据道琼斯5月15日消息,美银美林全球研究部门的报告称,尽管近来油价大幅反弹,但是美国原油价格仍将回落至50美元/桶的水平。报告指出:“由于需求将呈现季节性下降,WTI原油价格或回落至50美元/桶。”报告称油价可能在9月底开始下跌,因为届时炼油厂检修季将开始。报告预测今年底美国油价为57美元/桶,比周五收盘价59.69美元/桶下跌逾2美元/桶。

BofA Warns of Oil Slide After Summer Demand Eases
Despite a recent rally, the price of U.S. crude could be headed back down to $50 a barrel, according to a BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research report. "As demand slows down seasonally, be prepared for WTI to revert back to $50/bbl," the report said, adding that prices could fall in late September, as refinery maintenance season kicks in. The report forecasts a year end oil price of $57 a barrel -- more than $2 below Friday's closing price of $59.69.
