据彭博社2月4日报道,此前欧佩克委员会表示,石油市场正在重新恢复平衡,3月份,沙特阿拉伯维持其亚洲主要市场的油价不变。不过,沙特阿美提高了销往美国和欧洲的所有级别石油的价格。
1月份,沙特宣布了在2月和3月单方面额外减产100万桶/天的计划,令市场感到意外。这一承诺帮助基准的布伦特原油价格,在今年以来上涨了近15%,达到每桶59美元左右。
但即便如此,炼油商的利润率仍很低,因为最新的疫情抑制了许多主要经济体的燃油消费。
沙特阿美将所有对美国销售的石油价格上调了10美分/桶。对欧洲销售的石油价格上调了每桶1.30美元或1.40美元。值得注意的是,该公司面向亚洲市场的关键阿拉伯轻质原油售价仍较其基准价格高出1美元/桶。

Saudis Leave Asia Oil Pricing Unchanged, While Raising for U.S.
Saudi Arabia kept oil pricing for its main market of Asia unchanged in March, after a key OPEC+ committee expressed confidence that the oil market is re-balancing.
State oil producer Saudi Aramco raised prices for all grades sold to customers in the U.S. and Europe.
The nation surprised markets last month by announcing plans to unilaterally slash 1 million barrels a day of oil supply in February and March. The pledge has helped buoy benchmark Brent crude by almost 15% this year to around $59 a barrel.
Even so, refiners’ profit margins are tight, with the latest virus waves curbing fuel use in many major economies.
Aramco raised all pricing to the U.S. by 10 cents a barrel. Prices to Europe increased by $1.30 or $1.40 a barrel. Its key Arab light grade for Asia will remain at a $1 premium to the benchmark it uses.
