由于石油市場的不確定性非常普遍，貿易商們正努力平衡經濟的不確定性與持續的供應削減和不斷上升的資本成本

盡管布倫特原油價格因沙特和產能大國進一步減產的消息而短暫上漲，但在周三早盤交易中回落

周三早盤，西得克薩斯中質原油(WTI)與布倫特原油(Brent)價格出現背離，上漲逾1美元，但仍低于71美元

據油價網7月5日報道，沙特阿拉伯將延長減產的消息傳出后，原油價格一直在上漲，周三開始交易時略有下跌，隨后WTI跳高，而布倫特原油仍處于下跌狀態。

石油市場的不確定性使交易員們難以在經濟風險與供應削減之間取得平衡，盡管這些并不是他們唯一擔心的問題。英國《金融時報》的一項新分析表明，不斷上升的資本成本使價格持續低迷，同時使市場在未來更容易受到沖擊。

在供應方面，沙特阿拉伯本周早些時候宣布，將把其自愿減產的100萬桶/日延長至8月，甚至更長時間。雖然這一消息并不令人意外，但削減的規模引發了市場的積極反應。

沙特周二表示，這一額外的自愿減產旨在加強歐佩克+國家為支持石油市場的穩定與平衡所做的預防性努力。

與此同時，產能大國表示，該國下個月將每天減少50萬桶出口。

該國表示作為確保市場平衡努力的一部分，將在8月份自愿減少50萬桶/日的石油供應，將其對全球市場的出口量削減50萬桶。

在正常情況下，這些綜合消息本應使價格上漲至少一周，但本周市場對這一消息的反應持續了不到一天。

在撰寫本文時，布倫特原油開盤下跌，而WTI上漲了一個多百分點。

三菱JFG分析師對路透表示，由于對全球經濟放緩以及美國和歐洲進一步加息的擔憂揮之不去，油價再次承壓。

彭博社指出，交易員將關注沙特阿拉伯能源大臣在今天晚些時候舉行的第八屆歐佩克國際研討會上的講話，以進一步了解該組織的未來計劃。

與此同時，澳大利亞聯邦銀行(Commonwealth Bank of Australia)指出，人們的注意力可能很快就會轉向全球石油庫存狀況，因為路透調查預計，美國石油協會(API)今天晚些時候將公布連續第三周庫存下降。

Oil Prices Diverge As Uncertainty Persists

*Uncertainty is rampant in oil markets, with traders struggling to balance economic uncertainty with continued supply cuts and the rising cost of capital.

*While Brent briefly jumped on the news of further cuts from Saudi Arabia and the bigger producer , it was falling back in early trade on Wednesday.

*WTI diverged from Brent in early trade on Wednesday, moving higher by more than a dollar but remaining below $71.

Crude oil prices, which had been rallying on the news that Saudi Arabia will extend its production cuts, began trade on Wednesday with a slight decline before WTI jumped even higher while Brent remained in the red.

Uncertainty in oil markets has traders struggling to balance economic risks with supply cuts, although those aren’t their only concerns. A new analysis by the Financial Times suggests that the rising cost of capital is keeping prices depressed while leaving the market more vulnerable to shocks in the future.

On the supply side, Saudi Arabia announced earlier this week that it will extend its voluntary cut of 1 million bpd in production to August and likely beyond. While the news did not come as a surprise, the size of the cuts prompted a positive response from the market.

“This additional voluntary cut comes to reinforce the precautionary efforts made by OPEC Plus countries with the aim of supporting the stability and balance of oil market,” the Saudis said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the bigger producer said the country will reduce exports by half a million barrels daily next month.

As part of the efforts to ensure a balanced market, the bigger producer will voluntarily reduce its oil supply in August by 500,000 barrels per day by cutting its exports to global markets by that quantity”.

The combination of these reports should have sent prices higher for at least a week under normal circumstances but this week the market’s reaction to the news lasted less than a day.

At the time of writing, Brent crude was trading with a decline from opening while West Texas Intermediate was up by more than a percentage point.

"Oil prices came under pressure again due to lingering worries over a slowdown in the global economy and further hikes of interest rates in the United States and Europe," a Mitsubishi JFG analyst told Reuters.

Bloomberg noted that traders will be tuning into the Saudi Arabian energy minister’s address to the 8th OPEC International Seminar later today to get more insight into the group’s future plans.

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia, meanwhile, pointed out that attention may soon shift to the state of global oil inventories, as a Reuters poll predicted the API will later today report a third weekly inventory decline in a row.
