据离岸工程网站12月24日 布伦特原油期货周五在假日交易清淡的情况下结束了为期三天的上涨，但基准价格仍将每周上涨，市场关注欧佩克+的下一步措施和病毒奥密克戎的影响。

格林威治标准时间07:41，布伦特原油期货下跌41美分（0.5%），至每桶76.44美元，此前一个交易日上涨2.1%。基准指数价格仍有望周上涨约4%。

美国股市周五因圣诞节休市。

随着对高传染性奥密克戎变种对全球经济影响的担忧消退，油价本周已经回升，早期数据表明，它会导致更轻微的疾病。

Sunward Trading首席分析师Chiyoki Chen表示：“这是一个典型的假日市场。”

他表示：“随着对奥密克戎影响的担忧消退，市场焦点转移到欧佩克+在1月份会议上的下一步行动。”

Chiyoki Chen补充称，欧佩克+及其包括俄罗斯在内的盟友可能会在下次会议上坚持其决定，即只要油价保持在每桶70美元以上，就将每月增产40万桶。

该小组定于明年1月4日举行会议。

尽管如此，在感染病例激增的情况下，一些投资者仍然保持谨慎。

Oil Prices Ease in Holiday Trade, Market Focus on Next OPEC+ Move

Brent crude futures snapped a three-day rally on Friday in light holiday trading but the benchmark was still headed for a weekly gain, with the market focusing on next steps by OPEC+ and the impact of the Omicron variant.

Brent crude futures slid 41 cents, or 0.5%, to $76.44 a barrel by 0741 GMT, following a 2.1% gain in the previous session. The benchmark was still on track for a weekly gain of about 4%.

U.S. markets are closed on Friday for the Christmas holiday.

Oil prices have recovered this week as fears over the impact of the highly infectious Omicron variant on the global economy receded, with early data suggesting it causes a milder level of illness.

"It's a typical holiday market," said Chiyoki Chen, chief analyst at Sunward Trading.

"With concerns about the fallout from Omicron fading, market focus shifted to the next move by OPEC+ at its January meeting," he said.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia, known as OPEC+, will likely stick to its decision to raise oil production by 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) each month at its next meeting as long as oil prices stay above $70 a barrel, Chen added.

The group is scheduled to meet next on Jan. 4.

Still, some investors remained cautious amid surging infection cases.
