据路透社10月25日报道，美国原油库存意外减少后，油价在前一交易日大幅上涨，但因对需求前景疲弱的担忧加剧了下行压力，油价于周四回落。据了解，截至格林威治标准时间03：35，布伦特原油期货LCOc1下跌33美分（0.5%），至每桶60.84美元。而国际基准原油价格周三上涨2.5%，收于每桶61.17美元，为9月30日以来的最高水平。
西德克萨斯中质原油期货CLc1下跌44美分，至每桶55.53美元，跌幅0.8%。美国原油价格前一交易日收盘上涨3.3%。OANDA高级市场分析师Jeffrey Halley表示:“在昨晚油价大幅上涨后，亚洲市场出现了获利回吐。”美国能源信息署（EIA）数据显示，截至10月18日当周，美国原油库存减少170万桶，低于分析师预估的220万桶。这与行业组织美国石油学会（API）此前公布的库存数据形成了鲜明对比——该数据显示美国原油库存增加了450万桶。EIA表示，在炼油厂增加原油供应、石油进口下降的情况下，每周库存出现下降，这导致周三两个基准原油价格都出现跃升。但交易商表示，对需求疲弱前景的持续担忧继续打压着市场人气。

Reuters: Oil slips Oil prices dipped West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 dropped 44 cents, or 0.8%, to $55.53 per barrel. U.S. crude closed 3.3% higher in the previous session. "Oil is seeing profit-taking in Asia after last night's sharp up-move," said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at OANDA. U.S. crude inventories fell 1.7 million barrels in the week ended October 18, compared with analysts' expectations for a 2.2 million barrel build, data from the Energy Information Administration showed. This was in stark contrast with earlier inventory data released by industry group the American Petroleum Institute (API), which showed a build of 4.5 million barrels in U.S. crude stocks. The EIA said the drawdown in weekly stocks came as refineries hiked crude runs and oil imports fell, which prodded a jump in both benchmark crude grades
