據中東北非財經新聞網2022年5月15日報道，5月13日，布倫特原油期貨價格上漲4.10美元，報收于每桶111.55美元。 美國西得克薩斯中質（WTI）原油期貨價格上漲4.36美元，報收于110.49美元。 本周WTI原油上漲0.7%，布倫特原油下跌0.7%。

在美國，上周庫存連續第6周下降，汽油期貨價格飆升至歷史最高水平。 這導致汽油裂解價差（衡量煉油利潤率的一個指標）推高至自2020年4月創紀錄以來的最高水平，當時WTI收于負值區間。

不斷承壓的油價，加上通脹和利率上升，上周推動美元兌一籃子貨幣匯率升至近20年高點，使得以其他貨幣購買石油的成本更高。

亞洲現貨液化天然氣（LNG）價格上周微跌，盡管來自日本、韓國和印度的公用事業公司和交易商進行了一些現貨采購活動，以補充庫存。

業內消息人士稱，6月份交付到東北亞的LNG平均價格估計為每百萬英熱單位23.35美元，比前一周低約0.55美元。  

在歐洲，天然氣供應問題主導了市場情緒，LNG價格與基準荷蘭TTF天然氣的價格繼續以創紀錄的折扣進行交易。分析師表示，6月份向西北歐交付的歐洲LNG價格為每百萬英熱單位22.15美元，相當于比6月份TTF合同每百萬英熱單位折扣10美元。

Asian LNG Prices Ease Despite Firm Demand

Brent futures rose $4.10, to settle at $111.55 a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude rose $4.36, to settle at $110.49. For the week, WTI gained 0.7 percent, while Brent fell 0.7 percent.

In the US, gasoline futures soared to an all-time high after stockpiles fell last week for a sixth straight week. That boosted the gasoline crack spread - a measure of refining profit margins - to its highest since it hit a record in April 2020 when WTI finished in negative territory.

Pressuring oil prices, coupled with inflation and rate rises, drove the US dollar, last week, to a near 20-year high against a basket of currencies, making oil more expensive when purchased in other currencies.

Asian spot liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices inched down last week despite some spot procurement activities by utilities and traders from Japan, Korea, and India to replenish stocks.

The average LNG price for June delivery into north-east Asia was estimated at $23.35 per metric million British thermal units (mmBtu), around $0.55 lower than the previous week, industry sources said.

In Europe, LNG prices continued to trade at a record discount to Benchmark Dutch TTF gas, European LNG prices were assessed at $22.15 per mmBtu for June deliveries to Northwest Europe, equivalent to a $10 per mmBtu discount to the June TTF contract, analysts said.
