中国石化新闻网讯 据钻机地带5月5日报道，油价连续第三周下跌，因为交易量低迷加剧了对需求疲软的担忧。

西得克萨斯中质原油价格上周五收于每桶71美元以上，本周交易波动范围处于13美元区间，原因是美国地区贷款机构再次出现不稳定，人们担心经济将陷入衰退。这一连串的周跌幅是今年以来最长的。

实物石油市场走强的迹象表明，抛售可能过于严重，其中也包括短暂、戏剧性地暴跌至2021年以来的最低盘中水平。壳牌公司首席执行官Wael Sawan周四表示，市场实际上“相当紧张”。

PVM石油联合公司（PVM oil Associates Ltd.）分析师Stephen Brennock表示：“有充分的理由看涨——问题是石油交易员是一群变化无常的人。”“欧佩克减产、非欧佩克+的供应低迷以及亚洲建设性需求状况再次成为焦点只是时间问题。”

今年油价下跌了约11%，这表明石油输出国组织及其盟友从本月开始减产以重新控制市场的计划尚未奏效。这些损失是由对全球经济增长放缓的担忧造成的，这可能会损害能源需求。

价格：

纽约6月交货的WTI上涨2.78美元，收于71.34美元。

7月交割的布伦特原油价格上涨2.80美元，收于每桶75.30美元。

在中东，伊拉克表示，它尚未与土耳其达成协议，以恢复伊拉克每天通过该国出口近50万桶石油。自3月下旬以来，库尔德地区的僵局已经中止了经由杰伊汉港的货运航线。

Oil Futures Lose Ground Again on the Week

Oil fell for the third straight week as concerns about softening demand were exacerbated by low trading volumes.

West Texas Intermediate settled above $71 a barrel on Friday after trading in a $13 range this week amid renewed instability among regional US lenders and fears the economy is headed into a recession. The string of weekly declines is the longest this year.

Signs of strength in the physical oil market suggest the selloff — which included a brief, dramatic plunge to the lowest intraday level since 2021 — may have been excessive. Shell Plc Chief Executive Officer Wael Sawan said on Thursday that the market was actually "pretty tight."

"There is good reason to be bullish — the trouble is that oil traders are a fickle bunch," said Stephen Brennock, an analyst at PVM Oil Associates Ltd. "It will only be a matter of time before OPEC production cuts, lackluster supply from non-OPEC+ and the constructive demand picture in Asia take center stage once more."

Oil prices have dropped about 11% this year, showing that a plan by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies to regain control of the market by cutting output starting this month isn’t yet working. The losses have been driven by concerns that global growth is slowing, potentially hurting energy demand.

Prices:

WTI for June delivery rose $2.78 to settle at $71.34 in New York.

Brent for July settlement gained $2.80 to settle at $75.30 a barrel.

In the Middle East, Iraq said it has yet to strike a deal with Turkey that would allow for the resumption of almost half a million barrels a day of Iraqi oil exports through the country. The standoff between Baghdad and the Kurd Regional has halted shipments from the port of Ceyhan since late March.
