中国石化新闻网讯 据8月12号ZAWYA网站报道,周五原油价格上涨1%。但由于投资者担心全球贸易纠纷可能会减缓经
济增长并损害能源需求,期货合约数周下跌。
基准布伦特原油LCOc1周五收高74美分至每桶72.96美元。
美国轻质原油CLc1价格上涨82美分至每桶67.63美元。
IEA周五预测油价将面临动荡时期。据路透社报道,IEA在一份月度报告中表示,“近期市场降温,短期供应紧张局面
有所缓解,目前油价下跌,需求增长放缓可能不会持续太久。”
“或许在加上其他地方的生产问题,维持全球供应可能非常具有挑战性。”
因油价动荡打击了沙特石化和能源企业,海湾股市周四大多走低。而房地产公司阿达尔的收益低于预期,拖累了阿布
扎比股市。
阿布扎比股市下跌1.1%,从周三近四年的高位回落。阿达尔地产股价下跌2.5%,此前该公司公布的第二季度利润下
滑28%。
阿布扎比第一银行也下跌了2.4%。FAB股价今年上涨了近37%,主要得益于强劲的收益和沙特市场的扩张。

Oil volatility knocks back Gulf stocks
Crude oil prices were up 1 percent on Friday as United States sanctions against Iran looked set to
tighten supply, but futures contracts posted a weekly decline as investors worried that global trade
disputes could slow economic growth and hurt demand for energy.
Benchmark Brent crude oil LCOc1 settled 74 cents higher at $72.96 a barrel on Friday.
U.S. light crude CLc1 was 82 cents higher at $67.63 a barrel.
The International Energy Agency on Friday predicted turbulent times ahead for oil prices. “The recent
cooling down of the market, with short-term supply tensions easing, currently lower prices, and lower
demand growth might not last,” the IEA said in a monthly report, according to Reuters.
“Perhaps in combination with production problems elsewhere, maintaining global supply might be very
challenging.”
Gulf stocks were mostly lower on Thursday, as volatile oil prices hit petrochemical and energy firms in
the Saudi market, while lower-than-expected earnings of property firm Aldar Properties weighed on the
Abu Dhabi market.
Abu Dhabi slipped 1.1 percent, easing from a near four-year high on Wednesday.Aldar Properties dropped
2.5 percent after reporting a 28 percent fall in Q2 profit.
First Abu Dhabi Bank also fell 2.4 percent. FAB shares have gained nearly 37 percent this year, fuelled
by strong earnings and a move to expand in the Saudi market.
