中国石化新闻网讯 据海外媒体11月2日休斯敦报道,在Colonial管道公司本周一关闭了其主要的汽油和馏分油管道以后,美国的汽油期货价格在周二上涨了11%。
导致Colonial管道公司关闭这条重要管道的主要原因是这条管道在阿拉巴马州谢尔比发生的爆炸和大火造成了一名工人丧命。
这是Colonial管道公司在过去两个月里第二次发生重大事故,该公司不得不关闭这条通往美国东海岸的至关重要的供应线,对汽油供应短缺的担忧促使了汽油价格飙升。
12月份交付的汽油期货价格在美国东部时间周二上午8:05每加仑上涨了大约0.16美元,上涨到了每加仑1.58美元。
在周二早些时候,汽油期货的合同价格曾一度猛涨到了每加仑高达1.6351美元。

U.S. Gasoline Futures Spike on Colonial Pipeline Casualty
WENews.com/November 2, 2016/Houston
U.S. gasoline futures jumped over 11 percent on Tuesday after Colonial Pipeline Co shut down its main gasoline and distillates pipelines on Monday after an explosion and fire in Shelby, Alabama, killed a worker.
The incident was the second time in two months the company had to close the crucial supply line to the U.S. East Coast, prompting gasoline prices to spike on fears of shortages.
Gasoline futures for December were up about 16 cents, or 11.1 percent, at $1.58 per gallon at 8:05 a.m. EDT (1205 GMT).
Earlier in the session, the contract jumped as high as $1.6351, its highest since early June.
