据彭博社8月9日休斯顿报道，在本周早些时候抛售后，投资者权衡了沙特阿拉伯的最新举措，美国市场石油价格上涨开始了。

WTI在纽约上涨了4.1%，但本周仍有望下跌约2%。美国库存的意外增加，帮助推动周三价格跌至7个月来的低点。国际能源署周五称需求前景“脆弱”的沙特阿拉伯在9月份以限制产量和出口的计划来应对这场溃败。

原油价格本月下跌约7%，这掩盖了中东供应中断的风险。国际能源机构在其月度报告中下调了今明两年的石油需求增长预测，并警告称，随着美中贸易争端的持续，该机构可能会进一步下调这一预测。

法国巴黎银行(BNP Paribas SA)大宗商品市场策略主管哈里齐林吉里安(Harry Tchilinguirian)表示:“美国最近加剧了全球市场的避险情绪，尽管供应方基本面支持，但石油也未能幸免于动荡。”。

Oil rises as investors weigh Saudi action against demand concern

Oil surged to start the U.S. session as investors weighed the latest steps from Saudi Arabia following a selloff earlier in the week.

WTI rose as much as 4.1% in New York, but is still on track to lose about 2% this week.?A surprise gain in U.S. stockpiles helped drive prices to a seven-month low on Wednesday. The International Energy Agency on Friday called the demand outlook “fragile.” Saudi Arabia responded to the rout with a plan to limit output and exports in September.

Crude has fallen about 7% this month as growing fears that the trade spat will expand into a currency war overshadow the risk of supply disruptions in the Middle East. The IEA in its monthly report trimmed forecasts for oil-demand growth this year and next, and warned that it may lower the estimates further.

“The oil has not been immune to the turmoil -- despite supportive supply-side fundamentals,” said Harry Tchilinguirian, head of commodity-markets strategy at BNP Paribas SA.
