石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據彭博社12月25日消息，由于對全球經濟和華盛頓動蕩的擔憂蓋過了歐佩克可能進一步減產的信號，原油價格跌至一年半以來的最低水平。 圣誕前夜，紐約期貨下跌6.7%，因投資者評估政府關門的威脅，美國股市重挫。自去年10月觸及四年高點以來，最近一次下跌導致原油價格下跌44％，其中包括自歐佩克和俄羅斯本月早些時候宣布大幅減產以來，油價下跌19%。 總部位于紐約的對沖基金Again Capital LLC合伙人John Kilduff表示：“隨著股市走低，金融市場普遍感到不安，這只會壓低價格。需求前景繼續受到質疑?！?歐佩克及其盟國同意在12月7日削減產量，但迄今為止在提振油價方面收效甚微。阿聯酋能源部長暗示，明年可能會討論進一步的限制措施。投資者懷疑減產是否足以削弱供應，因美國原油產量仍高于1100萬桶/天。 周一標準普爾500指數下跌2.7％，能源指數下跌4％。跌幅最大的是赫斯公司，該公司股價下跌12%，創下近三年來的最大跌幅。 Petromatrix GmbH董事總經理Olivier Jakob表示：“周末的主要投入是歐佩克成員國的持續干預。就目前而言，市場忽略了這些言論，因為我們處于這個看跌周期?！?紐約商品交易所結算的西德克薩斯中質原油2月交割價下跌3.06美元，至42.53美元/桶。周一成交量較周二圣誕節前的百日均值低約30%。西德克薩斯中質原油在10月初達到接近77美元/桶的峰值。 倫敦倫敦洲際交易所2月份交割的布倫特原油期貨價格下跌3.35美元，至50.47美元/桶。全球基準原油價格較西德克薩斯中質原油溢價7.94美元。 阿聯酋能源部長Suhail Al Mazrouei表示，如果目前的減產力度不夠，歐佩克可以選擇召開特別會議，就進一步減產做出決定。在科威特舉行的新聞發布會上，來自伊拉克、阿聯酋和阿爾及利亞的部長們輪流重申，歐佩克將實施產量限制，并繼續與盟國合作。 至于OPEC的減產，Kilduff稱：“他們必須以一種重要的方式履行他們的承諾，才能阻止油價下跌?！?陳菲 摘譯自 彭博社 原文如下： Crude Spirals to 18-Month Low Amid Global Economic Concerns Crude fell to the lowest level in a year and a half as concerns over the global economy and turbulence in Washington overshadowed signals from OPEC that it may deepen output cuts. Futures slid 6.7 percent in a shortened Christmas Eve session in New York, joining a rout in U.S. stocks as investors assess the threat from a government shutdown. The latest tumble left crude prices down 44 percent since reaching a four-year peak in October — including a 19 percent falloff since OPEC and Russia announced major output cuts earlier this month. “As stocks get taken down and there is nervousness across financial markets, it’s just undercutting prices here,” said John Kilduff, a partner at New York-based hedge fund Again Capital LLC. “The demand outlook continues to be called into question.” OPEC and its allies agreed to cut production on Dec. 7, but they’ve had little success so far in propping up prices. The United Arab Emirates’ energy minister signaled additional curbs could be discussed next year. Investors are skeptical the reductions will be sufficient to dent supplies, with U.S. crude output still above 11 million barrels a day. The S&P 500 Index sank 2.7 percent Monday, with its energy index shedding 4 percent. The declines were led by Hess Corp., which lost 12 percent, the most in almost three years. “The main input over the weekend has been the continued intervention by OPEC members,” said Olivier Jakob, managing director at Petromatrix GmbH. “For now, those statements are ignored by the market because we are in this bearish cycle.” West Texas Intermediate for February delivery fell $3.06 to $42.53 a barrel at settlement on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Total volume traded Monday was about 30 percent below the 100-day average ahead of the Christmas holiday Tuesday. WTI peaked near $77 a barrel in early October. Brent for February settlement dipped $3.35 to $50.47 a barrel on London’s ICE Futures Europe exchange. The global benchmark crude traded at an $7.94 premium to WTI. Suhail Al Mazrouei, the U.A.E.’s energy minister, said that OPEC has the option to hold an extraordinary meeting to decide on more output cuts if the current one isn’t enough. At a press briefing in Kuwait, ministers from Iraq, the U.A.E. and Algeria took turns repeating the message that OPEC will deliver its production curbs and continue to work with its allies. As for OPEC’s cuts, “they have to follow through on their rhetoric in a significant way” in order for the price decline to stop, Kilduff said. ?
