原油库存意外增加 油价下跌

据今日油价网站6月16日消息 美国石油学会（API）周二估计，截至6月12日当周，原油库存将再次增加385.7万桶。

分析师曾预测，库存将小幅下降15.2万桶。

前一周，在美国原油产量继续下降后，分析师们考虑到更为温和的因素，原油库存大幅飙升842万桶，令市场震惊。

尽管担心美国可能会出现第二波疫情，但在美国石油学会公布数据之前，WTI周二下午涨停。尽管存在这些担忧，但在大多数州，第二次关闭石油供应的可能性似乎不大，而这类关闭可能会阻碍对石油的进一步需求。

EIA的数据显示，目前美国石油产量已从3月13日的1310万桶/天降至6月5日的1110万桶/天，降幅为200万桶/天。

不过，虽然过去几个月美国石油产量每周都在下降，但5月中旬美国原油进口开始增加，而出口开始下降。

美国东部时间周二下午3：52，WTI基准指数当日上涨0.99美元（上涨2.67%），收于38.11美元/桶。布伦特原油价格周二也上涨了1.05美元（+2.64%），至40.77美元/桶，两个基准价格本周都在下跌。

美国石油协会还报告称，截至6月12日当周，美国原油库存增加426.7万桶，而上周下降2913桶。与分析师对本周1.7万桶下降的预期相比，本周的原油大涨。

与上周427.1万桶的库存涨幅相比，本周蒸馏油库存增加了91.9万桶，而库欣库存则减少了328.9万桶。

美国东部时间下午4：36，WTI收于38.14美元，布伦特收于40.79美元。

Oil Slips On Surprise Crude Build

The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated on Tuesday another build in crude oil inventories, this time of 3.857 million barrels for the week ending June 12.

Analysts had predicted a small inventory draw of 152,000 barrels.

In the previous week, the API shocked the market with a massive spike in crude oil inventories of 8.42 million barrels, after analysts had a far more benign draw in mind, after U.S. production continues to fall.

WTI was trading up on Tuesday afternoon prior to the API’s data release despite fears that the United States may see a second wave of Covid-19. Despite those fears, a second shutdown in most states—the likes of which could stymie further demand for oil—seems unlikely.

Oil production in the United States has now fallen from 13.1 million bpd on March 13 to 11.1 million bpd for June 5, according to the Energy Information Administration—a drop of 2 million bpd.

But while U.S. production has fallen each week for the last few months, U.S. imports of crude oil started to increase mid-May, while exports started to fall.

At 3:52 pm EDT on Tuesday the WTI benchmark was trading up on the day by $0.99 (+2.67%) at $38.11. The price of a Brent barrel was trading up on Tuesday as well, by $1.05 (+2.64%), at $40.77—both benchmarks are trading down on the week.

The API also reported a build of 4.267 million barrels of gasoline for week ending June 12—compared to last week’s 2.913-barrel draw. This week’s large build compares to analyst expectations for a 17,000-barrel draw for the week.

Distillate inventories were up by 919,000 barrels for the week, compared to last week’s 4.271-million-barrel build, while Cushing inventories saw a draw of 3.289 million barrels.

At 4:36 pm EDT, WTI was trading at $38.14 while Brent was trading at $40.79.
