据世界石油网8月31日消息 由于投资者权衡欧佩克+产量增加的前景以及飓风艾达后美国原油产量的恢复，石油价格创下10月份以来的最大月度跌幅。
西德克萨斯中质原油在纽约下跌0.8%，本月下跌约7%。虽然预计墨西哥湾原油生产商将在艾达在路易斯安那州搁浅后逐渐恢复服务，但当地炼油厂的恢复速度可能较慢。
随着疫情的蔓延，欧佩克及其盟友将于周三举行会议，评估全球市场和需求前景。由于预计德尔塔病毒对消费的影响将减弱，联盟正在恢复40万桶/天的产量。欧佩克+已经重新启动了疫情爆发时关闭的前所未有的石油产量的约45%。
随着投资者对全球健康危机的最新波折和美元汇率的波动做出反应，石油在8月份经历了动荡，每隔几周上涨和下跌。美国基准原油本月暴跌，尽管库存稳步减少，包括主要进口国在内的一些国家已成功控制了德尔塔病毒的爆发。
盛宝银行大宗商品策略主管Ole Hansen表示：“在欧佩克之前，存在一些紧张情绪，人们意识到飓风艾达对需求有短期负面影响，而供应不应受到影响。”
价格：
伦敦时间上午10:13，10月份交货的WTI下跌55美分，至每桶68.66美元；
布伦特10月份结算价下跌0.5%，至每桶73.06美元；
最活跃的11月合约跌至每桶71.82美元。

Oil prices near biggest monthly loss since October before OPEC meets
Oil headed for the biggest monthly loss since October as investors weighed the prospect of additional OPEC+ production and the restoration of crude output in the U.S. after Hurricane Ida.
West Texas Intermediate fell 0.8% in New York and is down about 7% this month. While Gulf of Mexico crude producers are expected to gradually resume service after Ida crashed ashore in Louisiana, local refineries may be slower to return.
