所上漲。

經(jīng)紀(jì)商PVM的斯蒂芬?布倫諾克(Stephen Brennock)表示:“昨日的積極基調(diào)讓石油市場(chǎng)緩了一口氣。最近，由于新冠肺炎疫情日益加劇，需求前景受到了沉重打擊?！?/span>

由于疫情導(dǎo)致原油需求銳減，今年油價(jià)暴跌，布倫特原油價(jià)格在4月份跌至每桶16美元以下，為21年來(lái)的最低點(diǎn)。歐佩克+創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的減產(chǎn)幫助油價(jià)回升。

Oil weakens after unexpected U.S. crude inventory rise

Oil edged lower on Wednesday trading below $42 a barrel, pressured by a report that U.S. crude inventories unexpectedly rose and as growing numbers of coronavirus cases around the world raised concern of stalling demand.

The American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, said crude inventories rose by 691,000 barrels rather than falling as analysts forecast. Official inventory numbers from the Energy Information Administration are due at 1430 GMT.

“Sentiment remains fragile,” said Jeffrey Halley, analyst at broker OANDA. “Inventories are expected to fall by 2.3 million barrels. A surprise increase could well be enough to initiate another downward leg in crude prices.”

Brent crude LCOc1 fell 1 cent to $41.71 a barrel by 0818 GMT, paring an earlier 1.2% drop. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude CLc1 was unchanged at $39.80. Both contracts fell more than 4% on Monday, though they rose on Tuesday.

“Yesterday’s positive tone is pausing for breath,” said Stephen Brennock of broker PVM. “The outlook has taken a big knock of late amid the intensifying COVID pandemic.”

Surging infections in countries including India, France and Spain and new restrictions in Britain have renewed worries about demand, just as more supply may come onto the market from Libya. In the United States, the death toll from COVID-19 has passed 200,000, the world’s highest.
