據鉆機地帶6月10日消息，由于美國燃料庫存增加導致原油漲勢停滯之后，交易商等待通脹數據，油價回跌。

　　紐約期貨價格在早些時候下跌1%后保持穩定。在美國，定于周四晚些時候公布的通脹數據可能會提供有關貨幣政策走向的線索。周三公布的數據顯示，汽油庫存大幅增加，需求滾動均值一個月來首次下滑，加劇了看跌情緒。

　　盡管本周發布了需求數據，但石油市場仍處于消費穩步復蘇的軌道上——盡管一些亞洲國家的需求疲弱在一定程度上抵消了西方國家的強勁勢頭。與此同時，歐佩克+正逐步增加市場供應。

　　瑞銀集團大宗商品分析師Giovannni Staunovo表示:“許多人似乎認為，美國庫存報告顯示的石油產品庫存大幅增加只是一次性事件，其他指標也顯示需求在改善。因此，考慮到這種積極的勢頭，一些人可能認為這是一個買入的機會。”

　　價格

　　倫敦時間上午10點01分，西德克薩斯中質原油(WTI) 7月交割價幾乎沒有變化，為每桶69.97美元。

　　在本周早些時候升至 2018 年以來的最高水平后，WTI 周三跌破 70 美元。

　　布倫特原油8月份結算價小幅上漲0.1%，至72.29美元。

　　市場繼續保持看漲結構。周四，布倫特原油的即時價差達到了自4月底以來的最高水平，升至每桶50美分以上。這種結構表明大西洋盆地地區供應緊張。

　　據美國能源情報署(EIA)數據，美國汽油庫存連續第二周增加逾700萬桶。美國政府用以衡量需求的每周汽油供應錄得自2月以來最大降幅，2月美國遭遇前所未有的極地風暴。

　　Oil Holds Steady as Focus Turns to Inflation

　　Oil erased losses as traders awaited inflation data, after an increase in U.S. fuel stockpiles brought crude’s rally to a halt.

　　Futures in New York held steady after earlier dropping 1%. In the U.S., inflation figures due later Thursday may give clues about the path of monetary policy. Data on Wednesday showed gasoline inventories jumped, and a rolling average of demand slid for the first time in a month, adding to the bearish sentiment.

　　Despite the weekly demand data, the oil market remains on a steady path of recovering consumption -- though strength in the western world is partly offset by weakness in some Asian countries.All the while, OPEC+ is gradually adding supply back to the market.

　　“Many seem to think the U.S. inventory report on the large oil-product inventory increase is a one-off event, considering that other indicators point to improving demand,” said Giovannni Staunovo, a commodity analyst at UBS Group AG. “So considering the positive momentum, some likely see this as a buying opportunity.”

　　Prices

　　West Texas Intermediate for July delivery was little changed at $69.97 a barrel at 10:01 a.m. London time.

　　WTI slipped below $70 on Wednesday, after rising to the highest since 2018 earlier this week.

　　Brent for August settlement edged up 0.1% to $72.29.

　　The market has continued to firm in a bullish structure. The prompt timespread for Brent reached its strongest level since late April on Thursday, rising above 50 cents a barrel. That structure indicates tight supply in the Atlantic Basin region.

　　U.S. gasoline inventories rose by more than 7 million barrels for a second weekly gain, according to the Energy Information Administration. Weekly gasoline supplied, which the U.S.

　　government uses as a proxy for demand, posted its biggest decline since February when the country was hit by an unprecedented polar blast.
