油价维持在近八周高位

据世界石油11月18日新加坡报道，由于中美贸易战持续进行的迹象，油价保持在八周最高收盘附近，这对燃料需求前景造成压力。

纽约原油期货价格周五收于自9月23日以来的最高水平后，下跌0.1%，接近每桶58美元。在截至11月12日的一周内，石油卖空者将他们对西德克萨斯中质原油的空头头寸削减了41%。

PVM Oil Associates Ltd.驻伦敦分析师Tamas Varga称：“现阶段我们不知道'第一阶段'的谈判会有多成功。就目前而言，风险资产更多的是一种预知，而不是事实。全球石油供需平衡需要收紧。”

自10月初以来，原油价格有所上涨。尽管如此，国际能源机构(iea)预计，明年市场可能仍将保持“平静”，因为欧佩克以外的石油产量不断飙升，加之高库存，使消费者能够轻松获得供应。这可能会让沙特阿拉伯感到担忧，因为沙特阿拉伯为国有石油巨头沙特阿美的首次公开发行设定的估值目标远低于沙特王储穆罕默德•本•萨勒曼设定的2万亿美元的目标。

截至伦敦时间上午10点33分，纽约商品交易所12月交割的西德克萨斯中质原油期货价格下跌0.03美元，至每桶57.69美元。该合约周五收涨0.95美元，收于57.72美元，为连续第二周上涨。

伦敦ICE欧洲期货交易所1月交割的布伦特原油期货价格基本持平，报63.30美元/桶，上周五上涨1.02美元。同期，全球基准原油价格较WTI有5.51美元的溢价。

沙特阿拉伯将仅出售沙特阿美1.5%的股份，并为其IPO设定1.6万亿至1.71万亿美元的估值目标。据知情人士透露，该公司取消了原定于周三在伦敦举行的路演，此前该公司曾决定不在美国、加拿大或日本市场进行市场推广。该交易现在将主要依靠沙特富裕家庭和其他当地投资者。
