據(jù)道瓊斯8月10日消息，在其月度《短期能源展望》中，美國能源信息署（EIA）上調(diào)了對2022年和2023年美國全國平均汽油價格的預(yù)測，稱其現(xiàn)在預(yù)計2022年汽油平均價格為4.07美元/加侖，上月預(yù)測為4.05美元/加侖，并預(yù)計2023年汽油平均價格為3.59美元/加侖，而上月預(yù)測為3.57美元/加侖。由于汽油價格在過去八周內(nèi)大幅下跌，上調(diào)汽油價格似乎有些不正常。但EIA仍在追趕年初時的低預(yù)期，當(dāng)時該機(jī)構(gòu)沒有預(yù)料到4月、5月和6月初的創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄價格飆升，6月14日美國全國平均汽油價格飆升至每加侖5.02美元的歷史高點(diǎn)。

EIA Lifts Gasoline Price Forecasts for 2022, 2023

In its monthly Short Term Energy Outlook, the EIA lifts its forecasts for average nationwide gasoline prices for 2022 and 2023, saying it now sees 2022 pump prices averaging $4.07 a gallon compared to a $4.05 forecast last month, and sees 2023 prices at $3.59 vs $3.57 in its month-ago outlook. The increases may seem out of whack since gas prices have dropped sharply over the past eight weeks. But the EIA is still catching up to its low forecasts at the start of the year that didn't anticipate the record-setting price surge in April, May and early June that pushed gas prices to an all-time high of $5.02 a gallon on June 14.
