美元疲软 油价上涨

在亚洲交易日的周二早间，美元疲软，油价则继续走高，但分析家提醒道，中东和非洲地区的新增供应可能会给油价带来压力。

纽约商品交易所六月交付的低硫轻质原油期货的成交价为每桶42.94美元，上涨了0.29美元。伦敦ICE期货交易所六月交付的布伦特原油的成交价为44.77美元，上涨了0.29美元。

报告显示，美国库存及科威特、沙特阿拉伯、利比亚的额外供应量皆有增长，于是一夜之间油价暴跌。

利比亚东部联邦政府表示，其石油公司已经在南非国际石油公司的压力下运出了第一船原油。船上共有65万桶原油，在马萨哈利加港口装载，然后在周一离开利比亚。

花旗期货能源分析家 Tim Evans 表示：“截至六月，科威特可能每天增加产15万桶，沙特的某片油田也增产了25万桶/日，但交易员似乎对此毫不关心。” OptionsXpress市场分析家Aaron Lynch认为，亚洲市场上行的原因可能是美元走弱和资产转换，因为投资者们正将资金从股票转移至大宗商品。

华尔街日报的美元指数下跌了0.09%，达到86.42美元。支撑价格的另一个原因是交易员认为夏天原油的需求会增加，美国原油的库存会减少。

普氏能源分析家的调查显示，在4月22日那一周中，美国原油可能会增加80万桶，而汽油的库存会减少130万桶。

普氏能源分析家表示：“对炼油厂的急切需求以及美国原油产量的下降缓解了原油进口导致的压力。”

美国能源情报署的官方报告将于周三发布。

但分析家警告道，原油市场的基本面仍是看涨的，未来仍是动荡的。

飞利浦期货亚洲大宗商品经理Avtar Sandu 说道：“虽然原油在过去的六个月中呈上升趋势，但供大于求的情况仍不乐观。不久后，市场将出现大幅修正。”

纽约商品交易所五月交付的新配方汽油合约上涨了110个点，达到每加仑1.5241美元，而五月交付的柴油则上涨了142个点，达到1.3045美元。

周一会议之后，ICE五月交付的汽油的成交价下跌了4.25美元，达到每吨388.75美元。

Oil prices get a boost as dollar weakens

Crude-oil prices edged higher in early Asian trade Tuesday on U.S. dollar weakness but analysts caution a raft of new supplies from the Middle East and Africa are expected to put a strain on prices.

On the New York Mercantile Exchange, light, sweet crude futures for delivery in June CLM6, +0.26%  traded at $42.94 a barrel, up $0.29, or 0.7% in the Globex electronic session. June Brent crude LCOM6, +0.31%  on London’s ICE Futures exchange rose $0.29, or 0.7%, to $44.77 a barrel.

Oil prices dropped overnight on reports of growing inventories in the U.S. and extra supplies coming from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Libya.

A government that controls Libya’s eastern half said its oil company has loaded its first shipment of oil over the objections of the North African nation’s internationally recognized oil company. The first shipment of 650,000 barrels of crude to leave Libya on Monday was loaded at the Marsa al-Hariga port near the Egyptian border and is now sailing toward Malta, said a spokesman for the east’s oil company.

“Traders seemed unconcerned by indications that Kuwait might raise oil production by 150,000 barrels a day by June or that Saudi Arabia was boosting capacity at one of its oil fields by 250,000 barrels a day,” said Tim Evans, a Citi Futures energy analyst.

The upward momentum in Asia was likely buoyed by weaker U.S. dollar and rotations of assets as investors move their funds from equities into the commodity complex, said Aaron Lynch, a market analyst at OptionsXpress.

According to the Wall Street Journal Dollar index BUXX, -0.09%  , which compares the dollar to 16 currencies, the greenback was last down 0.09% or 8 cents at $86.42.

Another factor supporting the prices could be the market anticipating a drawdown or smaller growth in U.S. crude inventories ahead of the seasonal summer demand for gasoline.

A survey of analysts by Platts showed U.S. crude likely rose 800,000 barrels while gasoline stocks fell 1.3 million barrels in the week ended April 22.

“Strong refinery demand, as well as U.S. crude oil production declines, mitigated the size of recent crude builds that were driven mostly by crude imports,” said Platts.

Official data will be released by the Energy Information Administration on Wednesday.

However, as the fundamentals of the oil markets remains bearish, analysts warn of volatile times ahead.

“Although the oil has shown more bullishness in the last six month the supply glut is still dire. We might see a sharp correction in the market soon,” said Avtar Sandu, Asian commodities manager at Phillip Futures.

Nymex reformulated gasoline blendstock for May RBK6, +0.45% — the benchmark gasoline contract — rose 110 points to $1.5241 a gallon, while May diesel traded at $1.3045, 142 points higher.

ICE gas oil for May changed hands at $388.75 a metric ton, down $4.25 from Monday’s settlement.
