据能源之声4月7日消息，在国际能源署表示美国盟国将从库存中部署6000万桶原油后，西得克萨斯中质原油在周三下跌超过5美元后，上涨至每桶98美元。此前，美国已经宣布释放1.8亿桶原油。
过去六周，油价一直受到剧烈波动的冲击。为了应对这场战争，华盛顿及其盟友一直试图在经济上采取行动阻止能源价格上涨，而能源价格上涨已经加剧了通胀。原油的综合排放规模是前所未有的。
Oanda Asia Pacific Pte的高级市场分析师Jeffrey Halley说：“看起来亚洲买家正在利用较低的价格。战争仍在继续，制裁正在收紧，因此即使发布了这些战略石油储备，石油供应仍然存在结构性短缺。”
石油交易商也在评估美联储鹰派转向的后果，因为政策制定者控制了他们为缓解疫情影响而部署的支持。除了加息外，美联储还表示将以每月最多950亿美元的速度减持债券。
价格
伦敦上午7点02分，纽约商品交易所5月交割的西得克萨斯中质原油价格上涨1.7% 至每桶97.84美元。
欧洲洲际交易所6月交割的布伦特原油价格上涨1.9%，至每桶103.00美元，周三下跌5.2%。
尽管石油市场仍处于现货溢价状态，这是一种看涨模式，即近期合约比远期合约更昂贵，但随着交易商重新评估前景，最近几天关键价差已显著收窄。布伦特原油的即时价差——最接近的两个合约之间的差价——为每桶89美分的现货溢价，低于一周前的3.20美元。

Oil snaps back after sliding on back of IEA reserve release plan
West Texas Intermediate rose toward $98 a barrel after retreating by more than $5 on Wednesday after the International Energy Agency said that U.S. allies will deploy 60 million barrels from stockpiles. That’s on top of the 180 million-barrel release already announced.
Oil has been wracked by intense volatility over the past six weeks . In response to the war, Washington and its allies have been trying to punish Russia economically, while also moving to stem the rise in energy prices that’s fanning already-elevated inflation. The scale of the combined crude releases is unprecedented.
“It looks like Asian buyers are taking advantage of lower prices,” said Jeffrey Halley, a senior market analyst at Oanda Asia Pacific Pte. “The war is still going on, sanctions are tightening, and there is still a structural deficit in oil supplies because of that, even with these SPR releases.”
Oil traders were also assessing the consequences of a hawkish pivot from the Federal Reserve as policy makers rein in the support they deployed to cushion the impact of the pandemic. In addition to rate rises, the Fed signaled it will reduce its bond holdings at a maximum pace of $95 billion a month.
Prices
West Texas Intermediate for May delivery rose 1.7% to $97.84 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 7:02 a.m. in London.
Brent for June settlement climbed 1.9% to $103.00 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange after dropping 5.2% on Wednesday.
While oil markets are still in backwardation, a bullish pattern where near-term contracts are more expensive that later-dated ones, there’s been a significant narrowing of key differentials in recent days as traders reassess the outlook. Brent’s prompt spread — the gap between its two nearest contracts — was 89 cents a barrel in backwardation, down from $3.20 a week ago.
