據(jù)今日油價(jià)網(wǎng)站3月23日消息 在美國(guó)能源信息管理署（EIA）公布截至3月18日的一周原油庫(kù)存減少250萬桶后，美國(guó)原油價(jià)格今日繼續(xù)上漲。

與之前一周相比，庫(kù)存增加430萬桶暫時(shí)阻止了最近油價(jià)的上漲。

在汽油方面，EIA報(bào)告稱，截至3月18日的一周內(nèi)，美國(guó)庫(kù)存減少290萬桶，日產(chǎn)量平均為980萬桶。

相比之下，之前一周的庫(kù)存下降360萬桶，平均日產(chǎn)量為940萬桶。

在中間餾分油方面，EIA報(bào)告上周的美國(guó)庫(kù)存減少了210萬桶，而之前一周庫(kù)存增加30萬桶。

上周，中間餾分油的平均日產(chǎn)量為500萬桶，之前一周為490萬桶。

根據(jù)英國(guó)《金融時(shí)報(bào)》本周的一份報(bào)告，關(guān)于中間餾分油，全球頂級(jí)大宗商品交易商提醒稱，柴油短缺正籠罩著全球經(jīng)濟(jì)，可能成為系統(tǒng)性問題。

英國(guó)《金融時(shí)報(bào)》援引維多首席執(zhí)行官羅素·哈迪的話報(bào)道稱：“歐洲大約一半的柴油從大國(guó)進(jìn)口，一半的柴油從中東進(jìn)口，柴油的系統(tǒng)性短缺已經(jīng)存在?！?/p>

貢沃爾聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人托爾比約恩·托恩克維斯特表示：“柴油不只是歐洲的問題，這是一個(gè)全球性的問題?！?/p>

與此同時(shí)，油價(jià)在本周早些時(shí)候飆升后放緩。由于一些歐盟成員國(guó)對(duì)這一步驟存在疑慮，顯然尚未達(dá)成一致，此后價(jià)格上漲陷入停滯。

在撰寫本文時(shí)，布倫特原油的交易價(jià)格為每桶120.90美元，西得克薩斯中質(zhì)原油的交易價(jià)格為每桶114.20美元，均較周二收盤價(jià)略有上升。

Oil Prices Bolstered By Falling Crude Inventories

Crude oil prices continued up today after the Energy Information Administration reported a crude oil inventory draw of 2.5 million barrels for the week to March 18.

This compared with a build of 4.3 million barrels for the previous week, which temporarily arrested the latest oil price rally.

In gasoline, the authority reported an inventory draw of 2.9 million barrels for the week to March 18, with production averaging 9.8 million barrels daily.

This compares with an inventory draw of 3.6 million barrels for the previous week and average daily production of 9.4 million barrels. 

In middle distillates, the EIA reported an inventory decline of 2.1 million barrels for last week, which compared with a build of 300,000 barrels for the previous week.

Middle distillate production averaged 5 million bpd last week, which compared with 4.9 million bpd a week earlier.

Regarding middle distillates, top global commodity traders have warned that a shortage of diesel was looming over the global economy that could become systemic, according to a Financial Times report from this week.

“Europe imports about half of its diesel from Russia and about half of its diesel from the Middle East,” Russell Hardy, chief executive of Vitol, said, as quoted by the FT. “That systemic shortfall of diesel is there.” 

“Diesel is not just a European problem, this is a global problem. It really is,” said Gunvor co-founder Torbjorn Tornqvist.

Meanwhile, oil prices slowed down after shooting up earlier this week on news that the European Union was mulling over a ban on Russian oil. After it became clear that the ban has yet to be agreed as some EU members had misgivings about that step, the price rally stalled.

At the time of writing, Brent crude was trading at $120.90 per barrel, with West Texas Intermediate at $114.20 per barrel, both up slightly from Tuesday’s close.
