據(jù)路透社1月6日新加坡報(bào)道，三位知情人士周四表示，全球最大石油出口國(guó)沙特阿拉伯已將2月向亞洲出售的所有級(jí)別原油的官方售價(jià)(OSP)下調(diào)至少1美元/桶。

歐佩克及其盟國(guó)歐佩克+本周決定在2月份再增加40萬(wàn)桶/天石油供應(yīng)，這項(xiàng)政策是自去年8月以來(lái)執(zhí)行的，因此大幅降價(jià)是在供應(yīng)增加的背景下進(jìn)行的。

原油成本的下降可能會(huì)支撐亞洲頂級(jí)煉油商的利潤(rùn)率，如日本的ENEOS Holdings和印度的信實(shí)工業(yè)(Reliance Industries)。

沙特阿美將2月阿拉伯輕質(zhì)原油價(jià)格定在高于阿曼/迪拜的平均報(bào)價(jià)2.20美元/桶，較上月下跌1.10美元。

旗艦級(jí)原油2月份的OSP是三個(gè)月來(lái)最低的。

由于供應(yīng)增加，中東基準(zhǔn)價(jià)格和現(xiàn)貨價(jià)格上月大幅下跌，此前外界曾預(yù)計(jì)沙特阿美將在2月份大幅降價(jià)。

不過(guò)，消息人士稱，降價(jià)幅度仍低于行業(yè)預(yù)期。

例如，路透社的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，預(yù)計(jì)阿拉伯輕質(zhì)原油期貨價(jià)格每桶至少下跌1.30美元。

Saudi Arabia makes deep cuts to crude prices for Asia, sources say

The world's top oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, has cut the official selling price (OSP) for all grades of crude it is selling to Asia in February by at least $1 a barrel, three sources with knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.

The deep price cuts come on the back of rising supplies as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, together known as OPEC+, decided this week to add another 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) of supply in February, as it has done each month since August.  

The fall in crude costs could support margins for top refiners across Asia, such as Japan's ENEOS Holdings (5020.T), China's Sinopec (600028.SS) and India's Reliance Industries (RELI.NS).

State oil giant Saudi Aramco (2222.SE) set the February OSP for Arab Light crude at $2.20 a barrel above the average of Oman/Dubai quotes, down $1.10 from the previous month, they said.

The February OSP for the flagship crude is the lowest in three months.

Saudi Aramco had been expected to make deep price cuts for February after Middle East benchmarks and spot prices slumped last month owing to rising supplies. 

However, the sources said the price cuts were still smaller than industry expectations.

For example, the OSP for Arab Light was expected to have fallen by at least $1.30 a barrel, a Reuters survey showed.
