據今日油價4月22日報道，在歐佩克+減產新協議達成后，石油市場崩盤加劇，沙特阿拉伯在兩周內第二次暗示，準備與歐佩克進一步采取措施，恢復石油市場穩定。

在沙特內閣會議上，討論了沙特在實現石油市場穩定方面的難題，此后還與俄羅斯聯邦確認并發表聲明，承諾在未來兩年內實施商定的有針對性的削減，繼續密切監測石油市場局勢，還準備與歐佩克+和其他產油國共同采取進一步措施。

歐佩克企圖通過達成新減產協議，來緩解全球石油需求崩潰和儲存能力萎縮給油價帶來了壓力。不過，有分析師認為，在需求驟減的情況下，新的減產協議無法對不斷增長的全球庫存產生有意義的影響，油價仍會呈螺旋式下跌，因美國庫存報告顯示，在需求驟降的情況下，商業原油庫存創下歷史新高。

盡管沙特對市場做出了應對措施，但需求崩潰、供應過剩無處可去以及石油庫存不斷減少，最終導致WTI原油歷史性暴跌至負值。

Saudi Arabia Hints At Further OPEC+ Action

As the oil market meltdown intensified a week after the new OPEC+ production cut deal, Saudi Arabia has hinted for a second time in two weeks that it is ready to take further measures with OPEC to restore oil market stability.

At a Tuesday meeting of the Saudi cabinet chaired by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, discussed Saudi Arabia's "keenness to achieve stability in the oil market, its affirmation with the Russian Federation of a firm commitment to implement agreed targeted cuts over the next two years, their continuing monitoring of oil market situations closely, and being prepared to take further measures jointly with OPEC+ and other producers,” the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

Collapsing global oil demand and shrinking storage capacity have pressured oil prices since the OPEC+ group came up with a new plan to restore ‘stability on the market’ – its proxy PR buzzword for driving oil prices higher.

The market and analysts, however, see the new deal as ‘too little too late’ to make a meaningful impact on growing global inventories amid crashing demand.

Despite the OPEC+ deal, prices continued on a downward spiral last week as inventory reports in the United States showed a record-breaking commercial crude build amid crashing demand.

Despite the typical Saudi jawboning of the market, the demand destruction and the swelling storage with oversupply nowhere to go led to a historic crash in WTI Crude into negative territory on Monday.
