国际油价连续第二日反弹

据3月11日路透社报道，因市场预期美国生产商将减产，周三，油价连续第二日攀升，但当前形势严峻，油价涨势仍受限制。

截至格林威治时间4:18，布伦特原油期货LCOc1上涨1.26美元，至每桶38.48美元，涨幅为3.4%;美国西德克萨斯中质原油期货CLc1上涨0.91美元，至每桶35.27美元，涨幅为2.7%。周一，油价下跌25%，目前已经收复了近一半的跌幅。

在原油价格跌至三年多来的最低水平后，包括美国西方石油公司（OXY）在内的美国页岩油生产商进一步削减开支，可能导致产量下降。但外界对美国经济刺激方案的疑虑日益加深，令亚洲股市周三早些时候的涨势降温。

澳新银行(ANZ)在一份报告中表示:“原油价格的反弹预计不会持续太久，市场份额的争夺战将在很大程度上提高产量。”

Oil extends gains as U.S. output cut hopes grow

Oil prices climbed for a second day on Wednesday as hopes U.S. producers would cut output lent support, but gains were capped by growing doubts about Washington’s stimulus package to fight the coronavirus, which continues to spread globally.

Brent crude futures LCOc1 rose $1.26, or 3.4%, to $38.48 a barrel by 0418 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 gained $0.91, or 2.7%, to $35.27 a barrel.

They have recouped nearly a half of the Monday’s 25% loss, which was triggered by the clash of oil titans Saudi Arabia and Russia.

U.S. shale producers, including Occidental Petroleum (OXY.N), deepened spending cuts that could reduce production after crude prices slumped to their lowest levels in more than three years.

But growing scepticism about Washington’s stimulus package knocked the steam out of an earlier rally in Asian shares on Wednesday. [MKTS/GLOB]

“The rebound in crude oil is not expected to last long, with Saudi and Russia boasting about how much they can boost output by as the battle for market share begins,” ANZ said in a note.
