中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2022年11月4日报道，彭博新闻社报道说，沙特阿拉伯下调了12月对所有亚洲客户的原油官方销售价格，12月交货的旗舰原油阿拉伯轻质原油的官方售价现在每桶下调了0.40美元。原因是亚洲经济体的经济增长放缓。
根据彭博新闻社的一项调查，此次官方售价下调幅度超出了交易商和炼油商的预期。然而，最终价格仍远高于前几年的水平，阿拉伯轻质原油价格每桶仍比迪拜/阿曼基准价格高出5.45美元。
与此同时，沙特阿拉伯上调了将在12月出售给欧洲的原油价格，尽管欧洲大陆受到的经济衰退威胁并不亚于亚洲。12月出口美国的原油官方售价保持不变。
据路透社报道，在欧洲，阿拉伯轻质原油12月交割的价格将比布伦特原油每桶高出1.70美元，超轻质混合原油的价格将比布伦特原油每桶高出3.40美元，价格分别上涨0.80美元和0.70美元。
这对欧洲大部分国家来说是个坏消息。这意味着，在欧盟已经在为天然气进口账单苦苦挣扎之际，它的石油进口账单将会膨胀。
亚洲是沙特阿拉伯原油的优先出口市场，印度、韩国和日本等是其最大的买家。
沙特阿拉伯坚称减产是一个共识决定，其他欧佩克+成员国也是如此。
不过，欧佩克+做出这一决定之际，油价正处于一个微妙的时期。由于全球经济放缓的预测，油价一直在需求担忧和供应短缺担忧之间摇摆。欧佩克+表示，正是对需求的担忧促使他们决定从去年12月起将原油日产量减少100万桶。

Saudi Arabia Cuts Oil Prices For Asia
Saudi Arabia has lowered its official selling prices for oil for all its Asian clients, with the flagship Arab Light for December delivery now priced $0.40 lower, Bloomberg reported, citing the slowdown across Asian economies.
The price cut is deeper than traders and refiners had expected, per a Bloomberg survey. Yet the final price remains considerably higher than it has been in previous years, with Arab Light at $5.45 per barrel above the Dubai/Oman benchmark.
At the same time, the Saudis raised the price of the oil they will be selling to Europe in December, even though that continent is no less threatened by a recession than Asia. Prices for the United States remained unchanged.
For Europe, Arab Light for December delivery would cost $1.70 over Brent, Reuters reported, and the Extra Light blend would cost $3.40 over Brent, with the price increase at $0.80 and $0.70, respectively.
This is bad news for most of Europe. This means the EU’s oil import bill is set to swell at a time when it is already struggling with its gas import bill.
Asia is a priority market for the Saudis, with India, South Korea, and Japan its biggest buyers.
The Saudis have maintained that it was a consensus decision and so have other OPEC+ members.
The decision, however, comes at a delicate time for oil prices, which have been oscillating between demand concern prompted by forecasts of a global economic slowdown and fears of a supply shortage. It was concern about demand that OPEC+ said motivated the decision to reduce production by 1 million bpd from December.
