上周油价跌破19美元/桶

据4月18日Financial Tribune报道，前所未有的减产规模并未减轻市场对原油需求的悲观预期，纽约市场原油期货价格跌至每桶19美元以下。

欧佩克预计，原油需求将降至30年来的最低水平。国际能源署(IEA)预计，今年的石油使用量将创下历史新低，2020年或将成为历史上最糟糕的一年。

随着人们越来越担心俄克拉荷马州库欣（Cushing）这一重要储油中心的库存将达到满负荷状态，美国石油期货面临巨大压力。这导致美国石油期货与伦敦布伦特原油期货日益脱节。数据显示，布伦特原油期货合约价格上周五估值为18.86美元/桶，而现货合约的折价幅度则更大。

欧佩克及其合作伙伴达成的减产970万桶/天的创纪录协议未能重振市场。

Weak Demand Pushes Crude Oil Below $19

il fell below $19 per barrel in New York after a wave of gloomy demand forecasts and a cratering physical market outweighed an unprecedented deal to cut output.

OPEC expects demand for its crude will fall to the lowest in three decades, and the International Energy Agency predicted that oil use would slump by a record this year and potentially make 2020 the worst in the market’s history.

US oil futures have come under huge pressure as concerns grow that stockpiles at the key storage hub of Cushing, Oklahoma will fill to capacity.

That has increasingly disconnected it with Brent futures in London. Dated Brent was assessed at $18.86 on Friday, according to S&P Global Platts, far below futures prices, and real cargoes are trading at even steeper discounts to that.

A record deal by OPEC and its partners to cut production by 9.7 million barrels a day is falling short of reviving the market.
