據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)2022年10月21日?qǐng)?bào)道，由于預(yù)計(jì)全球石油需求增長(zhǎng)將放緩，英國(guó)最大商業(yè)銀行之一的巴克萊銀行日前下調(diào)了其對(duì)今明兩年布倫特原油價(jià)格的預(yù)期。

CN Wire援引巴克萊銀行的消息報(bào)道，這家英國(guó)銀行在8月份將布倫特原油價(jià)格預(yù)測(cè)從每桶111美元下調(diào)至每桶103美元，2022年和2023年則每桶下調(diào)了3美元，2023年每桶下調(diào)了5美元。  

但巴克萊銀行仍然對(duì)油價(jià)曲線和共識(shí)持建設(shè)性態(tài)度。

然而，巴克萊銀行表示，如果2023年全球石油需求比預(yù)期每天低100萬(wàn)至200萬(wàn)桶，那么明年的油價(jià)預(yù)測(cè)將每桶下降15至25美元。

此外，報(bào)道援引巴克萊銀行的話說(shuō)：“盡管由于更廣泛的經(jīng)濟(jì)放緩，流動(dòng)性限制可能會(huì)放寬，但全球石油需求可能低于我們的預(yù)期?！?/p>

由于市場(chǎng)人士再次關(guān)注經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退可能減緩全球石油需求增長(zhǎng)的擔(dān)憂，油價(jià)周四收平，周五油價(jià)連續(xù)第二周下跌。

Barclays Cuts Oil Price Forecast Due To Slower Demand Growth

Barclays lowered on Friday its Brent Crude price forecast for this year and next due to expected slowing growth in oil demand.

The UK bank—which slashed in August its Brent oil price forecast to $103 per barrel for 2022 and 2023, down from $111 a barrel—is now cutting its Brent forecast by $3 per barrel for 2022 and by $5 a barrel for 2023, CN Wire reports, citing Barclays.

However, the bank remains constructive with respect to the curve and consensus of oil prices.  

Yet, if 2023 global oil demand is 1-2 million barrels per day (bpd) lower than expected, there is a downside of between $15 and $25 per barrel in Barclays’ price forecast for next year, the bank said.

Moreover, “oil demand could undershoot our estimates despite a potential easing of mobility restrictions due to a broader slowdown,” the bank was quoted as saying.

Oil prices settled almost flat on Thursday as market participants focused again on fears of recessions that could slow oil demand, and were headed to a second consecutive weekly loss on Friday.
