中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博新闻社2023年3月3日报道,在阿联酋政府官员对《华尔街日报》有关阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯之间裂痕不断扩大的报道提出异议以后,原油价格周五在早盘摇摆不定之后出现反弹。更广泛的风险偏好情绪也支撑了周五原油价格的上涨,从而推动布伦特原油价格和西得克萨斯中质原油价格均升至逾两周以来的盘中高点。
摩根大通全球能源策略主管克里斯蒂安·马雷克表示:“阿联酋对《华尔街日报》有关阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯之间裂痕不断扩大的报道的反应表明,阿联酋决心阻止油价下滑。”
今年以来,油价一直难以突破每桶10美元的波动区间,交易商们在美联储(FED)加息和亚洲原油消费增加的预期之间进行权衡。
全球最大原油进口国本周发布的一系列经济数据,被视为油价反弹站稳的证据,推动本周油价每桶上涨逾2美元。

Oil Post Weekly Gain as UAE Denies OPEC Exit Plans
After wavering in the morning, crude’s rally was revived after state officials disputed a report from the Wall Street Journal of a growing rift between the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Broader risk-on sentiment also supported Friday’s advance, pushing both Brent and West Texas Intermediate to their highest intraday in more than two weeks.
“The response by the UAE to this news is telling of its conviction to prevent oil prices sliding,” said Christyan Malek, global head of energy strategy at JP Morgan.
Oil prices have struggled to break out of a $10 range this year, with traders weighing interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve against expectations of higher crude consumption out of Asia. A spate of economic data released this week from the world’s largest crude importer was seen as evidence of a rebound taking hold, driving gains of more than $2 this week.
