加森林大火和炼油产能利用率上升或致美油库存下降

据道琼斯5月24日消息，普氏能源资讯进行的一份分析师调查显示，截至5月20日当周，美国原油库存或下降330万桶，汽油和馏分油库存或分别下降160万桶和90万桶。普氏能源资讯称：“炼油产能利用率季节性上升，再加上艾伯塔省持续的森林大火可能令美国从加拿大进口的石油减少，这两个因素可能导致上周美国原油库存出现下降。”分析师预计，上周美国炼油厂产能利用率上升0.9个百分点，至91.4%，这是导致原油库存下降的一个因素。

Canadian Fires, Rising Refinery Rates Denting US Crude Stocks

[Dow Jones] U.S. crude stockpiles likely waned by 3.3 million barrels in the week ended May 20 while stocks of gasoline and distillates also decreased 1.6 million barrels and 900,000 barrels, respectively, according to an analyst survey by Platts. "A seasonal uptick in refinery utilization combined with a likely drop in Canadian imports due to the ongoing Alberta wildfires likely pushed U.S. crude oil stocks lower last week," the group says. Analysts expect refinery utilization increased 0.9 percentage points to 91.4% of capacity last week, contributing to the crude stock draw.
