據道瓊斯6月11日消息，盡管美國能源信息署（EIA）的數據顯示，美國原油出口量在疫情爆發的初期表現良好，在截止5月1日當周攀升至350萬桶/天，但此后一直在下降，分析人士表示，這一趨勢可能會持續下去。EIA最新報告顯示，美國原油出口量連續第五周下降至240萬桶/日，創下7個月來的最低水平。晨星公司表示，一個關鍵的障礙是，美國原油出口實際上是在與自己競爭，因為3月和4月出口的原油都被運到油輪上儲存，而不是用于煉油廠。如今，隨著全球需求復蘇導致油價上漲，持有這種浮動庫存原油的投資者紛紛拋售。

US Oil Exports Fall for 5th Straight Week

While EIA data shows US crude-oil exports held up well during the early part of the coronavirus pandemic outbreak, climbing to a solid 3.5M bpd for the week ended May 1, it's been all downhill since then, and analysts say the trend could continue. Today's EIA report shows a fifth straight week of declines, to 2.4M bpd, the lowest in seven months. Morningstar says a key hindrance is that US crude exports are essentially competing against themselves, because exports in March and April were sent abroad onto ships for storage, rather than being used at refineries. Now, as oil prices rise amid recovering global demand, investors in possession of that floating crude-in-storage are selling it.
