油价在节日前后清淡交投中小幅走低,受疲软的美国就业数据和天然气期货回落影响。
WTI原油期货下跌0.7%,收于每桶70美元下方。美国天然气期货价格周四下跌逾5%,拖累整个能源市场,此前预测显示供暖需求低于预期。
美国持续申领失业救济人数升至三年多来的最高水平,导致更广泛的市场涨势暂停,也令原油承压。与此同时,较低的流动性加剧了价格的下行走势,WTI原油的总交易量趋向于年内低点。
2月交割的WTI原油期货下跌0.7%,结算价报每桶69.62美元。
2月交割的布伦特原油期货下跌0.4%,结算价报每桶73.26美元。
美国石油学会表示商业原油库存上周减少320万桶,限制了油价的跌幅;如果得到官方数据证实,这将是连续第五周下降。全国库存通常会在12月走低,然后在新年头几个月里上升。
“步入新的一年,没有太多推动WTI的动能,”CIBC Private Wealth Group的高级能源交易员Rebecca Babin表示,“交易员正在期待的下一个催化剂是1月特朗普就职,在那之前交易可能会出现震荡”。
