據路透社6月18日報道，油價周四基本穩定，布倫特原油在歐佩克成員國及其盟國開會前收復了歐洲早盤跌幅。在需求擔憂的背景下，歐佩克成員國及其盟友將召開會議。

格林尼治時間07：25，布倫特原油期貨上漲2美分，至每桶40.73美元。美國西德克薩斯中質原油期貨CLc1下跌14美分，至每桶37.82美元。這兩個基準股指在盤中早些時候都下跌了約2%。

AxiTrader市場策略師斯蒂芬?英尼斯(Stephen Innes)表示:“市場繼續在重新放開的樂觀情緒與圍繞疫情二次爆發帶來的經濟不確定性的未知因素之間尋找平衡。”

美國原油庫存連續第二周升至紀錄高位，打壓市場人氣，但美國政府數據顯示汽油和餾分油(包括柴油和取暖油)庫存下降，顯示需求上升。

預計歐佩克+在周四晚些時候舉行一次線上會議，討論創紀錄的每日減產970萬桶的協議未來走向。兩名歐佩克消息人士周三表示，5月份歐佩克遵守原油減產遵守率達87%。

一名歐佩克消息人士稱，伊拉克和哈薩克斯坦料將在周四召開的歐佩克+部長級委員會會議上提出減產計劃和對生產過剩的補償。

歐佩克在一份月度報告中警告稱，盡管需求有所改善，但市場在2020年下半年仍將處于過剩狀態，因為該組織目前預計，來自歐佩克以外國家的日產量將比此前預計的高出約30萬桶。

Oil prices stable ahead of OPEC+ meeting

Oil prices were broadly stable on Thursday as Brent erased losses in early European trading ahead of a meeting of OPEC members and their allies against the backdrop of demand concerns over new coronavirus cases in China and elsewhere.

Brent crude LCOc1 futures were up 2 cents at $40.73 a barrel at 0725 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 futures dropped 14 cents to $37.82 a barrel.

Both benchmarks were down about 2% earlier in the session.

“The market continues to balance re-opening optimism with unknowns around the economic uncertainties from a secondary outbreak of the virus,” said Stephen Innes, market strategist at AxiTrader.

A rise in U.S. crude stockpiles to a record high for a second week in a row weighed on sentiment, but U.S. government data showed lower inventories of gasoline and distillates, which includes diesel and heating oil, indicating higher demand.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, a group known as OPEC+, are expected to hold an online meeting later on Thursday to discuss the future of a record 9.7 million barrels per day output cut.

OPEC+ compliance with crude production cut commitments in May was 87%, two OPEC+ sources said on Wednesday.

Iraq and Kazakhstan are expected to present their plans for production cuts and compensation for overproduction to a meeting of the OPEC+ ministerial committee, known as the JMMC, on Thursday, one OPEC+ source said.

OPEC warned in a monthly report the market would remain in surplus in the second half of 2020 even as demand improves, as it now expects supply from outside the group to be about 300,000 barrels per day higher than earlier thought.
