美国取暖油期货价格保持在每加仑2.47美元以上,暂停了从1月17日9个月高点2.63美元的回落,因为馏分油库存的急剧下降抵消了原油原料成本的上涨。最新的EIA报告显示,馏分油库存意外减少310万桶,与截至1月17日的一周增加60万桶的预测相悖。然而,由于美国原油库存增加、特朗普总统呼吁欧佩克降价以及围绕贸易和能源政策的市场不确定性,取暖油价格面临原油价格下跌的下行压力。
U.S. heating oil futures held above $2.47 per gallon, pausing the retreat from a nine-month high of $2.63 on January 17th, as a sharp decline in distillate stockpiles offset rising crude oil feedstock costs. The latest EIA report showed an unexpected 3.1 million-barrel draw in distillate inventories, defying forecasts of a 0.6 million-barrel build for the week ending January 17th. However, heating oil prices faced downward pressure from declining crude oil prices, driven by rising U.S. crude inventories, President Trump's call for OPEC to cut prices, and market uncertainties surrounding trade and energy policies.
