据道琼斯纽约5月7日消息,美国和全球基准原油期货经过连续四周上涨后首次出现一周下跌,因投资者在油价上涨一个月涨幅逾70%后获利了结。
分析师们表示油市的上扬已经提前用尽供需面改善的消息,因为投资者们因预期全球产量将在控制之中而调整多头头寸,并且在油价经过这样的大涨后出现了停顿。
美国和布伦特原油期货从上周创下的年内高点回落,美国基准WTI原油现从年内高点下跌3%,而全球布伦特基准原油从其年内高点回落5.8%。

Oil's Rally Takes a Breather
By Christian Berthelsen and Georgi Kantchev
U.S. and global oil benchmarks posted their first losing week after four straight weeks of gains, as investors put the brakes on a months-long rally that saw prices rise more than 70%.
Analysts said the market rally has run ahead of improvements in supply-and-demand conditions, as investors positioned for gains in the expectation that global production will come under control, and were pausing after such a strong surge.
Both contracts pulled back from 2016 highs set last week, with the U.S. benchmark now down 3% and the global Brent benchmark down 5.8% from its peak this year.
The U.S. oil benchmark ended the day 0.8% higher at $44.66 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while the global Brent benchmark rose 0.8% to $45.37 barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange.
