中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社9月6日消息称，沙特阿拉伯降低了亚洲和欧洲客户的油价。随着疫情封锁和经济衰退冷却了这两个地区的能源需求，沙特阿拉伯下调了亚洲和欧洲客户的油价。

国家控制的沙特阿美石油公司（Saudi Aramco）将下月运往亚洲炼油厂的关键阿拉伯轻质原油价格从创纪录的每桶5.85美元下调至高于中东基准的水平。这比9月份减少了近4美元。

此举基本上符合交易员的预期，此前布伦特原油期货在过去三个月下跌25%至每桶95美元以下。

沙特阿拉伯的大部分石油销往亚洲。日本、韩国和印度是最大的买家。尽管有许多主要经济体消费放缓的信号，但全球市场仍然紧张。许多分析师预测，今年最后一个季度，需求将超过供应。

Saudi Arabia Cuts Oil Prices for Asia and Europe

by Bloomberg|Anthony Di Paola, Alex Longley|Tuesday, September 06, 2022

Saudi Arabia cut oil prices for customers in Asia and Europe.Saudi Arabia cut oil prices for customers in Asia and Europe as coronavirus lockdowns and sagging economies cool energy demand in the two regions.

State-controlled Saudi Aramco lowered its key Arab Light grade for next month’s shipments to Asian refineries from a record to $5.85 a barrel above the Middle Eastern benchmark. That’s a decrease of almost $4 from September.

The move was largely in line with traders’ expectations and follows a 25% drop in Brent crude futures in the past three months to below $95 a barrel.

Saudi Arabia sells most of its oil to Asia. Japan, South Korea and India are the biggest buyers.

Despite signals of slowing consumption in many major economies, the global market remains tight. Many analysts forecast that demand will outstrip supply in the final quarter of this year.
