据道琼斯12月26日消息,因美国原油供应大幅增加持续令油市承压,原油期货价格周五吐回早盘的涨幅,收在近五年低点。
纽约商交所二月交割的轻质低硫原油期货价格下跌1.11元,至每桶54.73美元,跌幅2%。该结算报价距离2009年5月5日创下的低点只差63美分。
伦敦ICE交易所二月交割的布伦特原油期货价格下跌79美分,至每桶59.45美元,跌幅1.3%,距离五年新低同样是咫尺之遥。

Oil Prices Drop to Nearly Five-Year Lows
By Leslie Josephs
Oil futures gave back early gains to end near five-year lows on Friday as a surge in U.S. supplies weighed on the market.
Light, sweet crude for February delivery fell 2%, or $1.11, to $54.73 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The U.S. benchmark ended 63 cents away from settling at the lowest price since May 5, 2009.
The February contract for Brent crude, the global benchmark, ended down 79 cents, or 1.3%, at $59.45 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange, also just shy of a new five-year low.
