汽油库存大幅下降刺激周三油价大幅反弹

本周油价跌至熊市，但低价吸引了逢低买入者，并让一些看跌的交易员了结头寸锁定利润，促使油价反弹。交易员和经纪商表示，这可能是周三上涨的主要原因，另外数据显示美国汽油库存降幅是预期的10倍，也帮助提振了油价。

纽约商业交易所(NYMEX)9月交割的美国WTI原油期货结算价上涨1.32美元为每桶40.83美元，涨幅3.3%。这是自7月12日以来的最大单日涨幅。伦敦洲际交易所(ICE)10月布伦特原油期货结算价上涨1.30美元为每桶43.10美元，涨幅3.1%。

美国能源情报署(EIA)周三公布的数据显示，汽油库存下降了330万桶，预期为仅下降30万桶。近几周汽油吸引了交易商的特别关注，因为汽油库存接近创纪录的高水平，而且全球范围积压了船货。

Oil Prices Rebound from Steep Fall

By Timothy Puko

Oil prices made their biggest gains in three weeks Wednesday with help from a surprisingly large draw on gasoline stocks and a bear-market rebound.

Oil plunged into a bear market this week, but the low prices have lured in bargain-buyers and convinced some bearish traders to close out and lock in profits, leading to sporadic rebounds. That is likely responsible for a large part of Wednesday's gains, along with some help from data showing a drain on U.S. gasoline stockpiles that was 10 times as large as expected, traders and brokers said.

Light, sweet crude for September delivery settled up $1.32, or 3.3%, to $40.83 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It was the largest gains since July 12. Brent, the global benchmark, gained $1.30, or 3.1%, to $43.10 a barrel.

Data released Wednesday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration also showed gasoline stockpiles fell by 3.3 million barrels, compared with expectations of just a 300,000-barrel draw. Gasoline has drawn special attention from traders in recent weeks as stockpiles are at near-record levels and cargoes have been backed up world-wide.
