由于波斯湾出口上升以及沙特阿拉伯大幅降价加剧了市场供应宽松的迹象，油价维持了两日连跌走势。
Oil held a two-day drop, as rising Persian Gulf exports and a steep price cut by Saudi Arabia reinforced signs of a loosening market.
在过去两个交易日累计下跌3.7%后，西德克萨斯中质原油（WTI）稳定在每桶89美元附近，布伦特原油收于100美元附近。海湾地区生产商正通过霍尔木兹海峡运输更多石油，尽管风险依然较高，但有更多油轮冒着风险驶过这条有争议的水道。
West Texas Intermediate steadied near $89 a barrel after shedding 3.7% over the prior two sessions, while Brent closed near $100. Gulf producers are moving larger volumes through the Strait of Hormuz, with more tankers taking the risk of navigating the contested waterway despite still-elevated risks.
科威特表示，其石油产量约为伊朗战争前水平的75%；而伊拉克则在寻求租赁更多船只，以便通过霍尔木兹海峡运送货物。在此背景下，沙特阿美将其旗舰阿拉伯轻质原油面向亚洲买家的售价下调至六年来的最低水平。
Kuwait said it is pumping oil about 75% of the level seen before the Iran war, while Iraq is seeking to hire additional vessels to send its cargoes through Hormuz. The moves come as Saudi Aramco slashed the prices of its flagship Arab Light grade for Asian buyers to a six-year low.
今年2月美以袭击伊朗导致供应中断并加剧通货膨胀后，布伦特原油今年以来的涨幅仍超过60%。尽管中东的原油流向已反弹至冲突前水平，但成品油运输仍然受到限制，部分原因是乌克兰对俄罗斯的打击。
Brent crude remains more than 60% higher this year after the US and Israel attacked Iran in February, disrupting supplies and fueling inflation. While oil flows from the Middle East have rebounded toward pre-conflict levels, product shipments remain constrained, in part due to Ukrainian strikes on Russia.
截至周二晚些时候，美国能源信息署（EIA）将发布《短期能源展望》，其中包括对北半球冬季燃料的预期。在市场承受严重压力和价格处于创纪录高位的时期，这一展望将为柴油和取暖油的状况提供参考。
Later Tuesday, the US Energy Information Administration is due to release its Short-Term Energy Outlook, including expectations for fuels over the Northern Hemisphere winter. The perspective will provide insights into diesel and heating-oil conditions at a time of acute market stress and record prices. Energy Daily
