沙特提高全球原油售价 布伦特油价飙升

据世界石油5月7日伦敦报道，在沙特提高全球炼油商的价格后，石油价格上涨。

伦敦原油期货上涨7.1%，超过每桶31美元，美国原油期货上涨10%。国营的沙特阿美公司在今年早些时候通过提供原油价格的大幅折扣，发起了一场价格战。该公司已经上调了6月份所有等级的原油价格。与此同时，沙特及其欧佩克伙伴正着手大幅减产，以重新平衡供过于求的市场。

荷兰银行(ABN Amro)高级能源经济学家Hans van Cleef表示:“阿美石油公司提出的更高价格暗示需求回升，并暗示欧佩克+实际上已开始减产以平衡市场。”

5月1日，包括俄罗斯在内的欧佩克+联盟开始实施每日近1000万桶的减产措施。在此之前，由于需求受到疫情的打击，石油库存出现了创纪录的增长。美国和中国都出现了消费复苏的初步迹象，沙特阿美的定价是需求开始再次增长的最明确信号。

截至伦敦时间上午11点53分，布伦特7月份原油期货结算价上涨1.77美元，至每桶31.49美元，涨幅6%。

西德克萨斯中质原油上涨8.6%，至每桶26.05美元。

对全球石油消费受到冲击的预测各不相同，一些人估计每天消耗量将减少逾3,000万桶，占需求的30%。尽管如此，最近几天从波兰到德国和佛罗里达州都有报告称，燃料需求，尤其是汽油需求开始回升。

沙特石油定价方面的一些重大举措是针对欧洲和地中海炼油厂的，这些炼油厂是俄罗斯原油的主要市场。上月，沙特和俄罗斯同意作为欧佩克+联盟的成员再次合作，这似乎是对俄罗斯政府的认可。根据价格表，这些地区6月份的价格上涨了5.80美元至7.50美元。

瑞银集团(UBS Group AG)大宗商品分析师 Giovanni Staunovo表示:“油价上涨表明，作为欧佩克协议的一部分，沙特阿拉伯不仅会减产，还将通过提高油价来减少原油出口。”

Brent crude jumps as Saudis raise selling price worldwide

Oil jumped after Saudi Arabia raised prices for refiners globally.

Futures in London added as much as 7.1%, moving beyond $31 a barrel, while U.S. crude futures rose 10%. State-run Saudi Aramco, which earlier this year initiated a price war by offering massive discounts on crude, has raised prices on all the grades for June. The move comes as the kingdom and its OPEC+ partners embark on sharp production cuts in a bid to rebalance a glutted market.

“The higher prices by Aramco suggest a recovery of demand and a hint that OPEC+ actually started to cut production in their aim to balance the market,” said Hans van Cleef, senior energy economist at ABN Amro.

The OPEC+ coalition that includes Russia started implementing daily output cuts of almost 10 million barrels a day on May 1. The move follows a record build-up in inventories as demand was ravaged by the coronavirus outbreak that has seen oil tanks filling up globally. There have been tentative signs of a recovery in consumption in both the U.S. and China, and Aramco’s pricing is the clearest signal yet that demand is starting to grow again.

Brent for July settlement added $1.77, or 6% to $31.49 a barrel as of 11:53 a.m. London time.

West Texas Intermediate rose 8.6% to $26.05 a barrel.

Forecasts of the hit to global oil consumption have varied widely, with some estimates topping 30 million barrels a day, or 30% of demand. Still, in recent days there have been reports from Poland to Germany and Florida that demand for fuel -- particularly gasoline -- is starting to pick up.

Some of the biggest moves in Saudi oil pricing came for European and Mediterranean refineries, the main market for Russia crude, in what appears to be a nod to the Kremlin after Riyadh and Moscow agreed last month to work together again as part of the OPEC+ alliance. Prices in those regions were hiked by between $5.80 and $7.50 for June, according to the price list.

“The price increase suggests Saudi Arabia will not just cut their production as part of the OPEC deal, but also reduce their crude exports by making them more expensive,” said Giovanni Staunovo, commodity analyst at UBS Group AG.
