据普氏能源资讯 亚洲原油期货周三上午交易时段走高，因美国原油库存减少,而围绕欧佩克及其盟国的继续减产，从而市场维持价格支撑。
新加坡时间上午10点53分（格林威治时间02:53），2月份ICE布伦特原油期货价格较周二结算价每桶60.97美元上涨63美分（1.05%），而纽约商品交易所1月份轻质低硫原油合约价格上涨52美分/桶（1.0%），达到52.34美元/桶。
根据周二美国石油研究所公布的分析报告，截至12月7日的一周美国原油库存下降了1018万桶。
普氏能源调查分析预计，美国原油库存同期已下跌260万桶。
市场参与者将在周三晚些时候寻求美国能源信息管理局的报告，以确认美国原油库存的情况。
与此同时，俄罗斯能源部长亚历山大·诺瓦克周二表示，根据欧佩克牵头的减产协议，俄罗斯预计将在4个月内实现将石油日产量削减22.8万桶（2%）的目标。
德国商业银行分析师在一份报告中表示：“我们认为，如果严格执行削减措施，明年将重新平衡石油市场。”
他们补充说：“唯一的例外是第一季度的低需求，尤其是俄罗斯将只能像两年前那样逐步实施减产。”
俄罗斯总理通讯社引用诺瓦克的话说：“我们会尽力的，每家公司情况都不同，当然，四个月之内是切实可行的。”
俄罗斯承诺逐步减少产量，因为该国冬季严寒的气温使得迅速减少产量变得不切实际。这个小组将于4月份开会，审查协议的进展情况。
澳新银行分析师周三在一份报告中称，原油价格上涨是乐观的，欧佩克减产措施将稳定市场。
另外美能署（EIA）周二发布了短期能源展望，其中降低了对2019年WTI和布伦特原油现货价格的预测，这主要是由于创纪录的全球产量，尤其是美国，以及低于预期的需求。
EIA预计，WTI在2019年的平均价格为54.19美元/桶，比该机构上个月的预测低10.66美元/桶，布伦特在2019年的平均价格为61美元/桶，比上个月的预测低10.92美元/桶。
截至格林尼治时间02:53，美元指数下跌0.1%，至97.34。
