中國石化新聞網訊 據紐約路透社12月8日消息，雖然美國原油庫存意外跳升，但基於新冠病毒疫苗的快速推出將推動全球石油需求復甦的樂觀情緒影響，周三收盤油價並無大幅波動。
美國能源信息署（EIA）的數據顯示，上周美國原油庫存增加1520萬桶，已達到5.032億桶，低於路透社調查分析師預計的減少140萬桶的水平，當日油價下跌1%。
上周，由於出口下降，美國原油淨進口量每天增加270萬桶，達到記錄中最大增幅。
然而，該報告發布後，英國大規模接種疫苗新聞的出現以及美國食品藥品監督管理局批准美國冠狀病毒疫苗的好消息使市場走高。
布倫特原油價格上漲2美分，收於每桶48.86美元。美國西德克薩斯中質原油(WTI)下跌8美分，收於每桶45.52美元，跌幅0.2%。
紐約對衝基金Again Capital LLC的合伙人約翰·基爾達夫（John Kilduff）表示：「市場肯定處于震蕩狀態，但總體而言，這似乎是一份意外報告，市場可能察覺到未來更光明的前景。」
由外部顧問組成的小組成員將於周四投票決定是否建議FDA發布緊急授權使用由輝瑞公司和德國合作夥伴BioNTech SE開發的疫苗。
英國於周二開始大規模接種疫苗。其他國家將很快效仿的預期，幫助抵消了對全球冠狀病毒病例急劇增加的擔憂。這種擔憂已導致世界各地出臺新的行動限制，減少了對運輸燃料的需求。
美國汽油和餾分油庫存上周顯著上升，因煉油廠提高了產量。

Oil steadies despite massive build in U.S. crude stocks
Oil prices settled little changed on Wednesday as investors weighed an unexpected jump in U.S. crude stockpiles against optimism that a fast rollout of a coronavirus vaccine would fuel a recovery in global oil demand.
Prices fell 1% early in the session as data showed U.S. crude inventories rose by 15.2 million barrels to 503.2 million barrels last week, according to the Energy Information Administration, compared with analysts』 expectations in a Reuters poll for a 1.4 million-barrel drop. [EIA/S]
U.S. net imports of crude oil rose by 2.7 million barrels per day last week, the biggest increase on record, as exports plunged. [EIA/S]
However, the advent of mass inoculations in the United Kingdom and the prospect of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approving a coronavirus vaccine in the United States pushed markets higher following the report.
Brent crude rose 2 cents to settle at $48.86 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 8 cents, or 0.2%, to settle at $45.52 a barrel.
「The market is definitely in a state of shock, but overall this is looking like a fluke report and the market can detect brighter days ahead,」 said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital LLC in New York.
A panel of outside advisers will vote on Thursday on whether to recommend the FDA issue an emergency authorization for the use of the vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc and German partner BioNTech SE.
Britain began mass vaccinations on Tuesday. Expectations that others will soon follow helped offset fears about a sharp rise in coronavirus cases globally that has led to new restrictions on movements around the world, reducing demand for transportation fuel.
U.S. gasoline and distillate stockpiles were markedly higher last week as refineries boosted output.
「The significant increase in gasoline and distillate inventories is likely a result of lower oil demand post the Thanksgiving holiday, as well as additional stay at home measures across country,」 said Andrew Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates in Houston.
