中国石化新闻网讯 据伦敦普氏能源资讯6月5日消息,周二美国早盘,洲际交易所(ICE) 8月份布伦特原油价格下跌,原因是市场预期欧佩克产油国很快将放宽产量限制。
格林尼治时间1326日,洲际交易所8月布伦特原油价格下跌1.16美元,至每桶74.13美元。纽约商品交易所7月份原油价格下跌40美分,至每桶64.35美元。纽约商品交易所7月ULSD报2.77美分,报2.1248美元/加仑。纽约商品交易所7月RBOB报2.31美分,报2.0993美元/加仑。
洲际交易所(ICE) 8月期布伦特原油价格周二触及每桶73.81美元的低点,跌破其波林格区间(Bollinger Band)下限,该下限计算为每桶74.3美元,表明近月合约可能已转入超卖区域。
上一次布伦特原油价格跌破布林格区间下限是在5月8日。随后,原油价格上涨,布伦特原油价格升至最高限价,直到有迹象表明沙特和俄罗斯正在考虑增加供应。
彭博社(Bloomberg)周二报道称,美国政府官员已要求沙特阿拉伯和其他欧佩克产油国每日增产逾100万桶,消息来源不详。
TAC Energy在一份报告中表示:“有报道称,美国要求沙特增加产量,这是导致今天上午石油抛售的原因之一。随着6月22日欧佩克会议的倒计时继续,这一说法将成为人们辩论的话题之一。”
在6月22日于维也纳举行的会议之前,海湾石油部长周末在科威特城举行的一次会议未能提供任何有关石油生产战略的线索。

ICE August Brent was lower in US morning trading Tuesday on expectations OPEC oilproducers will soon relax production limits.
At 1326 GMT, ICE August Brent was $1.16 lower at $74.13/b. NYMEX July crude was down 40 cents at $64.35/b. NYMEX July ULSD was 2.77 cents lower at $2.1248/gal. NYMEX July RBOB was 2.31 cents lower at $2.0993/gal.
ICE August Brent touched a low of $73.81/b so far Tuesday, dipping below its Bollinger Band lower limit calculated at $74.3/b, suggesting the front-month contract may have veered into oversold territory.
The last time ICE Brent dipped below the Bollinger Band lower limit was May 8. A rally then lifted Brent to its upper limit until prices fell hard on indications Saudi Arabia and Russia were considering raising supply.
Bloomberg reported Tuesday that US government officials have asked Saudi Arabia and other OPEC producers to increase production by more than 1 million b/d, citing unnamed sources.
"Reports that the US asked Saudi Arabia to increase production are taking blame for the sell-off this morning, one of many story-lines that will be debated as the count-down to the June 22 OPEC meeting continues," TAC Energy said in a note.
A meeting in Kuwait City over the weekend involving Gulf oil ministers failed to yield any clues on production strategy ahead the June 22 meeting in Vienna.
