美国库存数据公布前油价小幅下跌

据离岸工程10月29日报道，随着投资者等待美国原油库存数据以获取对石油需求趋势的更多了解，石油价格已经下跌。

据路透社报道，布伦特LCOc1原油期货下跌0.30美元，至每桶61.27美元，而美国西德克萨斯中质原油（WTI）的CLc1原油下跌0.40美元，至每桶55.41美元。

上周，由于美国库存下跌，油价上涨，但对经济增长疲软的担忧抵消了石油需求增长的希望。

根据路透社分析师的调查，上周美国原油库存总量预计将增加约70万桶。路透援引市场情报公司Gensscape的话称，截至10月25日的一周内，美国俄克拉荷马州库欣的库存小幅增加约150万桶。

投资者正在等待美国石油协会发布的行业数据以及EIA的库存数据。

Oil prices edge down ahead of US inventory data

Oil prices have declined as investors await US crude inventory data to obtain more insight on trends in oil demand.

Brent LCOc1 futures slipped $0.30s at $61.27 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) CLc1 crude declined $0.40 at $55.41 a barrel, reported Reuters.

Last week, oil prices increased due to a fall in US stockpiles, but worries about weaker economic growth had offset hopes of an increase in oil demand.

According to a Reuters poll of analysts, total crude inventories in the US were forecast to have increased by approximately 700,000 barrels last week. Reuters cited market intelligence firm Genscape as reporting that US inventory at Cushing, Oklahoma edged up by approximately 1.5 million barrels in the week that ended on 25 October.

Investors are awaiting industry data to be released by the American Petroleum Institute and the inventory data from the US Government’s Energy Information Administration.
