上周美国原油库存降幅超预期

据道琼斯8月30日消息，据美国能源信息署（EIA）周三公布的数据显示，截止8月25日当周，美国原油库存大幅下降，主要是因为炼油厂正接近于满负荷生产。

EIA表示，上周美国原油库存减少540万桶降至4.578亿桶，处于历史同期平均水平的中间区域。此前《华尔街日报》调查的分析师们预测上周美国原油库存减少180万桶。

EIA在周报中称，上周美国原油交割地俄克拉荷马州库欣的原油库存增加68.9万桶升至5720万桶。

DJ U.S. Oil Supplies Fall More Than Expected

U.S. inventories of crude oil declined sharply for the week ended Aug. 25 as refinery activity surged toward full-throttle, according to data released Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration.

Crude-oil stockpiles fell by 5.4 million barrels to 457.8 million barrels, placing them in the middle of the average range for this time of year, the EIA said. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted crude supplies would fall by 1.8 million barrels on the week.

Oil stored at Cushing, Okla., the delivery point for U.S. stocks, rose by 689,000 barrels to 57.2 million barrels, the EIA said in its weekly report.
