据路透社9月16日报道，由于飓风导致美国近海油气生产关闭，同时一份行业报告显示美国原油库存下降，美国石油价格周三连续第二天上涨，涨幅超过2%。
周二，美国超过四分之一的海上石油生产因莎莉飓风而关闭。美国石油学会(American Petroleum Institute)周二表示，原油库存减少950万桶，而此前，分析师曾预期增加。
格林尼治标准时间07：55，布伦特原油价格上涨77美分，涨幅1.9%，至每桶41.30美元;美国原油价格上涨85美分，涨幅2.2%，至每桶39.13美元。周二，这两种合约的涨幅都超过了2%。
石油经纪商PVM的斯蒂芬?布伦诺克(Stephen Brennock)表示:“昨晚，API进一步注入了看涨的动力。尽管当前让人们感觉到一些有利因素似乎已重返石油市场，但基本面仍远未得到支撑。”
尽管飓风导致炼油厂关闭，需求减少，但与飓风影响有关的停产可能有助于减少库存。
由于冠状病毒危机打击了需求，石油价格跌至历史低点。欧佩克及其盟友创纪录的减产，以及出行限制的放松，帮助布伦特原油价格从4月份低于每桶16美元的21年低点反弹。
受病毒病例增加和对需求担忧的压力，9月份石油价格有所下降。欧佩克和国际能源署（IEA）本周都下调了需求预期。
消息人士表示，欧佩克+石油部长小组周四将开会审查供应协议，尽管油价下跌，但不太可能建议进一步限制产量。

Oil jumps as hurricane hits U.S. output while crude stocks decline
Oil rose for a second day More than a quarter of U.S. offshore output was shut Brent crude LCOc1 rose 77 cents, or 1.9%, to $41.30 a barrel by 0755 GMT, while U.S. crude CLc1 added 85 cents, or 2.2%, to $39.13. Both contracts rose by more than 2% “Overnight, the API provided a further injection of bullish impetus,” said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM. “As much as a feel-good factor appears to have returned to the oil market, underlying fundamentals remain far from supportive.”
The storm-related shutdowns may help reduce stockpiles although refineries were also closed, cutting demand. Official Energy Information Administration stocks data, which does not always confirm the API figures, is due at 1430 GMT.
Oil prices collapsed to historic lows as the coronavirus crisis hit demand. A record supply cut by OPEC and its allies, known as OPEC+, and an easing of lockdowns has helped Brent recover from a 21-year low below $16 in April.
Prices have dropped in September, pressured by rising virus cases and concerns about demand. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and International Energy Agency have both cut their demand outlooks this week.
A panel of OPEC+ oil ministers meets to review the supply pact on Thursday and is unlikely to recommend further output curbs despite the price drop, sources told Reuters.
