据彭博社8月24日报道称，在过去四个月中，投资者对全球原油价格将上涨的乐观情绪已经下跌近一半。
对冲基金对布伦特原油的净看涨头寸-积极资金管理者如何获利的价格衡量方法，自4月初以来已经下跌了49％，因贸易战令石油消费前景蒙上阴影。尽管北海油田罢工和美国库存减少，基准指数仍表现良好，但布伦特原油价格较今年5月份的峰值下降约6％。
美国银行财富管理部门负责1510亿美元资产的马克沃特金斯说。“当你开始关注全球不同的经济体 - 欧洲，亚洲时，新兴市场肯定会开始遇到一些阻力。”投资者“可能会更关注2018年的剩余时间，可能进入2019年，这一需求会比之前有所减弱。”

Investor Optimism Over the past four months, investor optimism that global crude prices will rise has slumped by almost half.
Hedge funds’ net-bullish position “When you start to look at the different economies across the globe -- Europe, Asia, the emerging markets are definitely starting to hit some headwinds,” said Mark Watkins, who helps oversee $151 billion at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. Investors “are potentially getting a little bit more concerned about the rest of 2018, and probably going into 2019, that demand might be a little bit softer than previously had been.”
