???? 據2月27日Rigzone報道，油價創下去年11月以來最大跌幅，美元走強以及圍繞通脹的擔憂令創下了今年以來最好表現的原油市場承壓。
????周五，紐約期貨市場下跌3.2%，美元走強降低了以美元計價的大宗商品的吸引力。然而，由于全球庫存趨緊、需求回升，美國原油基準2月仍實現了近18%的漲幅。根據美國政府的數據，這是2020年美國國內原油產量四年來首次下降。
????Tyche Capital Advisors全球宏觀計劃主管Tariq Zahir表示:“從我們最近看到的走勢來看，價格下行的風險要大一些。要想繼續走高，需求必須大幅回升。”
????原油價格創下今年以來同期最大漲幅，部分原因是歐佩克+產量限制有助于消耗全球庫存。此外，摩根大通(JPMorgan Chase & Co.)的數據顯示，最近前所未有的寒流導致美國數百萬桶原油停產，這意味著石油市場的供應比此前預計的每天短缺約10萬桶還要多。隨著北海油田進行大規模維護，供應短缺可能在未來幾個月惡化。
????歐佩克及其盟友將決定石油產量水平，盡管俄羅斯已經表示，它傾向于進一步減少減產，但該國2月的石油產量低于其歐佩克+目標，這意味著它未能充分利用1月份歐佩克+會議后提供的更慷慨的配額。
????總部位于康涅狄格州斯坦福德的Tradition Energy主管加里?坎寧安(Gary Cunningham)表示:“我們都知道，歐佩克恢復生產的意向正在籠罩著市場。全球石油供應的持續下降將取決于歐佩克恢復多少產量，以及伊朗的石油產量。”
????在價格方面，西德克薩斯中質原油4月份交割價格下跌2.03美元，結算價為每桶61.50美元；美國基準原油價格本周上漲3.8%，將于周五到期的4月份布倫特原油結算價下跌75美分，收于每桶66.13美元；本周該合約上漲5.1%；交易更為活躍的5月份合約下跌1.69美元，收于每桶64.42美元；周四公債收益率飆升，表明通脹加速可能導致貨幣政策支持力度回落。在疫情期間，貨幣政策支持助推風險資產上漲。盡管此后全球債券市場已經企穩，但如果貨幣政策不那么寬松，可能會對大宗商品市場產生連鎖反應。
????瑞穗證券(Mizuho Securities)期貨部門主管鮑勃?耶格爾(Bob Yawger)表示，“原油處于超級超買區域將出現回調。此外，投資者“仍然擔心利率會走高。”
????在其他石油市場消息方面，洲際交易所表示，它打算繼續對2022年6月后到期、已持有未平倉合約的布倫特原油相關合約使用FOB參考價。

????Oil Futures Slide As Dollar Gets Stronger
????Oil fell the most since November with a stronger dollar and concerns surrounding inflation weighing on crude’s best start to the year on record.
????Futures in New York declined 3.2% on Friday, with a rising dollar reducing the appeal of commodities priced in the currency. Yet, the U.S. crude benchmark still managed to post a nearly 18% gain this month as inventories worldwide tighten and pockets of demand return. Domestic crude production dropped in 2020 for the first time in four years, according to the U.S. government.
????“Prices have a little bit more risk to the downside from the recent run that we’ve seen,” said Tariq Zahir, managing member of the global macro program at Tyche Capital Advisors LLC. “To continue going higher from here, demand has to come back pretty substantially.”
????Crude prices have notched the largest year-to-date gain than in any year prior for the same time period, in part due to OPEC+ production curbs helping to deplete global stockpiles. Plus, the unprecedented cold blast that recently halted millions of barrels of U.S. output means oil markets are about 100,000 barrels a day tighter than previously thought, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Supply scarcity may worsen in the coming months as North Sea fields undergo major maintenance.
????The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies will meet next week to decide on output levels. While Russia has signaled it favors a further easing of production cuts, the country’s oil output dipped below its OPEC+ target this month, meaning it failed to take full advantage of the more generous quota it was afforded after January’s OPEC+ meeting.
????“We all know the OPEC return to production is looming over the market pretty strongly,” said Gary Cunningham, director at Stamford, Connecticut-based Tradition Energy. Continued declines in global supplies will “depend on how much production OPEC brings back and whether or not the sanctions on Iran are lifted.”
????Prices
????West Texas Intermediate for April delivery fell $2.03 to settle at $61.50 a barrel
????The U.S. crude benchmark rose 3.8% this week
????Brent for April settlement, which expires on Friday, declined 75 cents to end the session at $66.13 a barrel.
????The contract gained 5.1% this week.
????The more actively traded May contract declined $1.69 to settle at $64.42 a barrel.
????Soaring bond yields on Thursday were the latest sign that accelerating inflation could trigger a pullback in monetary policy support that has helped fuel gains in risky assets during the pandemic. While global bonds have since stabilized, a less accommodative approach to monetary policy could have ripple effects across commodity markets.
????“Crude oil was in super overbought territory,” and due for a pullback, said Bob Yawger, head of the futures division at Mizuho Securities. Plus, investors are “still anxious about rates ripping higher.”
????Other oil-market news:
????ICE said it intends to continue to use a FOB reference for contracts related to Dated Brent that expire after June 2022 that already have open interest, according to a circular.
