據世界石油網站3月10日報道 在美國石油儲備數據公布之前，石油在漲跌之間反彈。

周三紐約期貨價格攀升，扭轉了早些時候的跌勢。美國石油協會報告稱，上周原油庫存增加，而汽油庫存下降。

不過，市場仍有疲軟跡象。WTI最近的時差在周二短暫地抹去了所有的交割延期費，這表明了市場的緊張。美國政府的一份報告稱，由于石油生產商利用價格回升的機會，預計明年美國頁巖地區的石油產量將攀升。

最近幾周，石油市場的波動性也在攀升。盡管如此，原油價格今年仍上漲了30%以上，此前隨著市場收緊，原油價格周一觸及多年高點。沙特阿拉伯和歐佩克+的減產以及Covid-19疫苗推出后需求前景的改善都有助于股市上漲，而在沙特阿拉伯最近幾天遭受攻擊后，政治風險正在卷土重來。

瑞典北歐安銀行首席大宗商品分析師Bjarne Schieldrop表示：“今年5月，全球石油庫存可能已經恢復正常，歐佩克+使今年的市場比我們預期的要緊得多。”

油價：

倫敦時間上午7:59，西德克薩斯中質原油價格上漲0.6%，至每桶64.42美元；

布倫特5月份結算價上漲0.4%，至67.82美元/桶。

Oil prices hover near $64 as crude inventories climb

Oil bounced between gains and losses before data on U.S. oil stockpiles due later.

Futures in New York crept higher on Wednesday, reversing an earlier decline. The American Petroleum Institute reported crude inventories rose last week, while gasoline stockpiles fell, according to people familiar.

Still, there are signs of weakness in the market. WTI’s nearest timespread briefly erased all of its backwardation -- a structure that indicates tightness -- on Tuesday. Oil production across American shale patches next year is expected to climb as producers take advantage of a price recovery, according to a government report.

Oil market volatility has also been creeping higher in recent weeks. Still, crude is up more than 30% this year, after hitting a multiyear high on Monday as the market tightens. Output cuts from Saudi Arabia and OPEC+, and an improving demand outlook with the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines have both aided the rally, while political risks are returning after an attack on Saudi Arabia in recent days.

“Global oil inventories could be back to normal already in May this year,” said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at SEB AB. “OPEC+ is keeping the market much tighter this year than we had expected.”

Prices:

West Texas Intermediate climbed 0.6% to $64.42 barrel at 7:59 a.m. London time

Brent for May settlement rose 0.4% to $67.82
