据道琼斯3月8日消息,原油期货价格周二大幅下跌,回吐前一个交易日的大部分涨幅,因最新迹象表明全球供应过剩和疲弱需求仍在冲击市场,且分析师警告称,近期油市的涨势似乎不可持续。
纽约商品交易所的美国基准原油期货结算价下跌3.7%,至36.5美元/桶,周一则大涨5.5%。全球基准布伦特原油期货下跌2.9%,至39.65美元/桶。这两种原油期货均从1、2月份触及的多年低点20-30美元/桶区间上涨了逾40%。

DJ Oil Prices Fall Back After Recent Gains
By Christian Berthelsen, Miriam Malek and Kevin Baxter
Oil prices sold off sharply Tuesday, giving back a big chunk of prior-day surge, as fresh signals of global oversupply and weak demand buffeted the market and analysts cautioned that the recent market rally appears unsustainable.
The benchmark U.S. crude contract settled down 3.7% at $36.50 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, undoing much of Monday's 5.5% jump. The global Brent contract fell 2.9% to $39.65. Both contracts are up more than 40% from the depths of multiyear lows in the $20-range hit in January and February.
