據7月26日oil now消息：油價周一下跌1美元，原因是對新冠肺炎疫情蔓延和亞洲進口規則變化引發的燃料需求的擔憂，抵消了今年剩余時間供應緊張的預期。

　　格林威治時間08:50時，9月份布倫特原油期貨下跌97美分，至每桶73.13美元，跌幅1.3%；美國德克薩斯中質原油期貨跌1.07美元，至每桶71美元。

　　冠狀病毒病例在周末繼續上升，一些國家報告了創紀錄的每日增長，并延長了可能減緩石油需求的封鎖措施。

　　強勁的美國需求和供應緊張的預期幫助這兩種合約從上周一7%的暴跌中反彈，上周出現了2-3周以來的首次上漲。

　　盡管石油輸出國組織及其盟國決定在今年剩余時間內提高產量，但預計全球石油市場仍將處于赤字狀態。

　　美國商品期貨交易委員會的一份報告顯示，截至7月20日當周，基金經理削減了美國原油期貨和期權的凈多頭倉位。

　　石油經紀商PVM的Stephen Brennock表示:“石油市場將繼續經歷供需缺口。”

　　“盡管這將使價格保持在最低水平，但這并不是說它們將從當前水平強勁反彈。這是因為大流行引發的需求擔憂并未完全失去對市場情緒的控制。”

　　Oil falls by $1 amid fuel demand concerns

　　Oil prices fell $1 on Monday as concerns about fuel demand caused by the spread of COVID-19 variantsas well aschanges to import rules in?Asia offset expectations of tight supplies through the rest of the year.

　　Brent crude futures for September fell 97 cents, or 1.3%, to $73.13 a barrel by 0850 GMT while U.S. Texas Intermediate crude was at $71 a barrel, down $1.07.

　　Strong U.S. demand and expectations of tight supplies have helped both contracts recover from a 7% slump last Monday to mark their first gains in 2-3 weeks last week.

　　Global oil markets are expected to remain in deficit despite a decision by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies to raise production through the rest of the year.

　　Previous Monday’s sell-off also came on the heels of a report by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) which showed money managers cut their net long U.S. crude futures and options positions in the week to July 20.

　　“The oil market should continue to experience a significant deficit in terms of supply versus demand,” said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM.

　　“As much as this will keep a floor under prices, that is not to say that they will rally strongly from current levels. This is because pandemic-fuelled demand fears have not completely lost their grip on market sentiment.”
