美國石油庫存下降 油價回升

據(jù)路透社9月2日報道，油價周三升至每桶46美元，這是連續(xù)第三天上漲，受美國原油庫存下降的數(shù)據(jù)支撐，且調(diào)查顯示制造業(yè)走強提升了市場對從冠狀病毒疫情中復(fù)蘇的希望。

美國石油學(xué)會(API)稱，美國原油庫存減少640萬桶，降幅超過預(yù)期。世界各地的制造業(yè)調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)顯示，8月份制造業(yè)活動擴張，盡管前景仍然不穩(wěn)定。

格林尼治標準時間09：11，全球基準布倫特原油LCOc1上漲37美分，至每桶45.95美元，漲幅為0.8%，只是連續(xù)第三天上漲。美國西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油價格上漲34美分，至每桶43.10美元，漲幅為0.8%。

石油經(jīng)紀商PVM斯蒂芬?布倫諾克(Stephen Brennock)表示:“市場參與者目前正受益于一波樂觀情緒，盡管這種情緒隨時可能崩潰。”

美國原油庫存預(yù)計將減少190萬桶。美國能源信息署(Energy Information Administration)將于格林尼治標準時間14：30發(fā)布官方數(shù)據(jù)，人們將仔細查看這些數(shù)據(jù)是否與API的數(shù)據(jù)吻合。

經(jīng)紀商OANDA分析師杰弗里?哈雷(Jeffrey Halley)表示，EIA數(shù)據(jù)可能會帶來一些短期波動，但不太可能提供足夠的動力，推動油價突破近期的交易區(qū)間。

油價已從4月觸及的歷史低點反彈，當(dāng)時布蘭特原油跌至每桶16美元下方的21年來低點，美國原油價格也跌至負值，幸好歐佩克+創(chuàng)紀錄的減產(chǎn)支撐了油價。

路透社周二調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，隨著需求部分復(fù)蘇，且歐佩克+ 8月份將日產(chǎn)量提高約100萬桶，產(chǎn)油國已開始向市場恢復(fù)部分原油的供應(yīng)。

Oil rises to $46 on U.S. inventory drop, economy hopes

Oil rose to $46 a barrel on Wednesday, gaining for a third day, supported by a report that U.S. crude inventories fell and as surveys showing stronger manufacturing raised hopes of a recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

U.S. crude stocks fell by 6.4 million barrels, the American Petroleum Institute (API) said, more than forecast.

Manufacturing surveys around the world showed expanding activity in August, although the outlook remains shaky.

Brent crude LCOc1, the global benchmark, was up 37 cents, or 0.8%, to $45.95 a barrel as of 0911 GMT, climbing for a third day. U.S. West Texas Intermediate CLc1 rose 34 cents, or 0.8%, to $43.10.

“Market players are currently riding a wave of optimism, though it could come crashing down at any moment,” said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM.

U.S. crude inventories were forecast to fall by 1.9 million barrels.

The U.S. government’s Energy Information Administration issues its official figures at 1430 GMT, which will be scrutinised to see if they confirm the API’s numbers.

The EIA figures “may provide some short-term volatility but are unlikely to provide enough impetus to break oil out of its recent trading ranges,” said Jeffrey Halley, analyst at broker OANDA.

Oil has recovered from historic lows hit in April, when Brent slumped to a 21-year low below $16 and U.S. crude went negative.

A record supply cut by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, a grouping known as OPEC+, has helped support prices.

The producers have begun to return some crude to the market as demand partially recovers and OPEC in August raised output by about 1 million barrels per day (bpd), a Reuters survey found on Tuesday.
