???? 據CNBC網站2月25日消息：受貨幣寬松政策和美國原油產量下降的支撐，周四油價連續第四個交易日上漲，至13個月以來的最高水平。

????格林尼治標準時間04:00時，4月布倫特原油期貨價格上漲19美分，至每桶67.23美元，漲幅0.3％，而4月美國西德克薩斯中質原油期貨上漲824美分，漲幅0.38%，至每桶63.46美元。

????這兩份合約在早盤觸及2020年1月以來的最高水平，布倫特原油價格為67.44美元，西德克薩斯中質原油價格為63.67美元。

????美聯儲保證利率將在一段時間內保持低位，這提振了投資者的風險偏好和全球金融市場。

????荷蘭國際集團分析師在一份報告中表示:“美聯儲主席杰羅姆·鮑威爾本周早些時候關于貨幣政策需要保持寬松的言論可能有所幫助，但石油市場的情緒也變得更加樂觀，并有望收緊石油平衡?！?/p>

????美國能源情報署表示，德克薩斯州罕見的冬季風暴導致上周美國原油產量下降逾10%，或每天減少100萬桶。

????全球最大石油消費國的燃料供應也可能收緊，因為其煉油廠原油投入降至2008年9月以來的最低水平。

????包括俄羅斯在內的石油輸出國組織(歐佩克+)定于3月4日召開會議。

????歐佩克+消息人士稱，鑒于油價回升，該組織將討論從4月開始適度放松石油供應限制，不過一些人士建議，鑒于抗擊疫情的戰斗可能再度受挫，暫時保持穩定。

????今年2月和3月，沙特阿拉伯額外的自愿減產收緊了全球供應，支撐了油價。

????Oil prices hit 13-month highs on tighter supplies, Fed assurance on low rates

????Oil prices rose for a fourth straight session on Thursday to the highest levels in more than 13 months, underpinned by monetary easing policies and lower crude production in the United States.

????Brent crude futures for April gained 19 cents, 0.3%, to $67.23 a barrel by 0400 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for April was at $63.46 a barrel, up 824cents, 0.38%.

????Both contracts touched their highest since January 2020 earlier in the session with Brent at $67.44 and WTI at $63.67.

????An assurance from the U.S. Federal Reserve that interest rates would stay low for a while boosted investors’ risk appetite and global financial markets.

????“Comments from Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell, earlier in the week relating to the need for monetary policy to remain accommodative have probably helped, but sentiment in the oil market has also become more bullish, with expectations for a tightening oil balance,” ING analysts said in a note.

????A rare winter storm in Texas has caused U.S. crude production to drop by more than 10%, or 1 million barrels per day (bpd) last week, the Energy Information Administration said.

????Fuel supplies in the world’s largest oil consumer could also tighten as its refinery crude inputs had dropped to the lowest since September 2008.

????The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies including Russia, a group known as OPEC+, is due to meet on March 4.

????The group will discuss a modest easing of oil supply curbs from April given a recovery in prices, OPEC+ sources said, although some suggest holding steady for now given the risk of new setbacks in the battle against the pandemic.

????Extra voluntary cuts by Saudi Arabia in February and March have tightened global supplies and supported prices.
