-- 受疲软的库存数据和季节性需求疲软的影响,美国天然气期货周五盘后交易延续跌势。 近月亨利枢纽天然气期货合约以及连续合约下跌3.48%,至每百万英热单位2.523美元。 据Pinebrooke Energy Advisors称,天然气价格在前一交易日下跌11美分后继续走低。Gelber & Associates的分析师指出,5月期货价格急剧逆转,在短短两个交易日内抹去了此前连续六个交易日的涨幅。 该公司将此次下跌归因于美国能源信息署周四公布的远超预期的库存增幅,这使得市场重新关注春季供需平衡的疲软局面。 此外,该公司表示,此前受季末降温预期支撑的价格在数据显示供应持续超过消费后消退。 “随着淡季深入,任何不利因素都可能阻碍价格上涨,而最新数据显示,即使气温略有下降,供应仍然超过消费,”该公司周五在一份报告中表示。 美国能源信息署(EIA)表示,截至4月17日当周,天然气库存增加了1030亿立方英尺,超过市场预期,也超过了去年同期的770亿立方英尺增幅以及五年平均增幅640亿立方英尺。目前,天然气总库存比季节性正常水平高出约7.1%。 供应方面,Trading Economics表示,美国天然气产量略有下降,过去17天每天下降约38亿立方英尺,至11周以来的最低点1083亿立方英尺/日。然而,液化天然气原料气需求依然强劲,4月份达到189亿立方英尺/日,有望创下月度新高。 NRG Energy 的另一项数据显示,天然气产量为 1064 亿立方英尺,低于去年同期水平,而液化天然气原料气流量为 187 亿立方英尺/天。
