据道琼斯6月20日消息,投资银行Raymond James在2016年初认为油价会在下半年显著上升,令2016年均价达到每桶50美元,年底时接近每桶70美元,当时纽商所原油期货价格逼近每桶25美元低点。随着2016年中即将到来,该投行对其上述预测感觉良好,并对明年的油价更为乐观,将2017年西得州中质油(WTI)均价预期上调5美元,至每桶80美元。

Raymond James Gives Further Lift to Oil-Price Call
Raymond James at the start of 2016, as Nymex oil futures were heading toward their low near $25/barrel, contended prices would "rise substantially" in 2H, allowing for a $50 average for 2016 with the year ending "closer to $70." As we approach midyear, the investment bank is feeling good about that call and turns even more upbeat about next year, raising its call on WTI's 2017 average another $5 to $80.
