油價連跌三天!WTI淨多頭頭寸降至2020年4月以來最低
智通財經APP獲悉,由於Delta病毒變種的傳播破壞了全球需求前景,油價連續第三天下跌。
週一,WTI原油期貨下跌1.7%,創下一週內最大跌幅,因亞洲新暴發的疫情令部分國家經濟承壓,零售銷售和工業產出放緩。根據Descartes Labs
Inc.的調查,截至8月13日當週,美國汽油需求下降。 Delta病毒變種導致感染和住院人數增加,燃料消耗連續三週下降。
道明證券全球大宗商品策略主管Bart
Melek表示:“投資者擔心我們看到的這種負面趨勢將不僅僅是一個局部問題。”“我們正從強勁的赤字預期轉變爲潛在的盈餘預期,因爲病毒變種繼續阻礙需求增長率。”

原油價格在今年上半年上漲後,自7月中旬以來一直停滯不前。
Delta病毒變種的傳播破壞了消費前景,因爲部分國家又開始採取限制出行的措施。與此同時,OPEC+計劃逐步增加石油產量,取消疫情初期實施的供應限制。
Again Capital LLC合夥人John Kilduff指出,隨着夏季旅遊假期的結束,美國也進入了石油需求疲軟期。
由於市場近幾周的動盪,基金經理對美國原油期貨的看法變得不那麼樂觀了。 投機者目前持有自2020年4月以來最小的WTI淨多頭頭寸。
有跡象表明,美國頁巖油生產商正在加緊生產。 根據美國能源信息署的數據,主要頁巖盆地的原油產量將增至809萬桶/天,爲2020年4月以來的最高水平。
該機構表示,二疊紀盆地(Permian Basin)的產量將達到去年3月以來的最高水平。
