据道琼斯6月2日消息,ClearView能源合伙公司表示,美国政府或在今年晚些时候出售战略石油储备,这将对油价形成压力。美国国会已经通过两部出售能源部战略石油储备所需的法律,其他利用出售战略石油储备来募资的法案也即将出台。一些分析师争议当前美国战略石油储备已接近于7亿桶,高于该国保证能源安全所需的储备量,因为当前美国石油产量高于需求。

US Government Could Sell Oil Later This Year
The US government might sell barrels out of its strategic petroleum reserve this year, which could pressure oil prices, ClearView Energy Partners says. Congress passed two laws that require sales from the Department of Energy's strategic reserve, and other bills are pending that would use SPR sales to raise money. Some analysts argue that the reserve, which stands at nearly 700M barrels, is bigger than the country needs for energy security because the US produces more oil than it used to.
