據油價網10月13日報道，美國能源信息署(EIA)報告稱，截至10月7日的一周，美國原油庫存大幅增加了990萬桶，隨后原油價格走低，但這一跌勢并未持續太久。 

美國原油庫存現為4.391億桶，比5年同期平均水平低1%。一周前，美國原油庫存減少140萬桶。  

在燃料方面，EIA報告的變化喜憂參半。上周美國汽油庫存增加200萬桶，而前一周則減少470萬桶。上周汽油平均日產量為920萬桶，而前一周為1000萬桶。在餾分燃料方面，EIA估計截至10月7日當周庫存減少490萬桶。 相比之下，前一周庫存減少340萬桶。

上周餾分燃料平均日產量為490萬桶，而前一周為520萬桶。 上周煉油廠日均加工量為1570萬桶，開工率為89.9%。

即便如此，無論是在美國還是在歐洲，餾分油庫存仍然相當匱乏。這導致了大西洋兩岸柴油價格的飆升，彭博社報道稱，加州的柴油價格達到每桶190美元，紐約港接近每桶170美元。  

伍德麥肯茲研究主管馬克·威廉姆斯對彭博社表示：“目前全球柴油市場非常強勁。”他補充稱：“柴油價格上漲有可能造成更大的通脹壓力，特別是如果目前的價格飆升持續下去，將給需求帶來重大下行風險，并增加全球經濟衰退的可能性。”

與此同時，盡管歐佩克+決定日減產約100萬桶，并將日產量目標削減200萬桶，但對經濟衰退的擔憂仍打壓了油價，油價持續低迷。

Oil Jumps Despite Major Crude Inventory Build

Crude oil prices moved lower today after the Energy Information Administration reported a crude oil inventory build of 9.9 million barrels for the week to October 7, but the move lower didn't last long.

At 439.1 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are 1 percent below the five-year average for this time of the year. A week earlier, inventories recorded a draw of 1.4 million barrels.

In fuels, the EIA reported mixed changes.

Gasoline stocks added 2 million barrels last week, which compared with a 4.7-million-barrel decline for the previous week. Production averaged 9.2 million barrels daily last week, which compared with 10 million bpd a week earlier.

In distillate fuels, the EIA estimated an inventory draw of 4.9 million barrels for the week to October 7. This compared with a draw of 3.4 million barrels for the previous week.

Distillate fuel production averaged 4.9 million barrels daily last week, which compared with 5.2 million bpd the previous week.

Refineries processed an average of 15.7 million bpd last week, operating at a utilization rate of 89.9 percent.

Even so, distillate stocks remain rather depleted, both in the United States and in Europe. This has led to a spike in diesel prices on both sides of the Atlantic, with Bloomberg reporting prices of $190 on a barrel-equivalent basis in California and nearly $170 in the New York Harbor.

“The global diesel market is very strong at the moment,” Mark Williams, research director at Wood Mackenzie told Bloomberg.

“Higher diesel prices have the potential to create even stronger inflationary pressures, especially if the current price spike is sustained, adding significant downside risk to demand and increasing the chances of a global recession,” he added.

Meanwhile, oil prices remain subdued as recession fears weighed down on them despite the OPEC+ decision to reduce production by about 1 million bpd and production targets by 2 million bpd.
