原标题：油价下跌但仍将创下多年来最大月度涨幅

中国石化新闻网讯据能源世界网5月29日伦敦报道，由于美国燃料需求疲软以及担心韩国第二波疫情，周五油价大幅下跌，但仍有望实现月度大幅上涨。

截至格林尼治时间0927,7月布伦特原油价格下跌1.16美元，跌幅3.3%，至每桶34.13美元，而更为活跃的8月合约价格下跌1.11美元，跌幅3.1%，至每桶34.92美元。美国西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)下跌1.28美元，跌幅3.8%，至每桶32.43美元。

据分析师表示，由于减产和对中国主导的需求复苏持乐观态度，这两份合约在连续几周的涨幅后，出现首个周下降，将准备迎接最大的月涨幅。

西德克萨斯中质原油5月份的月度涨幅有望达到72%的创纪录水平，布伦特原油5月份的涨幅将达到35%，这将是自1999年3月以来的最大月度涨幅。

据美国能源情报署(Energy Information Administration)周四发布的数据显示，上周美国原油和馏分油库存大幅上升。分析人士称，尽管各国解除了为遏制疫情而实施的旅行限制，但燃料需求依然疲软。

展望未来，贸易商将关注6月第二周石油输出国组织(OPEC，简称:欧佩克)与包括俄罗斯在内的盟国之间减产谈判的结果。

沙特阿拉伯和一些欧佩克成员国正在考虑将创纪录的970万桶/天减产期延长至6月以后，但尚未获得俄罗斯的支持。

Crude oil prices fall but remains set for biggest monthly gain in years

Oil prices were dragged sharply lower on Friday by weak US fuel demand and fears of a second wave of coronavirus cases in South Korea , but were still on track for a hefty monthly gain.

July Brent crude fell $1.16, or 3.3 per cent, to $34.13 a barrel by 0927 GMT while the more active August contract fell $1.11, or 3.1 per cent, to $34.92. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was down $1.28, or 3.8 per cent, at $32.43.

Both contracts were on course for their first weekly loss after for consecutive weeks of gains that leave them set for the biggest monthly gains in years thanks to production cuts and optimism over Chinese-led demand recovery, analysts said.

WTI is on track for a record monthly gain of 72 per cent in May, with Brent set for a 35 per cent increase that would represent its strongest monthly rise since March 1999.

Thursday's data from the Energy Information Administration showed that US crude oil and distillate inventories rose sharply last week. Fuel demand remained slack even as various states lifted travel restrictions they had imposed to curb the coronavirus pandemic, analysts said.

Looking ahead, traders will be focusing on the outcome of talks on output cuts between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia, a group known as OPEC+, in the second week of June.

Saudi Arabia and some OPEC members are considering extending record production cuts of 9.7 million barrels per day beyond June, but have yet to win support from Russia.
