欧佩克会议召开前油价趋稳

据路透社6月18日报道，油价周四基本稳定，布伦特原油在欧佩克成员国及其盟国开会前收复了欧洲早盘跌幅。在需求担忧的背景下，欧佩克成员国及其盟友将召开会议。

格林尼治时间07：25，布伦特原油期货上涨2美分，至每桶40.73美元。美国西德克萨斯中质原油期货CLc1下跌14美分，至每桶37.82美元。这两个基准股指在盘中早些时候都下跌了约2%。

AxiTrader市场策略师斯蒂芬?英尼斯(Stephen Innes)表示:“市场继续在重新放开的乐观情绪与围绕疫情二次爆发带来的经济不确定性的未知因素之间寻找平衡。”

美国原油库存连续第二周升至纪录高位，打压市场人气，但美国政府数据显示汽油和馏分油(包括柴油和取暖油)库存下降，显示需求上升。

预计欧佩克+在周四晚些时候举行一次线上会议，讨论创纪录的每日减产970万桶的协议未来走向。两名欧佩克消息人士周三表示，5月份欧佩克遵守原油减产遵守率达87%。

一名欧佩克消息人士称，伊拉克和哈萨克斯坦料将在周四召开的欧佩克+部长级委员会会议上提出减产计划和对生产过剩的补偿。

欧佩克在一份月度报告中警告称，尽管需求有所改善，但市场在2020年下半年仍将处于过剩状态，因为该组织目前预计，来自欧佩克以外国家的日产量将比此前预计的高出约30万桶。

Oil prices stable ahead of OPEC+ meeting

Oil prices were broadly stable on Thursday as Brent erased losses in early European trading ahead of a meeting of OPEC members and their allies against the backdrop of demand concerns over new coronavirus cases in China and elsewhere.

Brent crude LCOc1 futures were up 2 cents at $40.73 a barrel at 0725 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 futures dropped 14 cents to $37.82 a barrel.

Both benchmarks were down about 2% earlier in the session.

“The market continues to balance re-opening optimism with unknowns around the economic uncertainties from a secondary outbreak of the virus,” said Stephen Innes, market strategist at AxiTrader.

A rise in U.S. crude stockpiles to a record high for a second week in a row weighed on sentiment, but U.S. government data showed lower inventories of gasoline and distillates, which includes diesel and heating oil, indicating higher demand.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, a group known as OPEC+, are expected to hold an online meeting later on Thursday to discuss the future of a record 9.7 million barrels per day output cut.

OPEC+ compliance with crude production cut commitments in May was 87%, two OPEC+ sources said on Wednesday.

Iraq and Kazakhstan are expected to present their plans for production cuts and compensation for overproduction to a meeting of the OPEC+ ministerial committee, known as the JMMC, on Thursday, one OPEC+ source said.

OPEC warned in a monthly report the market would remain in surplus in the second half of 2020 even as demand improves, as it now expects supply from outside the group to be about 300,000 barrels per day higher than earlier thought.
