石油价格上涨寄希望于OPEC减产

原标题：石油价格上涨寄希望于OPEC减产

中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程12月2日报道，由于预计石油输出国组织（欧佩克）可能在本周举行的会议上进一步深化减产，油价小幅上涨。

据路透社报道，布伦特原油期货上涨0.76美元，至每桶61.25美元，而西德克萨斯中质原油（WT I）期货上涨0.91美元，至每桶56.08美元.

欧佩克的减产表明明年供应可能紧张。

石油价格也受到支撑，因为中国制造业业活动增加的迹象表明燃料需求增加。

该新闻社援引AxiTrader亚洲首席市场策略师斯蒂芬·英尼斯（Stephen Innes）的话表示，在公开市场上，价格仍受到令人惊奇的弹性中国工厂活动的支撑，前瞻性PMI超出预期。

伊拉克的评论表明，欧佩克和盟国的生产商将考虑将日产量削减约40万桶左右至160万桶也为油价提供了支持。

本周，欧佩克+集团预计将把现有的减产措施延长至明年6月，作为将在维也纳举行的会议的一部分。

根据目前的协议，该集团同意从今年1月至明年3月将供应减少120万桶/天。

ING Economics在一份报告中表示，部长们不会对供应采取任何行动，不会削减而延长削减期限，也不会进一步加深削减幅度。

ING补充道，我们认为，只有最后一种情况才会对油价产生建设性影响。

根据路透社的一项调查显示，上个月，欧佩克日产量近2957万桶，比10月份的修正值下降了11万桶。

Oil prices rise on hopes for output cuts by OPEC

Oil prices have edged up on expectations that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) may deepen cuts at its meeting to be held this week.

Brent crude futures increased $0.76 at $61.25 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures rose $0.91 to $56.08 a barrel, reported Reuters.

OPEC’s output cuts indicated that supply may tighten next year.

Oil prices also received support as signs of rising manufacturing activity in China directed towards the increase in fuel demand.

AxiTrader Asia chief market strategist Stephen Innes was quoted by the news agency as saying: “At the open, prices remain supported by the surprising resilient China factory activity with the forward-looking PMI’s beating expectations.”

Iraq’s comments that the OPEC and allied producers will consider deepening output cuts by around 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 1.6Mbpd also offered support to oil prices.

This week, OPEC+ group is expected to extend existing output cuts until next June as part of its meet, which will be held in Vienna.

Under the current deal, the group agreed to cut supply by 1.2Mbpd from January this year until March next year.

ING Economics said in a note that the ministers will not take any action on the supply, extend the cuts without change, or deepen them further.

ING added: “We believe that only the final scenario would be constructive for oil prices.”

Last month, OPEC pumped nearly 29.57Mbpd, down 110,000bpd from October’s revised figure, according to a survey by Reuters.
