据道琼斯4月13日消息,因为美国上周原油库存意外增加,并且对主要产油国能否达成限产协议的预期日益悲观,美国和全球原油期货周三下跌。
美国和全球主要原油期货周三大部分时间均下跌,从前一个交易日触及的2016年高点回落。纽约商交所的原油期货下跌1%,至每桶41.76美元,欧洲ICE期货交易所的布伦特原油期货下跌1.1%,至每桶44.18美元。
美国能源部公布,上周国内原油库存增加660万桶,远远超出分析师预期的增加180万桶。报告还称,上周外国原油进口大幅增加。

Oil Prices Fall on Bearish U.S. Supply Data, Doubts on Production Cuts
By Christian Berthelsen
U.S. and global oil benchmarks fell Wednesday amid bearish surprises in weekly U.S. crude supply data and mounting pessimism about prospects for an agreement among sovereign producers to curb output.
Both major contracts spent most of the day in the red, pulling back from 2016 highs the day before. The U.S. benchmark fell 1% to $41.76 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while the global Brent contract fell 1.1% to $44.18 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange.
The U.S. Energy Department said domestic oil inventories rose 6.6 million barrels last week, far more than the 1.8-million barrel increase projected by analysts. The report also said imports of foreign oil jumped last week and refinery demand slowed.
