據(jù)路透社4月24日報道，因對利率上升、全球經濟和燃料需求前景的擔憂超過了歐佩克+減產導致供應緊張的預期擔憂，周一油價下跌。

截至格林尼治時間4時9分，布倫特原油價格下跌75美分，跌幅0.92%，至每桶80.91美元，而美國西得克薩斯中質原油價格為每桶77.13美元，下跌74美分，跌幅0.95%。

上周，這兩種原油合約價格都下跌了5%以上，為五周來首次單周下跌。因美國暗示汽油需求較上年同期下降，加劇了人們對全球最大石油消費國經濟衰退的擔憂。

CMC Markets分析師Tina Teng表示，疲軟的美國經濟數(shù)據(jù)和科技行業(yè)令人失望的企業(yè)盈利數(shù)據(jù)引發(fā)了投資者對經濟增長的擔憂和風險規(guī)避，此外，美元企穩(wěn)和債券收益率攀升也給大宗商品市場帶來壓力。

從美國到英國和歐洲的央行預計都將在5月的第一周開會時加息，以解決居高不下的通脹問題。

JTD能源服務總監(jiān)John Driscoll表示，“我認為，最近的經濟數(shù)據(jù)喜憂參半，央行持續(xù)干預是最近價格調整的主要驅動因素。不過，許多人會認為這是一個逢低買入的機會”。

盡管如此，亞洲煉油利潤率仍因印度頂級煉油商創(chuàng)紀錄的產量而減弱，抑制了該地區(qū)對6月份中東供應量的需求。

盡管如此，分析師和交易員仍然看好亞洲2023年下半年的燃料需求復蘇，因為歐佩克+計劃從5月開始進一步削減供應，這可能會收緊市場。

澳大利亞國家銀行的分析師表示，預計石油需求復蘇將在短期內抵消經合組織需求的放緩，而地緣政治因素和供應限制增加了價格上漲的風險，預計布倫特原油價格可能在第二季度末升至每桶92美元。

Oil prices slide on uncertainty over global economic outlook, rate hikes

Oil prices fell on Monday as concerns about rising interest rates, the global economy and the outlook for fuel demand outweighed support from the prospect of tighter supplies on OPEC+ supply cuts, Trend reports with reference to Reuters.

Brent crude slipped 75 cents, or 0.92%, to $80.91 a barrel by 0409 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $77.13 a barrel, down 74 cents, 0.95% lower.

Both contracts fell more than 5% last week, their first weekly drop in five, as U.S. implied gasoline demand fell from a year ago, fuelling worries of a recession at the world's top oil consumer.

Weak U.S. economic data and disappointing corporate earnings from the tech sector sparked growth concerns and risk aversion among investors, CMC Markets analyst Tina Teng said. The stabilising U.S. dollar and climbing bond yields are also pressurising commodity markets, she added.

Central banks from the United States to Britain and Europe are all expected to raise interest rates when they meet in the first week of May, seeking to tackle stubbornly high inflation.

"I would cite recent mixed economic data and continued central bank intervention as the primary drivers behind the recent price correction," said John Driscoll, director of JTD Energy Services. However, many may view this as a dip-buying opportunity, he said.

Still, refining margins in Asia have weakened on record production from top refiners of India, curbing the region's appetite for Middle East supplies loading in June.

Nevertheless, analysts and traders remained bullish about fuel demand recovery towards the second half of 2023 and as additional supply cuts planned by OPEC+ - the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allied producers- from May could tighten markets.

The oil demand recovery is expected to more than offset the slowdown in OECD demand in the near term, while sanctions and supply constraints add upside risk to prices, analysts at the National Australia Bank said, adding that Brent could rise to $92 a barrel by the end of the second quarter.
