據(jù)彭博社5月17日報道，在對美國債務(wù)上限談判持樂觀態(tài)度的情況下，原油價格上漲，交易商們紛紛接納高風險資產(chǎn)，而基本忽視了美國庫存報告的看跌因素。

周三，原油價格穩(wěn)定在每桶72美元以上，因為市場對提高美國政府支出限制的協(xié)議可能性抱有希望，這在全球市場上推動了更廣泛的風險偏好情緒。然而，一份看跌的報告顯示，上周美國原油庫存增加了超過500萬桶，是自今年1月以來最大增幅，這限制了一些漲勢。

帝國商業(yè)銀行私人財富管理部門（Private Wealth）的高級能源交易員Rebecca Babin表示：“今天的交易行為證明了基本面實際上處于次要位置。如果不是直接看跌的話，數(shù)據(jù)令人失望；但原油價格保持穩(wěn)定，因為風險偏好態(tài)勢塑造了宏觀交易環(huán)境?！?/p>

今年以來，由于全球經(jīng)濟復蘇速度較慢、美聯(lián)儲實施積極的貨幣緊縮政策以及對美國債務(wù)上限的擔憂，原油價格下跌了約9.4%。然而，美國4月份零售銷售增長，表明在經(jīng)濟逆風面前，全球最大經(jīng)濟體的消費支出依然堅挺。

Oil Rises Amid Broader Risk On Sentiment

Oil advanced as traders embraced risky assets amid optimism for the US debt-ceiling talks, largely ignoring a bearish US stockpile report.

Crude settled above $72 a barrel on Wednesday as hopes that a deal to raise the US government’s spending limit is possible drove a broader risk-on sentiment across markets. Capping some of the gains was a bearish report that showed US stockpiles rising more than 5 million barrels last week, the biggest increase since January.

“Trading action today kind of proves that fundamentals are really in the backseat,” said Rebecca Babin, a senior energy trader at CIBC Private Wealth. “The dataset was underwhelming — if not outright bearish — but crude is holding up as a risk-on tone shapes the macro trading environment.”

Crude is down about 9.4% this year as the world's slower-than-expected recovery, the Federal Reserve’s aggressive monetary tightening campaign and concerns over the US debt ceiling weigh on the outlook. Still, US retail sales rose in April, suggesting that consumer spending in the world’s biggest economy is holding up in the face of economic headwinds.
