據彭博社1月4日報道，市場預計歐佩克(OPEC)將同意在2月再次增產，油價出現波動。

紐約期貨市場在每桶76美元上下波動。代表們表示，歐佩克+將在周二會議上批準2月份每日增產40萬桶的計劃。盡管有人擔心，疫情爆發可能會削弱需求。

歐佩克+總體供需形勢看起來有所好轉，由于競爭對手產量增長放緩，該組織下調了對第一季度盈余預期。最近幾周，石油生產國出現了一連串供應問題。

石油市場結構仍處于看漲的現貨溢價狀態，這表明供應繼續緊張。投資者也在回歸，基金經理上周加大了對布倫特原油看漲押注，幅度為7月以來最高水平。

荷蘭銀行(ABN Amro)高級能源經濟學家漢斯?范?克里夫(Hans van Cleef)表示，“我不認為歐佩克+會帶來太多驚喜，隨著越來越多的生產商開始陷入困境，最大的挑戰開始是實際實現理論上的產量上升”。

價格方面

倫敦時間上午10:02，西德克薩斯中質原油上漲0.5%，至每桶76.46美元。布倫特原油3月份結算價也上漲0.5%，至每桶79.34美元

根據彭博社報告顯示，代表部長們分析市場的歐佩克+聯合技術委員會(OPEC+ Joint Technical Committee)預計，2022年前三個月將出現每天140萬桶的盈余，比一個月前的預期減少了約25%。

Oil fluctuates near US$76 ahead of OPEC+ meeting on supply policy

Oil fluctuated before an OPEC+ meeting that’s expected to see the alliance agree to another output boost next month.

Futures in New York swung between gains and losses near US$76 a barrel. OPEC+ is set to ratify a 400,000-barrel-a-day increase for February when it gathers on Tuesday, delegates said. That’s despite concerns that demand could be weakened by virus flare-ups, including in China, the biggest oil importer.

The overall supply-demand backdrop is looking better for OPEC+, with the cartel cutting estimates for a surplus in the first quarter amid slower output growth from its rivals. Recent weeks have seen a litany of supply issues in producing. 

Oil’s market structure remains in a bullish backwardation pattern, which indicates continued tightness of supply. Speculators have also been returning, with money managers last week boosting bullish bets on Brent by the most since July. 

“I don’t expect much surprise” from OPEC+, said Hans van Cleef, senior energy economist at ABN Amro. “The biggest challenge is starting to be to actually implement the theoretical rise in production as more and more producers start to struggle.”

Prices

West Texas Intermediate rose 0.5 per cent to US$76.46 a barrel at 10:02 a.m. London time

Brent for March settlement also gained 0.5 per cent to trade at US$79.34

The OPEC+ Joint Technical Committee, which analyzes the market on behalf of ministers, sees a surplus of 1.4 million barrels a day in the first three months of 2022, about 25 per cent less than it estimated a month ago, according to a report seen by Bloomberg.
