油价下跌但仍保持了近3个月的高点

据世界能源网12月16日新加坡报道，油价周一下跌，但仍接近3个月高位，市场参与者表示，可能会刺激石油需求，推动贸易流动。

格林尼治标准时间1：01 ，布伦特原油期货下跌23美分，跌幅0.4% ，至每桶64.99美元，上周五收于近三个月高点。

西德克萨斯中质原油下跌23美分，跌幅0.4％至每桶59.84美元。

CMC市场首席市场策略师迈克尔·麦卡锡(Michael McCarthy)表示，看来市场现在已经对第一阶段贸易协议进行了完全定价，因此如果我们要克服原油之前的重要（技术）阻力，我们将需要更多消息。

"It seems the market has now fully priced the phase 1 trade agreement so we are going to need further news if we are going to push through the important (technical) resistance that is just ahead of crude oil," said Michael McCarthy, chief market strategist at CMC Markets.
