???? 據世界石油3月8日迪拜報道，在歐佩克＋延長石油供應限制后，沙特阿拉伯提高了下個月運往亞洲和美國的原油價格，這表明現貨市場趨緊。

????這表明盡管周四歐佩克+決定維持原油供應基本不變，沙特認為需求仍將繼續增長，使布倫特原油價格上漲。

????國有石油生產商沙特阿美將面向其最大市場亞洲地區的阿拉伯輕質原油價格上調40美分，至每桶比基準高出1.40美元。彭博社對交易商和煉油商的調查顯示，在上周歐佩克+的意外宣布之前，外界曾預計沙特阿美將保持該品位原油的價格不變。

????沙特阿美上調了除重質原油以外的所有銷往亞洲的原油價格。

????歐佩克及其盟國在3月4日的一次會議上決定，他們將堅持今年迄今支撐市場的減產計劃。沙特承諾將至少從4月份開始的每日減產100萬桶的單方面措施延長，這也推動基準油價升至近70美元/桶的近兩年高點。

????沙特阿美原本打算在下個月提高石油產量，恢復其單方面削減的2月和3月每日100萬桶的產量。然而與之相反的是，沙特采取了更加謹慎的做法，不愿冒著因受疫情影響的經濟體放緩需求增長而侵蝕價格漲幅的風險。

????此項決議的例外俄羅斯將在下個月增加一些產量。沙特阿美下調了對歐洲的定價，歐洲原油價格在很大程度上追隨了俄羅斯烏拉爾(Urals)原油的價格。俄羅斯希望增加產量，以防止美國生產商增加產量并奪取市場份額。

????Saudis raise U.S. and Asian crude prices for April delivery

????Saudi Arabia raised pricing for its crude for shipment to Asia and the U.S. next month after OPEC+ extended oil supply constraints, pointing to a tightening physical market.

????It suggests the Saudis see demand growth continuing even after Thursday’s shock OPEC+ decision to keep oil supply largely unchanged sent Brent crude higher.

????State oil producer Saudi Aramco increased pricing for Arab Light crude for Asia, its largest regional market, by 40 cents a barrel to $1.40 more than the benchmark. Ahead of last week’s OPEC+ surprise, Aramco had been expected to keep pricing for the grade unchanged, according to a Bloomberg survey of traders and refiners.

????Aramco raised all other pricing to Asia, except for its Heavy crude which remained unchanged.

????The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia decided at a meeting March 4 that they would be sticking with the output cuts that have buoyed the market so far this year. The Saudi pledge to extend a unilateral 1 million barrel-a-day cut through at least April also helped spur the benchmark to an almost two-year high at nearly $70 a barrel.

????The world’s biggest exporter had intended to boost production next month by adding back the 1 million barrels a day of oil that it unilaterally slashed for February and March. Instead, the kingdom took the path of greater caution, not risking an erosion in price gains if pandemic-hobbled economies ease off on demand growth.

????The exception to the decision was Russia, which will be able to add some production next month. Aramco is cutting pricing to Europe, where its barrels largely track the cost of Russian Urals crude. Russia wants to add production to prevent U.S. producers from adding output and capturing market share.
