国际能源署署长周二表示,如有需要,该机构随时准备协调成员国进一步释放紧急石油储备;与此同时,该机构正推动按现有计划释放柴油,以帮助缓解飙升的油价。
The International Energy Agency is ready to coordinate more emergency oil releases by member countries if needed, its boss said on Tuesday, while it spurs the release of diesel under existing plans to help cool surging prices.
来自海湾地区和俄罗斯的供应中断,已使包括美国在内的许多市场的柴油价格升至历史新高。在美国,柴油价格已成为11月3日中期选举前的一个热议话题。
Disruption to supply from the Gulf and Russia have sent diesel prices to record highs in many markets, including the United States, where it has become a talking point ahead of November 3 midterm elections.
国际能源署负责协调工业化国家释放紧急石油储备。该机构上周宣布,将加快释放3月承诺的原油和石油产品数量,其中包括尽快释放逾2000万桶柴油。
The IEA, which coordinates industrialised nations' releases of oil from emergency stocks, announced last week that it would accelerate the release of crude and oil product volumes pledged in March, including more than 20 million barrels of diesel as soon as possible.
当被问及是否可能进一步释放储备时,国际能源署执行主任法提赫·比罗尔在《金融时报》于伦敦主办的一场会议上表示:“如果有需要……如果我们的成员国认为到了按下按钮的时候,作为国际能源署,我们已做好准备。”
"If it is needed...and if our countries consider it’s time to push the button, as the International Energy Agency, we are ready to go,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said at a conference in London organised by the Financial Times, when asked about the prospect of an additional release.
他表示,释放这2000万桶柴油是优先事项,具体时机取决于各个国家和市场状况,但他没有给出具体时间表。他补充说:“我们正努力提前交付这些柴油。”
The release of the 20 million barrels of diesel is a priority and the timing depends on individual countries and market conditions, he said, without giving a specific timeframe. "We’re trying to front-load those diesel deliveries,” he added.
国际能源署在最新一期石油市场报告中表示,全球柴油市场可能一直紧张到明年,由此导致的高价将推升通胀。
Global diesel markets could remain tight well into next year, with resulting high prices driving inflation, the IEA said in its most recent oil market report.
比罗尔在会上表示:“我个人看不到任何可信的路径能让2027年成为恢复正常的一年。”
"I personally don't see any credible pathway that 2027 will be a year of normalisation," Birol said at the conference.
周二,布伦特原油升至每桶逾111美元,创五个月新高。欧洲基准柴油期货报每公吨1482.25美元,自国际能源署宣布将加快释放3月承诺数量的剩余部分以来上涨近4%。
Brent crude oil rose to more than $111 a barrel on Tuesday, a five-month high. European benchmark diesel futures were trading at $1482.25 per metric ton, up almost 4% since the IEA announced it would accelerate the release of the remainder of the March volumes.
比罗尔表示,成员国迄今已释放其承诺的创纪录4亿桶原油和石油产品中的80%。
Members have so far released 80% of the record 400 million barrels of crude and oil products they committed to, Birol said.
