据路透新加坡8月23日消息，美国原油期货周四小幅上涨，延续前一交易日的涨幅，受美国商业原油库存下降提振，同时受中美贸易争端影响，国际原油市场走软。
西得克萨斯中质原油期货CLc1在格林尼治标准时间0118 报每桶67.90美元，较上次结算价上涨0.04美元。在此之前，前一交易日的涨幅为3%。
澳大利亚瑞夫金证券(Rivkin Securities)投资分析师威廉•奥洛克林(William O’Loughlin)表示：“由于库存下降超出预期，油价在夜间大幅上涨。”
美国能源情报署(EIA)周三表示，截至8月17日当周，美国商业原油库存减少580万桶，至4.0836亿桶。
由于中美之间持续的贸易争端被视为经济增长的拖累，国际市场走弱。
布伦特原油期货LCOc1报每桶74.65美元，较上次收盘下跌0.13美元。
美国和中国官员本周举行了两个多月来的首次会晤，以解决日益加深的贸易冲突，但迄今没有结果。美国将于周四实施最新一轮关税。
在供应方面，EIA报告称，美国原油日产量回升至1,100万桶。
这意味着全球三大产油国——俄罗斯、美国和沙特阿拉伯——目前日产量都在1100万桶左右，满足全球三分之一的需求。

U.S. oil extends gains after crude inventories fall
U.S. oil edged up U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 were at $67.90 per barrel at 0118 GMT, up 4 cents from their last settlement. That followed a 3 percent jump the previous session.
“Oil prices jumped overnight as inventories drew down more than expected,” said William O’Loughlin, investment analyst at Australia’s Rivkin Securities.
U.S. commercial crude oil inventories C-STK-T-EIA fell by 5.8 million barrels in the week to Aug. 17 to 408.36 million barrels, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said International markets were weaker as the Brent crude oil futures LCOc1 were at $74.65 per barrel, down 13 cents from their last close.
U.S. and Chinese officials this week met for the first time in over two months to resolve the deepening trade conflict, so far without result, with the latest round of U.S. tariffs due to be implemented On the supply side, U.S. crude oil production C-OUT-T-EIA rose back to 11 million barrels per day, the EIA report said.
That means the world’s three top producers, Russia, the United States and Saudi Arabia, now all churn out around 11 million bpd, meeting a third of global demand.
