纽交所原油价格达到4个月高点

据Oil & Gas Journal网站3月14日休斯顿报道 3月13日，美国能源信息管理局（EIA）公布，截至3月8日的一周，原油供应（不包括战略石油储备）下降390万桶，至4.491亿桶，轻质低硫原油价格在58美元/桶以上。

原油供应的下降有点意外，因为《华尔街时报》在EIA每周库存报告发布前调查分析师曾预计，本周原油供应将增加190万桶。

EIA的石油状况报告还显示，美国石油产量降至1200万桶/日，略低于截至3月1日的一周内报告的创纪录的1210万桶/日。

3月14日，欧佩克在其月度石油报告中表示，2月份的卡特尔产量比1月份下降了22.1万桶/日。据二手消息来源，欧佩克2月份的日产量平均为3055万桶。

欧佩克的报告称，原油产量主要在委内瑞拉、沙特阿拉伯和伊拉克下降，而2月份利比亚和安哥拉的产量较1月份有所上升。

MARKET WATCH: NYMEX crude oil price reaches 4-month high

Light, sweet crude oil prices settled above $58/bbl on Mar. 13 after the US Energy Information Administration reported crude oil supplies, excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, fell by 3.9 million bbl to 449.1 million bbl for the week ended Mar. 8.

The drop was unexpected. Analysts surveyed by the Wall Street Journal in advance of the EIA weekly inventory report had expected crude supplies would have risen by 1.9 million bbl for the week.
