据彭博新闻社2023年6月6日报道，由于持续的经济不确定性给全球需求前景带来压力，油价出现下跌，抹去了沙特阿拉伯出人意料地承诺进一步减产后油价的短暂上涨。

6月6日，WTI中质原油报收于与上周五相同的收盘价，并迅速逆转了沙特阿拉伯上周末宣布减产所带来的油价涨幅。布伦特原油价格也随之下跌，仅比上周五每桶高出几美分。

韩国央行金融证券负责交易的高级副总裁丹尼斯·基斯勒表示，沙特阿拉伯的减产“将减少市场上的一些供应，但如果我们要看到更高的价格，需求将需要继续上升”。

在期货曲线上，2023年12月和2024年的WTI中质原油合约比上周五收盘下跌，这表明交易商并不担心长期供应。EIA月度《短期能源展望》报告显示，美国预计今年国内石油需求的增速只有去年的一半。这一下降主要是由于预计柴油需求将大幅下降。

沙特阿拉伯最近的减产是以向两个关键盟友让步为代价的：产能大国没有承诺进一步减产以及阿联酋明年获得了更高的产量配额。

沙特阿拉伯紧随其后，在同月提高了原油价格。这促使一些亚洲炼油商考虑从其他原油供应国购买更多原油。

价格： 

纽约7月交割的WTI中质原油期货价格每桶下跌41美分，报收于每桶71.74美元。

布伦特原油8月结算价每桶下跌42美分，报收于每桶76.29美元。

Saudi Cuts Fail to Sustain Rally

Oil fell as persistent economic uncertainty weighs on the outlook for demand, erasing a short-lived surge that followed Saudi Arabia’s surprise pledge to cut more production.

West Texas Intermediate settled Tuesday at the same closing price on Friday, effectively reversing the gain engineered by the Saudis with their weekend announcement. Brent also fell, settling just a few cents above Friday. 

Saudi Arabia’s production cuts “will take some supply off the market, but demand will need to continue to rise if we are to see much higher prices,” said Dennis Kissler, senior vice president of trading at BOK Financial Securities.

Further along the futures curve, WTI for December 2023 and 2024 contracts fell from Friday’s close, evidence that traders aren’t concerned about supplies in the longterm. The US sees domestic oil demand this year growing at half the rate of 2022, according to the Energy Information Administration’s monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook. The drop largely comes due to a projected slump in diesel demand.

The Kingdom’s most recent cut comes at the cost of ceding ground to two key allies: the largger producer, which made no commitment to cut output deeper, and the United Arab Emirates, which secured a higher production quota for 2024.

Saudi Arabia followed its move with an increase to its crude prices for the same month. That’s pushing some Asian refiners to consider buying more crude from other suppliers.

Prices:

WTI for July delivery slipped 41 cents to settle at $71.74 a barrel in New York.

Brent for August settlement declined 42 cents to $76.29 a barrel.
