据彭博社5月17日报道，在对美国债务上限谈判持乐观态度的情况下，原油价格上涨，交易商们纷纷接纳高风险资产，而基本忽视了美国库存报告的看跌因素。
周三，原油价格稳定在每桶72美元以上，因为市场对提高美国政府支出限制的协议可能性抱有希望，这在全球市场上推动了更广泛的风险偏好情绪。然而，一份看跌的报告显示，上周美国原油库存增加了超过500万桶，是自今年1月以来最大增幅，这限制了一些涨势。
帝国商业银行私人财富管理部门（Private Wealth）的高级能源交易员Rebecca Babin表示：“今天的交易行为证明了基本面实际上处于次要位置。如果不是直接看跌的话，数据令人失望；但原油价格保持稳定，因为风险偏好态势塑造了宏观交易环境。”
今年以来，由于全球经济复苏速度较慢、美联储实施积极的货币紧缩政策以及对美国债务上限的担忧，原油价格下跌了约9.4%。然而，美国4月份零售销售增长，表明在经济逆风面前，全球最大经济体的消费支出依然坚挺。

Oil Rises Amid Broader Risk On Sentiment
Oil advanced as traders embraced risky assets amid optimism for the US debt-ceiling talks, largely ignoring a bearish US stockpile report.
Crude settled above $72 a barrel on Wednesday as hopes that a deal to raise the US government’s spending limit is possible drove a broader risk-on sentiment across markets. Capping some of the gains was a bearish report that showed US stockpiles rising more than 5 million barrels last week, the biggest increase since January.
“Trading action today kind of proves that fundamentals are really in the backseat,” said Rebecca Babin, a senior energy trader at CIBC Private Wealth. “The dataset was underwhelming — if not outright bearish — but crude is holding up as a risk-on tone shapes the macro trading environment.”
Crude is down about 9.4% this year as the world's slower-than-expected recovery, the Federal Reserve’s aggressive monetary tightening campaign and concerns over the US debt ceiling weigh on the outlook. Still, US retail sales rose in April, suggesting that consumer spending in the world’s biggest economy is holding up in the face of economic headwinds.
