库存数据公布前油价上涨

据道琼斯12月29日消息，因市场预期周三将公布有利油价的库存数据，且投资者在年底前了结空头头寸，周二原油期货价格出现上涨。

纽约商品交易所一月份交割的轻质低硫原油期货结算价上涨1.06美元，至37.87美元/桶，涨幅2.9%。欧洲ICE期货交易所的全球基准布伦特原油期货结算价上涨1.17美元，至37.79美元/桶，涨幅3.2%。

接受《华尔街日报》调查的分析师预期，美国能源情报署周三将公布截至12月25日的一周美国原油库存减少150万桶。这将是过去四周内第三次出现周度库存下降的情况，有助缓解一些有关原油供应过剩的担忧。

Oil Prices Rise Ahead of Supply Data

By Timothy Puko And Kevin Baxter

Oil prices rose on Tuesday ahead of potentially bullish inventory data and as investors moved to close out bearish bets before year's end.

Light, sweet crude for January delivery settled up $1.06, or 2.9%, to $37.87 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent, the global benchmark, rose $1.17, or 3.2%, to $37.79 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.

Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expect the U.S. Energy Information Administration to report Wednesday that U.S. crude inventories fell by 1 million barrels in the week ended Dec. 25. It would be the third drawdown from stockpiles in four weeks, easing some concerns about the glut of crude overwhelming demand.
