据世界石油8月7日纽约彭博社报道，油价暴跌，重新进入熊市，因为美国燃料储备的意外增加，加剧了对日益过剩的担忧，助长了一种日益悲观的经济观点。

纽约期货周三下跌4.7％至近两个月以来的最低点，此前美国库存意外增加。在新西兰，印度和泰国降息加剧了对经济衰退的担忧并刺激美国国债和其他安全避风港的转移之后，原油在全球股市和商品市场崩盘中也大幅上涨。

EIA的数据显示，上周美国国内原油库存增加了239万桶，打破了连续7周的下降趋势。自2001年以来的这个时候，汽油库存也出现了最大增长，在通常的需求高峰期，这是一个令人震惊的趋势。

SEB AB奥斯陆首席大宗商品分析师Bjarne Schieldrop表示，看跌和恶化的全球宏观形势似乎占上风，推动油价走低。

伦敦交易的布伦特原油也进一步跌入熊市，下跌超过4%，因为市场对美中贸易战不断升级的担忧与日俱增。周二早些时候，EIA将今年全球石油需求增长的预期下调至每日100万桶。

纽约商品交易所9月交付的西德克萨斯中质油在早些时候达到51.10美元后于上午11点03分下跌2.23美元至51.40美元/桶。

总部位于伦敦的ICE期货欧洲交易所10月交割的布伦特原油价格下跌2.12美元至56.82美元。 该合约同月以7,300美元的价格出售给WTI。

Oil slump deepens on unexpected jump in U.S. fuel stockpiles

Oil plunged, re-entering bear-market territory, as a surprise increase in American fuel stockpiles fueled worries about a growing glut, feeding into an increasingly dismal economic view.

Futures in New York fell as much as 4.7% on Wednesday to the lowest in almost two months after a surprise increase in U.S. inventories. Crude was also swept up in a global meltdown of stock and commodity markets after rate cuts in New Zealand, India and Thailand escalated recessions fears and spurred a flight to U.S. Treasuries and other safe havens.

In the U.S., domestic crude inventories expanded by 2.39 MMbbl last week, snapping a seven-week string of declines, according to data from the Energy Information Administration. Gasoline stockpiles also expanded by the most for this time of year since 2001, an alarming trend during what is usually the peak demand season.

“The bearish and deteriorating global macro situation seems to have the upper hand, pushing oil lower and lower,” said Bjarne Schieldrop, Oslo-based chief commodities analyst at SEB AB.

London-traded Brent crude also deepened its descent into bear territory, dipping more than 4% as worries build about the escalating U.S.-China trade war. The EIA earlier Tuesday lowered its estimates for growth in global oil demand this year to 1 MMbpd.

West Texas Intermediate oil for September delivery declined $2.23 to $51.40/bbl at 11:03 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange after earlier reaching $51.10.

Brent for October settlement fell $2.12 to $56.82 on the London-based ICE Futures Europe Exchange. The contract sold for a premium of $5.43 to WTI for the same month.
