据道琼斯4月14日消息,法国巴黎银行称,4月份美国石油市场的基本面可能会进一步走软,因为在5至6月美国炼油厂增加原油加工量满足夏季需求之前,规模庞大的原油库存还将继续增加。该行称:“即使美国每周原油供应量的增速的确有所放缓,供应显著减少的现象似乎也不会立刻出现。”只有到夏季炼油厂的开工率为93%及以上时,原油需求才能消化供应过剩,然后降低库存水平。

Still More Room for U.S. Crude Inventory to Build Up
[Dow Jones] The U.S. oil market fundamentals are likely to weaken further in April as large crude-oil inventories can still build-up before U.S. refineries ramp up summer demand in May-June, BNP Paribas says. "If weekly gains in U.S. crude supply have indeed moderated, a significant supply downturn does not yet appear imminent," it says. Only when refineries operate at a rate of 93% or higher in summer will crude demand be enough to contain excess supply and then reduce bloated stock levels, it says.
