华尔街大行高盛发布最新研报称，预计由八个石油生产大国组成的最大石油生产国集团"欧佩克+"将在今年9月把石油生产配额大幅提高55万桶/日，从而完 成对此前自愿减产220万桶/日的全面减产逆转。在当前全球石油需求仍然保持韧性的背景下，中东各大石油生产国正寻求让闲置产能恢复常态，抢占近年来 因减产而被美国页岩油生产商们所占据的市场份额。但是高盛预计欧佩克+大幅增产可能将强化石油市场"供应过剩预期"，进而导致国际原油基准——布伦 特原油期货价格持续处于下行轨迹。 这份于周日发布的石油产量预测紧随周六欧佩克+会议之后。在这次的能源政策会议上，沙特与俄罗斯领导的欧佩克+同意在8月增产54.8万桶/日，此举进一 步提速了中东石油生产国的增产节奏。这也是在油价因以色列和美国对伊朗发动袭击而先暴涨后回落以来，该组织召开的首次会议。 高盛在研报中表示："周六宣布提前增产，使我们更加确信，从去年夏季开始我们便提示的那种更偏向长期均衡策略的新阶段正在继续：即围绕让闲置产能 与市场份额恢复常态、维护内部凝聚力、战略性抑制美国页岩油供应。" 高盛的分析师团队预计，欧佩克+(石油输出国组织以及以俄罗斯为首的盟国)中这八个核心成员国包括原油 ...

Core Viewpoint - The "OPEC+" alliance has decided to increase oil production by 548,000 barrels per day starting in August, which may further lower oil prices this year [1][2].

【环球网财经综合报道】近期，国际油价面临严峻考验，两大利空消息接踵而至。一方面，OPEC+成员国出人意料地达成超预期增产协议；另一方面，美 国实施高额关税，引发市场对全球贸易和经济增长的担忧。 美国总统于7月4日宣布启动新一轮关税计划，向多个贸易伙伴发出设定新关税税率的信函，其中最高税率可能高达70%，并"十有八九"于8月1日起生效。此 举旨在为美国经济减负，但市场普遍担忧其将扰乱全球供应链，引发对全球贸易和经济增长的不确定性因素的担忧。 分析人士指出，美国关税政策的不确定性可能抑制主要经济体的能源消费，给油价带来额外的下行压力。市场参与者担忧贸易摩擦升级可能拖累全球经济复 苏，进而影响原油需求。本周五，受OPEC+增产预期及美国总统关税威胁双重影响，WTI原油期货价格下跌0.75%，跌破每桶67美元，收于66.50美元。 展望未来，油价走势将取决于OPEC+的后续产量决策、美国总统关税政策的具体落实情况，以及全球经济复苏的实际进程。分析师普遍认为，供应过剩风 险在今年晚些时候可能进一步显现。在供应增加、需求担忧和政策不确定性等多重因素交织下，原油市场短期内或将继续维持震荡格局。(文馨) 当地时间7月5日，O ...
