据今日油价9月20日报道,随着油价开始下跌,沙特阿拉伯加大了声明力度,甚至警告卖空者不要做空大宗商品价格。
据彭博社报道,沙特能源大臣阿卜杜勒-阿齐兹·本·萨勒曼王子周四“明确暗示”,随着油价继续下滑,沙特可能会改变生产政策的方向。
他表示:“我们绝不会让这个市场变得无人看管。我希望交易商们尽可能地保持紧张状态。我要确保的是,任何在这个市场上赌博的人都需要考虑清楚后果。”与此同时,布伦特原油价格跌至每桶40美元以下,市场继续显示出需求下降的迹象。欧佩克+表示,应对不断下跌的油价,他们将“先发制人”,建议参与国采取进一步必要措施。
周四,阿卜杜勒阿齐兹召开了一次会议,彭博社称,此次会议“强烈谴责”了供应过剩的石油生产国。其中,阿联酋是“最糟糕的配额破坏者之一”,八月份只完成了配额的10%的减产量。
阿联酋8月份的日产量过剩约52万桶,该国将试图在10月和11月进一步减产,以弥补上月的不足。伊拉克和尼日利亚等国已经执行了超过100%的减产要求。

Saudi Prince Warns Short Sellers Not To Bet Against Oil
As the price of oil begins to falter, Saudi Arabia has stepped up its rhetoric, even going as far as to warn short sellers not to bet against the price of the commodity.
Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman gave "clear hints" on Thursday that there could be a change of direction in production policy forthcoming as the price of oil continues its slide, according to Bloomberg.
He said Thursday: “We will never leave this market unattended. I want the guys in the trading floors to be as jumpy as possible. I’m going to make sure whoever gambles on this market will be ouching like hell.” At the same time, Brent was falling below $40 per barrel and the market continues to show signs of waning demand. OPEC and its allies said they would be "proactive and preemptive" in addressing the diminishing price, recommending "participating counties take further necessary measures".
Abdulaziz started a meeting on Thursday with what Bloomberg called a "forceful condemnation" of members who are pumping out too much supply. His ire may have been directed to UAE Energy Minister Suhail al Mazrouei, who attended the meeting. The UAE has been "one of the worst quota breakers" in OPEC+, only making 10% of its pledged cuts for August.
UAE was overproducing by about 520,000 barrels per day in August and the country will try to make additional cuts in October and November to make up for past month shortcomings.
Countries like Iraq and Nigeria have implemented more than 100% of their required cuts, helping give OPEC and Abdulaziz credibility.
