歐佩克舉行減產(chǎn)談判之前油價(jià)走高

據(jù)CNBC網(wǎng)站4月8日消息，周三油價(jià)穩(wěn)定在32美元/桶附近，原因是人們希望歐佩克成員國(guó)和聯(lián)合生產(chǎn)國(guó)周四的會(huì)議會(huì)引發(fā)減產(chǎn)，以支撐因疫情影響而暴跌的油價(jià)。

歐佩克與包括俄羅斯在內(nèi)的盟友將于周四舉行視頻會(huì)議，預(yù)計(jì)比3月份的會(huì)議更成功，3月份的會(huì)議以延長(zhǎng)供應(yīng)削減的失敗和沙特阿拉伯與俄羅斯之間的價(jià)格戰(zhàn)而告終。

“即將到來(lái)的非同尋常的生產(chǎn)國(guó)會(huì)議是市場(chǎng)前景的唯一希望，”雷斯塔能源公司的Bjornar Tonhaugen說(shuō)?！皼](méi)有人想在歐佩克++可能帶來(lái)的‘積極驚喜’之前做空?！?/span>

布倫特原油上漲9美分，至每桶31.93美元，周二下跌3.6%。美國(guó)西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油上漲78美分，漲幅3.3%，至每桶24.42美元。

由于疫情影響和供應(yīng)過(guò)剩導(dǎo)致需求下滑，原油價(jià)格在2020年暴跌。3月30日，布倫特原油價(jià)格跌至21.65美元，為2002年以來(lái)的最低點(diǎn)。

盡管歐佩克消息人士說(shuō)，減產(chǎn)協(xié)議取決于美國(guó)的參與，但外界仍對(duì)華盛頓是否會(huì)做出貢獻(xiàn)表示懷疑。

美國(guó)能源部周二表示，在沒(méi)有政府行動(dòng)的情況下，美國(guó)產(chǎn)出已經(jīng)在下降。

美國(guó)能源信息管理局(EIA)周二稱，美國(guó)原油產(chǎn)量預(yù)計(jì)將下降47萬(wàn)桶/日，2020年需求將下降約130萬(wàn)桶/日。

行業(yè)組織美國(guó)石油協(xié)會(huì)(American Petroleum Institute)表示，美國(guó)原油庫(kù)存激增1,190萬(wàn)桶，這是供應(yīng)過(guò)剩的一個(gè)跡象。

Oil moves higher ahead of OPEC-led talks on output cuts

Oil steadied near $32 a barrel on Wednesday, supported by hopes that a meeting between OPEC members and allied producers on Thursday will trigger output cuts to shore up prices that have collapsed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Thursday’s videoconference meeting between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia is expected to be more successful than their gathering in March, which ended in a failure to extend supply cuts and a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia.

“The coming extraordinary producing-countries meeting is the only hope on the horizon for the market,” said Bjornar Tonhaugen of Rystad Energy. “Nobody wants to go short ahead of what could be a ‘positive surprise’ by OPEC++.”

Brent crude gained 9 cents to trade at $31.93 per barrel, after falling 3.6% on Tuesday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 78 cents, or 3.3%, to trade at $24.42 per barrel.

Crude has collapsed in 2020 because of a slide in demand due to the coronavirus outbreak and excess supply. Brent dropped to $21.65, its lowest since 2002, on March 30.

While OPEC sources have said a deal to cut production is conditional on the participation of the United States, doubts remain as to whether Washington will contribute.

The U.S. Department of Energy said on Tuesday U.S. output was already declining, without government action.

U.S. crude production is expected to slump by 470,000 bpd and demand is set to drop by about 1.3 million bpd in 2020, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Tuesday.

In a sign of excess supply, the American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, said U.S. crude inventories jumped by 11.9 million barrels.
