據今日油價6月10日報道,美國能源信息署公布,截至6月5日當周,美國原油庫存增加570萬桶,燃料庫存增加,原油價格加速下跌。
此前,美國石油學會(American Petroleum Institute)報告稱,原油庫存增加了842萬桶,導致油價在上漲幾天后大幅下跌。分析師原本預計EIA將公布上周庫存減少145萬桶。一周前,EIA曾報告稱原油庫存下降至210萬桶。
在汽油方面,EIA報告稱,截至6月5日的當周庫存增加了90萬桶,低于一周前的280萬桶。上周汽油平均日產量為810萬桶,一周前為780萬桶。
在餾分燃料方面,庫存上周增加160萬桶,一周前大幅增加了990萬桶。餾分油平均日產量為480萬桶,一周前為470萬桶。
上周煉油廠開工率上升至平均1350萬桶/天。相比之下,一周前為1330萬桶/天。產能利用率平均為73.1%,而一周前為71.8%。
在API預計的庫存量令交易員震驚之前,由于市場有望很快重新平衡,石油價格呈上漲趨勢。不過,有消息稱,美國石油生產商正在恢復生產,且擔心一些中東產油國,尤其是伊拉克的產量將繼續超過歐佩克+配額的要求,因此市場面臨下行壓力。
截至發稿時,布倫特原油價格為每桶40.40美元,西德克薩斯中質原油價格為每桶38.10美元,與開盤時相比均下跌了約兩個百分點。
與此同時,挪威咨詢公司Rystad Energy警告稱,大幅減產可能導致石油持續短缺,最早將于本月開始。這可能會給價格帶來一些上行助力,尤其是在需求方面出現更多正面消息的情況下。

Oil Prices Fall As EIA Confirms Crude Inventory Build
Crude oil prices accelerated their fall today after the Energy Information Administration reported a rise in U.S. crude oil inventories of 5.7 million barrels for the week to June 5 and an increase in fuel inventories.
A day earlier, the American Petroleum Institute reported a crude oil inventory build of 8.42 million barrels, which caused prices to dive after several days of gains. Analysts had expected the EIA to report an inventory decline of 1.45 million barrels for last week. A week earlier, the EIA reported a decline in crude oil inventories, at 2.1 million barrels.
In gasoline, the authority reported an inventory increase of 900,000 barrels for the week to June 5, down from a build of 2.8 million barrels a week earlier. Gasoline production last week averaged 8.1 million bpd, compared with 7.8 million bpd a week earlier.
In distillate fuels, inventories went up by 1.6 million barrels last week, which compared with a hefty 9.9-million-barrel increase a week earlier. Distillate fuel production averaged 4.8 million barrels daily, compared with 4.7 million bpd a week earlier.
Refinery runs rose last week, to average 13.5 million bpd. This compared with 13.3 million bpd a week earlier. Capacity utilization averaged 73.1 percent, compared with 71.8 percent a week earlier.
Before the API shocked traders with its estimated inventory build, oil was trending higher on hopes the market would soon rebalance. However, there was downward pressure following news that U.S. producers were restarting production and worry that some Middle East producers, notably Iraq, will continue to produce more than their OPEC+ quota calls for.
At the time of writing, Brent crude was trading at $40.40 a barrel, with West Texas Intermediate at $38.10 a barrel, both down by about two percentage points from opening today.
Meanwhile, Norwegian consultancy Rystad Energy warned that deep production cuts could lead to a lasting deficit of oil, beginning as soon as this month. This could provide some upward pressure for prices especially if it is coupled with more positive news on the demand side.
