???? 據烴加工網站7月8日報道 美國能源信息署表示，美國原油和汽油庫存下跌，汽油需求達到2019年以來最高水平，顯示美國經濟實力增強。
????截至7月2日的一周內，原油庫存減少690萬桶，至4.455億桶，為2020年2月以來最低水平，超過路透社調查預估的400萬桶降幅。
????由于煉油廠將更多石油加工成汽油、柴油和其他產品，原油庫存連續幾周穩步下降。供應的總產品（燃料終端需求的替代品）增加到2090萬桶/日，與兩年前新冠疫情的趨勢一致。
????此外，汽油需求激增，創下一周紀錄，但四周平均供應汽油為950萬桶/日，為2019年10月以來最高水平。
????汽油庫存減少610萬桶，超出了220萬桶的預期。
????CHS對沖基金能源市場分析師托尼?海德里克表示：“毫無疑問，該報告是看漲的，因為所有的預測都表明，汽油需求強勁，這是事實，導致庫存大幅減少?！?/p>
????受此消息影響，油價上漲，擺脫了早些時候的損失。截至美國東部時間上午11:14（格林威治標準時間15:14），美國原油期貨價格上漲4美分，至72.24美元/桶，布倫特原油期貨價格上漲10美分，至73.54美元/桶。
????原油庫存下降，盡管煉油商在最近一周削減了活動，原油消耗量下降了18.4萬桶/日，煉油廠利用率下降了0.7個百分點，達到產能的92.2%。
????產量升至1130萬桶/日，仍低于2019年近1300萬桶/日的紀錄。然而，每周的生產數據往往不穩定，大多數分析師認為月度數據更可靠。
????紐約再投資公司合伙人約翰?基爾達夫表示：“盡管我們看到了1130萬桶的小幅增長，但要想回到原來的水平，我們還有很長的路要走。”。
????包括柴油和取暖油在內的餾分油庫存本周增加160萬桶。

????U.S. crude, gasoline stocks fall as fuel demand rises
????U.S. crude and gasoline stocks fell and gasoline demand reached its highest since 2019, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said, signaling increasing strength in the U.S. economy.
????Crude inventories fell by 6.9 million barrels in the week to July 2 to 445.5 million barrels, the lowest since February 2020, and more than the expected 4 million-barrel drop estimated in a Reuters poll.
????Crude stocks have declined steadily for several weeks as refiners process more oil into gasoline, diesel and other products. Overall product supplied - a proxy for demand from end-users of fuels - rose to 20.9 million barrels per day (bpd), in line with the same trend two years ago prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
????In addition, gasoline demand surged to a one-week record, but the four-week average of gasoline supplied was at 9.5 million bpd, the highest since October 2019.
????That helped lower gasoline stocks by 6.1 million barrels, exceeding expectations for a 2.2 million-barrel drop.
????“The report is bullish, there’s no doubt,” said Tony Headrick, energy market analyst at CHS Hedging. “For all of the estimates out there suggesting gasoline demand was strong that showed true, leading to a sharp drawdown in inventories.”
????Oil prices rose on the news, shaking off earlier losses. U.S. crude futures were up 4 cents to $72.24 a barrel while Brent gained 10 cents to $73.54 as of 11:14 a.m. EDT (1514 GMT).
????Crude stocks dropped even as refiners cut back activity in the most recent week, with crude runs down by 184,000 bpd, and refinery utilization rates off by 0.7 percentage points to 92.2% of capacity.
????Production rose to 11.3 million bpd, still short of the 2019 record of nearly 13 million bpd. Weekly production figures can tend to be volatile, however, and most analysts regard monthly data as more reliable.
????“Even though we saw a little bit of a rise to 11.3 million, we’ve still got a long way to go there to make it back to where we were,” said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital in New York.
????Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, rose by 1.6 million barrels in the week.
