據(jù)今日油價(jià)5月18日?qǐng)?bào)道，因需求復(fù)蘇及產(chǎn)油國(guó)加速減產(chǎn)的跡象，美國(guó)基準(zhǔn)原油價(jià)格周一較早時(shí)飆升11%，至每桶逾32美元的兩個(gè)月高點(diǎn)，這使得重復(fù)上個(gè)月在到期前一天WTI原油價(jià)格下跌的可能性越來越小。

美國(guó)東部時(shí)間周一上午10點(diǎn)，周二到期的WTI 6月原油合約價(jià)格為32.86美元，當(dāng)日上漲11.72%，達(dá)到3月第二周以來的最高水平。當(dāng)時(shí)，在沙特阿拉伯為爭(zhēng)奪市場(chǎng)份額而向市場(chǎng)大量供應(yīng)石油之后，油價(jià)開始下滑，隨著各國(guó)開始進(jìn)入封鎖狀態(tài)以遏制疫情的蔓延，需求開始崩潰。

周一布倫特原油價(jià)格也上漲7.60％，至34.93美元，由于歐佩克+和北美的生產(chǎn)商表示，鑒于世界各地的低油價(jià)，高庫(kù)存和低油需求，減產(chǎn)加速和/或限制產(chǎn)量。

然而，石油需求復(fù)蘇的跡象在過去一周開始顯現(xiàn)。上周，美國(guó)能源情報(bào)署(Energy Information Administration即EIA)公布，截至5月8日當(dāng)周，美國(guó)原油庫(kù)存減少70萬桶，為16周來首次商業(yè)庫(kù)存下降。EIA報(bào)告稱，汽油庫(kù)存減少350萬桶，此前一周減少320萬桶，這點(diǎn)燃了需求復(fù)蘇的希望。汽油日均產(chǎn)量為750萬桶，而一周前為670萬桶。

Oil Jumps 11% On Signs Of Demand Recovery

U.S. benchmark oil prices surged by 11 percent early on Monday to a two-month high of over $32 a barrel amid signs of demand recovery and accelerated production cuts from all oil producers, making a repeat of last month’s negative WTI Crude prices a day before expiry increasingly unlikely.

At 10:00 a.m. EDT on Monday, the WTI Crude June contract expiring on Tuesday was trading at $32.86, up by 11.72 percent on the day, to the highest level since the second week of March. Back then, oil prices had started to slide after Saudi Arabia flooded the market with oil in a price war for market share and demand started crumbling as countries began going into lockdown to curb the spreading of the coronavirus.

Brent Crude prices were also surging on Monday, by 7.60 percent at $34.93, as producers from OPEC+ and North America signaled accelerated production cuts and/or curtailments in view of the low oil prices, high inventories, and still low oil demand around the world.

However, evidence of recovering oil demand began to emerge over the past week. Last week, the Energy Information Administration reported a crude oil inventory decline of 700,000 barrels for the week to May 8—the first drop in commercial inventories in 16 weeks. In gasoline, the EIA reported an inventory draw of 3.5 million barrels, after a draw of 3.2 million for the previous week, which fueled hopes for demand recovery. Gasoline production averaged 7.5 million bpd, versus 6.7 million bpd a week earlier.
