據9月14日Oil Monster消息：原油價格連續第二周下跌，導致能源市場在過去兩周下跌超過10%。

這一下滑幅度高于全球最大經濟體的原油庫存預測，并在北半球即將進入冬季之際，引發了已經對汽油需求感到擔憂的石油交易商的焦慮。

作為美國原油價格主要基準的西德克薩斯中質原油當日收盤上漲，WTI原油價格下跌6.1%，延續了上周7.5%的跌幅。

全球國際石油基準布倫特原油在紐約交易時段收于39.83美元。布倫特原油繼上周下跌5.3%之后，本周又下跌了6.6%。

上周油價大跌之前，美國能源信息署(EIA)公布，原油庫存每周增加200萬桶，高于分析師早些時候預測的130萬桶。

這是自7月中旬以來石油庫存的首次增加。而在此前的六周，EIA曾報告原油總降幅超過3,800萬桶。

Crude Oil Prices Post More Than 10% Losses in 2 Weeks

Crude oil prices closed with a second week of losses, which left the energy market down by more than 10%, over the past two weeks.

The slide comes higher than the predicted crude Inventories in the world’s largest economy, and caused anxiety among oil traders already concerned about gasoline demand, as the northern hemisphere head for winter.

West Texas Intermediate crude, the major benchmark for U.S. crude prices, settled the day up WTI lost 6.1% w/w, extending last week’s drop of 7.5%.

Brent crude, the global international benchmark for oil, closed the New York trading session at $39.83. Brent lost 6.6% for the week, adding to its previous week’s drop of 5.3%.

Last week’s plunge came after the Energy Information Administration (EIA), reported a weekly crude inventory gain of 2 million barrels, above the 1.3 million barrels anticipated earlier by analysts.

It was the first surge in oil stockpiles since mid-July. In six previous weeks, the EIA had reported a total crude drawdown of more than 38 million barrels.
