据道琼斯6月1日消息,普氏能源资讯的一份分析师调查显示,截至5月27日当周美国原油库存或减少310万桶,而炼油厂开工率或上升1.1个百分点至90.8%。该机构表示,从历史上看每年夏初美国炼油厂开工率一般会上行,但目前的进口趋势很难判断。该机构称,布伦特/西得州中质油合约价差收窄可能会吸引更多的原油流入美国用于炼油,但另一方面,向美国出口原油用于存储的吸引力已经减弱。普氏还指出,受艾伯塔省森林大火影响,美国从加拿大进口的原油每日减少大约100万桶。

U.S. Crude Stocks Fell 3.1 Mln Barrels Last Week - Platts
[Dow Jones] U.S. crude inventory likely decreased 3.1 million barrels while refinery utilization rate increased 1.1% to 90.8% in the week ended May 27, according to an analysts survey by Platts. The agency said that while the beginning of summer historically points toward refinery utilization heading higher, the current import trends is harder to pin down. A tight Brent/WTI spread could lure more barrels to the U.S. for refining purposes, but conversely, the incentive to export crude to the U.S. for storage has dissipated, it says. It also points out that imports from Canada fell about 1 million barrels a day due to the wildfires in Alberta.
