據(jù)世界石油4月14日報道，巴西燃料分銷商Petrobras Distribuidora SA首席執(zhí)行官格里索里亞(Rafael Grisolia)對路透表示，該公司的汽油和乙醇需求大幅下降。燃料銷售量此前降幅達60%，最近幾天略有回升，但需求較疫情爆發(fā)前下降了30-35%。

沙特阿拉伯和其他海灣產(chǎn)油國已同意從下個月開始再次減產(chǎn)，種種跡象表明，在那之前，石油供應口將繼續(xù)敞開大門，未來幾個星期，原油庫存將繼續(xù)有所增加。

根據(jù)彭博社制的油輪跟蹤數(shù)據(jù)顯示，沙特4月份迄今的原油出口量為每日930萬桶。相比之下， 3月份前兩周的日產(chǎn)量為680萬桶。此外，未來幾天至少有10艘超級油輪將在沙特拉斯塔努拉(Ras Tanura) 港口等待裝載2000萬桶石油。

沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司(Saudi Aramco) 4月份承諾將日產(chǎn)量提高至1230萬桶，并大幅降價以爭奪市場份額。3月份，為期三年的歐佩克+協(xié)議破裂。隨著需求的下滑，價格也進一步下跌。

繼上周末馬拉松式的國際談判之后，現(xiàn)在達成了一項限制產(chǎn)量的全球新協(xié)議，沙特阿拉伯同意在5月和6月將日產(chǎn)量削減至850萬桶。目前還沒有跡象表明，生產(chǎn)商們會在5月前減少供應，這意味著每天有數(shù)百萬桶的過剩原油進入市場。

沙特石油部長阿卜杜勒-阿齊茲?本?薩勒曼在周一的電話會議上對記者表示:“歐佩克+新協(xié)議將從5月份開始落實?！?/span>

換句話說，目前價格戰(zhàn)仍在繼續(xù)。到目前為止，市場還沒有被預期的減產(chǎn)所打動。截至周二倫敦時間下午5點50分，全球基準布倫特原油價格下跌5.4%，至每桶30美元左右。周一，新協(xié)議達成后的第一天，期貨價格僅上漲0.8%。

另一項衡量指標——交易員在現(xiàn)貨市場上購買實際原油的官方售價表明，沙特阿拉伯仍在尋求擴大市場份額。4月份的官方售價（OSPs）已經(jīng)處于至少30年來的最低水平。沙特昨日公布了5月份的價格，加大了對多數(shù)市場的降價幅度，尤其是亞洲市場，降價幅度大于預期。

Brazilian fuel distributor Petrobras Distribuidora SA, better known by its BR Distribuidora brand name, has seen demand for gasoline and ethanol plummet during the new coronavirus outbreak, its chief executive officer told Reuters.

CEO Rafael Grisolia said the company’s sales for those fuels initially fell 60% after the arrival of the disease in Brazil, and in recent days has recovered slightly with demand down 30-35%, compared to levels prior to the outbreak.

Saudi Arabia and other Gulf suppliers may have agreed to cut oil production again starting next month, but by all indications the taps are set to remain wide open until then -- swelling crude stockpiles for at least a few more weeks.

The kingdom’s crude exports so far in April stand at 9.3 million barrels a day, according to tanker-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with 6.8 million barrels a day through the first two weeks of March. What’s more, there are at least 10 supertankers with the capacity to haul a combined 20 million barrels of oil waiting to load at the Saudi port of Ras Tanura in the coming days.

State-owned oil company Saudi Aramco pledged to boost output to 12.3 million barrels a day in April as it slashed prices in a battle for market share, following the collapse of the three-year old OPEC+ pact in March. As the coronavirus spread across the globe, governments imposed restrictions on movement and demand collapsed further, as did prices.

Following marathon international talks this past weekend, there’s now a new global deal to limit output, with Saudi Arabia agreeing to trim production to 8.5 million barrels a day in May and June. There’s been no indication that any producer will close the taps before May, meaning millions of barrels a day of crude entering the market that aren’t needed.

“The arrangement is from May,” Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, the Saudi oil minister, told reporters on a conference call on Monday in reference to the OPEC+ agreement. “All of April was sold.”

In other words, the price war is still on for now. So far, the market hasn’t been impressed. Global benchmark Brent crude was down 5.4% at around $30 a barrel, by 5:50 p.m. in London on Tuesday. On Monday, the first day following the new agreement, futures rose by a meager 0.8%.

Another measure -- the official selling prices that traders pay for actual barrels of crude in the physical market -- indicates that Saudi Arabia is still looking to gain market share. The so-called OSPs for April were already at their lowest in at least three decades. The kingdom released May’s prices yesterday, deepening the discounts to most markets, especially Asia, where the cut was greater than expected.
