据道琼斯10月18日消息，油价周三收盘大幅下跌，因美国石油库存再次大幅上升，且股市震荡，引发有关全球石油需求可能开始下滑的担忧。
纽约商交所十一月份交割的轻质低硫原油期货结算价下跌3%，至69.75美元/桶，结束连续三个交易日的上涨走势。全球基准布伦特原油期货结算价下跌1.7%，至80.05美元/桶。
周三导致原油期货下跌的关键因素是能源情报署(EIA)公布的周度原油报告表现悲观。
除了该数据以外，分析师指出油价和股市的联系更加紧密，这显示投资者可能更趋避石油和其他大宗商品等风险资产。

DJ Oil Tumbles Oil prices dropped sharply Wednesday as another large increase in U.S. oil inventories and volatility Light, sweet crude for November delivery fell 3% to end at $69.75 a barrel The key factor to oil's drop Wednesday was a bearish weekly report released by the government's Energy Information Administration in Washington.
Beyond the data, however, analysts are noting a stronger link between oil prices and stock markets, a sign that investors may be turning more averse to riskier assets such as oil and other commodities.
