原油库存攀升 油价徘徊在64美元

据世界石油网站3月10日报道 在美国石油储备数据公布之前，石油在涨跌之间反弹。

周三纽约期货价格攀升，扭转了早些时候的跌势。美国石油协会报告称，上周原油库存增加，而汽油库存下降。

不过，市场仍有疲软迹象。WTI最近的时差在周二短暂地抹去了所有的交割延期费，这表明了市场的紧张。美国政府的一份报告称，由于石油生产商利用价格回升的机会，预计明年美国页岩地区的石油产量将攀升。

最近几周，石油市场的波动性也在攀升。尽管如此，原油价格今年仍上涨了30%以上，此前随着市场收紧，原油价格周一触及多年高点。沙特阿拉伯和欧佩克+的减产以及Covid-19疫苗推出后需求前景的改善都有助于股市上涨，而在沙特阿拉伯最近几天遭受攻击后，政治风险正在卷土重来。

瑞典北欧安银行首席大宗商品分析师Bjarne Schieldrop表示：“今年5月，全球石油库存可能已经恢复正常，欧佩克+使今年的市场比我们预期的要紧得多。”

油价：

伦敦时间上午7:59，西德克萨斯中质原油价格上涨0.6%，至每桶64.42美元；

布伦特5月份结算价上涨0.4%，至67.82美元/桶。

Oil prices hover near $64 as crude inventories climb

Oil bounced between gains and losses before data on U.S. oil stockpiles due later.

Futures in New York crept higher on Wednesday, reversing an earlier decline. The American Petroleum Institute reported crude inventories rose last week, while gasoline stockpiles fell, according to people familiar.

Still, there are signs of weakness in the market. WTI’s nearest timespread briefly erased all of its backwardation -- a structure that indicates tightness -- on Tuesday. Oil production across American shale patches next year is expected to climb as producers take advantage of a price recovery, according to a government report.

Oil market volatility has also been creeping higher in recent weeks. Still, crude is up more than 30% this year, after hitting a multiyear high on Monday as the market tightens. Output cuts from Saudi Arabia and OPEC+, and an improving demand outlook with the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines have both aided the rally, while political risks are returning after an attack on Saudi Arabia in recent days.

“Global oil inventories could be back to normal already in May this year,” said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at SEB AB. “OPEC+ is keeping the market much tighter this year than we had expected.”

Prices:

West Texas Intermediate climbed 0.6% to $64.42 barrel at 7:59 a.m. London time

Brent for May settlement rose 0.4% to $67.82
