據道瓊斯4月23日消息，EIA周三公布的數據顯示，美國原油庫存增幅超過預期，但汽油庫存僅略有增加，因疫情影響繼續抑制需求。

EIA表示，上周美國原油庫存大增1500萬桶，升至5.186億桶，比五年平均水平高出約9%。此前接受《華爾街日報》調查的分析師此前預計，原油庫存將較前一周增加1380萬桶。

EIA稱，上周美國原油產量小幅下降10萬桶，至每日1220萬桶。

U.S. Crude-Oil Inventories Rise More Than Forecast

U.S. inventories of crude oil rose more than expected but gasoline stockpiles increased only slightly as the deadly coronavirus continues to curb demand, according to data released Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration.

Crude-oil stockpiles climbed by 15 million barrels to 518.6 million barrels, putting them about 9% above the five-year average, the EIA said. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted crude stockpiles would rise by 13.8 million barrels from the prior week.

U.S. crude-oil production fell by a modest 100,000 barrels a day last week to 12.2 million barrels a day, the EIA said.
