阿布扎比减产 布伦特原油价格升至五个月高位

据离岸工程网站8月31日消息 尽管全球需求在供应充足的市场上难以恢复到危机前的水平，但阿布扎比原油供应减少30%，中国数据令人鼓舞，周一油价上涨，布伦特原油价格触及五个月来的最高点。

截至格林威治标准时间08：53，11月布伦特原油期货价格上涨69美分，涨幅1.5%，至46.50美元/桶。美国西德克萨斯中质原油价格为43.48美元/桶，上涨51美分，涨幅1.2%。

布伦特原油价格将在8月底连续第五个月上涨，而WTI则有望实现第四个月涨幅，在8月26日飓风劳拉袭击时曾触及每桶43.78美元的五个月高点。

阿布扎比国家石油公司周一对其客户表示，将减少10月份供应量30%，高于9月份5%的降幅，这是阿拉伯联合酋长国政府的指示，以履行其对最近欧佩克+协议的承诺。

华侨银行经济学家Howie Lee表示：“随着需求逐渐复苏，这将使市场能够更好地消化今年早些时候的库存过剩。”

能源公司继续努力恢复风暴前关闭的美国海湾沿岸海上平台和炼油厂的运营。

分析师表示，美元疲弱以及周一的一项调查显示，中国服务业出人意料的强劲支撑了油价，尽管在冠状病毒大流行期间，燃料需求难以恢复，且供应依然充足。分析师提醒称，未来原油将面临种种障碍。

OANDA亚太区分析师Jeffrey Halley表示：“石油可能会缓慢走高，但近期供应充足，全球经济复苏脆弱，抑制了油价上涨。”

Brent Crude at Five-month High on Abu Dhabi Output Cuts

Oil rose on Monday, with Brent touching the highest in five months, underpinned by a 30% cut in Abu Dhabi crude supplies and encouraging Chinese data even as global demand struggles to return to pre-COVID levels in a well-supplied market.

Brent crude futures for November advanced to $46.50 a barrel by 0853 GMT up 69 cents, or 1.5%. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $43.48 a barrel, up 51 cents, or 1.2%.

Brent is set to close out August with a fifth successive monthly price rise while WTI is on track for a fourth monthly gain, having hit a five-month high of $43.78 a barrel on Aug. 26 when Hurricane Laura struck.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company told its customers on Monday that it will reduce October supplies by 30%, up from a 5% cut in September, as directed by the United Arab Emirates government to meet its commitment on the recent OPEC+ agreement.

"With demand gradually recovering, this will allow the market to better absorb the inventory glut from earlier this year," OCBC's economist Howie Lee said.

Energy companies continued efforts to restore operations at U.S. Gulf Coast offshore platforms and refineries shut before the storm.

A weak U.S. dollar and a survey on Monday showing surprisingly strength in China's services sector supported oil prices even though fuel demand has struggled to recover amid the coronavirus pandemic and supplies remain ample, analysts say, cautioning of hurdles for crude going forward.

"Oil is likely to slowly grind higher in modest steps, not explode out of the wellhead higher," OANDA's Asia-Pacific analyst Jeffrey Halley said, adding that abundant near-term supplies and the fragility of the global recovery tempered price gains.
