【欧佩克维持全球原油需求增长预期，预计2026年供应缺口显著收窄】欧佩克周一宣布，维持今年及明 年的全球原油需求增长预期不变。同时预计，随着欧佩克+加快增产步伐，2026年的市场供应缺口将明 显缩小。 近期，欧佩克+加大了原油供应力度，此前该组织决定比原计划更快地撤销部分减产措施。欧 佩克周一报告显示，尽管原油需求预计保持稳定，但欧佩克+在9月将日产量提高了63万桶，达到4305 万桶，这反映出此前已批准的增产配额得到落实。 基于报告计算，若欧佩克+维持9月的产量水平，市 场对欧佩克+原油的平均需求约为每日4310万桶，这意味着全球石油市场的供应缺口仅为每日5万桶。 而在上月报告中，若维持8月的产量水平，2026年预计将出现每日70万桶的供应缺口。 本文由 AI算法生成，仅作参考，不涉投资建议，使用风险自担 ...
