据道琼斯8月31日消息,美银美林分析师表示,随着美国原油出口能力已经受到热带风暴哈维的冲击,任何长时间的炼油厂运行中断可能不仅将拉低WTI原油价格,而且也将拉低布伦特原油价格。分析师们周四在一份报告中预测,WTI油价的疲软将刺激美国出口更多的原油,同时进口更少的原油,这可能短暂地将布伦特油价拉低至47美元/桶。

Harvey Could Drag Down Brent, Analysts Say
With U.S. crude export capacity already constrained by Tropical Storm Harvey, any long-term refinery outages could not only end up dragging WTI crude lower but also Brent, according to analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The "weakness in WTI will encourage more U.S. crude exports and fewer imports, even briefly drag down Brent to $47/bbl," the analysts predicted in a note Thursday.
