EIA稱(chēng)美國(guó)每周汽油需求創(chuàng)歷史新高
中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)休斯敦普氏能源資訊6月13日消息，美國(guó)能源情報(bào)署(Energy Information Administration)周三公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，截至6月8日當(dāng)周，美國(guó)汽油需求(以產(chǎn)品供應(yīng)衡量)創(chuàng)下歷史新高。
在6月的第一個(gè)完整星期，汽油供應(yīng)報(bào)告為98.79億桶/日，這是早在1991年的數(shù)據(jù)中最高的數(shù)字。此前的歷史最高紀(jì)錄出現(xiàn)在今年早些時(shí)候，當(dāng)時(shí)報(bào)告稱(chēng)，截至4月13日當(dāng)周的日產(chǎn)量為9857萬(wàn)桶。
在需求強(qiáng)勁的情況下，本周美國(guó)汽油庫(kù)存料減少227萬(wàn)桶，至2.36763億桶，較上年同期減少約2.3%。盡管美國(guó)汽油進(jìn)口量有所上升，但美國(guó)汽油庫(kù)存仍有所下降。美國(guó)能源情報(bào)署表示，在截至6月1日的一周內(nèi)，美國(guó)汽油進(jìn)口量從每日777,000桶增至每日824,000桶。
除了需求強(qiáng)勁之外，美國(guó)汽油進(jìn)口增加可能不會(huì)導(dǎo)致燃料庫(kù)存增加，因?yàn)槠统隹谠黾?.9萬(wàn)桶，至每日60.7萬(wàn)桶。美國(guó)能源情報(bào)署(EIA)的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，這是自2010年以來(lái)6月第一周以來(lái)的最高出口量。
有趣的是，盡管價(jià)格高于歷史標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，但美國(guó)的需求卻達(dá)到了歷史最高水平。
周二，標(biāo)普全球普氏(S&P Global Platts)對(duì)休斯敦的CBOB進(jìn)行了評(píng)估。休斯頓可能是美國(guó)流動(dòng)性最強(qiáng)的汽油現(xiàn)貨市場(chǎng)。這比去年同期的評(píng)估價(jià)值高出40%以上。
這一數(shù)據(jù)與汽車(chē)俱樂(lè)部AAA周三發(fā)布的一篇博客文章相符。該博客稱(chēng)，與去年夏天相比，駕車(chē)者現(xiàn)在在加油站加油上的支出更多。
駕車(chē)者本季度至少要多花250美元加油，但這并不妨礙他們出行。夏季是公路旅行和度假的代名詞，我們不會(huì)看到美國(guó)人今年放棄這種消遣。
同一篇博客文章說(shuō)，美國(guó)一些州現(xiàn)在的油價(jià)高于心理上很重要的3美元/加侖。例如，根據(jù)美國(guó)汽車(chē)協(xié)會(huì)(AAA)的數(shù)據(jù)，在愛(ài)達(dá)荷州，99%的加油站的汽油售價(jià)都是在3.01美元/加侖以上，而在2017年夏天，沒(méi)有加油站的汽油價(jià)格達(dá)到或高于這一水平。

US gasoline demand -- measured as product supplied -- hit a new all-time weekly high in the week ended June 8, Energy Information Administration data showed Wednesday.
Product supplied of gasoline was reported at 9.879 million b/d in the first full week of June, the highest that figure has ever been in data going as far back as 1991. The previous all-time high occurred earlier this year, when product supplied was reported at 9.857 million b/d for the week ended April 13.
Amid robust demand, US gasoline stocks for the week were reported 2.27 million barrels down on the week at 236.763 million barrels, which is about 2.3% below their level in the year-ago week. Those stocks fell despite uptick in US gasoline imports, which the EIA says rose from 777,000 b/d in the week ended June 1 to 824,000 b/d in the week ended June 8.
Aside from strong demand, higher US gasoline imports likely did not lead to an increase in fuel stocks because gasoline exports rose 69,000 b/d to reach 607,000 b/d. The EIA data show this is the highest volume of exports seen in the first full week of June going as far back as 2010.
Interestingly, US demand reached an all-time high despite prices being above historic norms.
On Tuesday, S&P Global Platts assessed CBOB in Houston, which is perhaps the most liquid gasoline cash market in the US, at July NYMEX RBOB futures minus 14.60 cents/gal, or $1.9439/gal. This is more than 40% above the assessment value from the year-ago date.
This data lines up with a blog post from AAA, an auto-club, posted on Wednesday which said that motorists are now spending more on fuel at the pump relative to last summer.
"Motorists can expect to spend at least $250 more on gas this season, but that won't stop them from traveling. Summer is synonymous with road trips and vacation and we are not going to see Americans are giving up this pastime this year," said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokeswoman.
The same blog post said that some US states are now seeing prices at the pump above the psychologically-important $3/gal level. For example, in Idaho, 99% of gas stations are selling gasoline at prices at or above $3.01/gal compared to the summer of 2017, when no gas stations sold fuel at or above this level, according to AAA.
