据纽约彭博社1月30日消息，油价上涨近55美元/桶，为11月以来的最高点，因为政府报告显示，从沙特阿拉伯进口的原油大幅下降。
西德克萨斯中质原油上涨高达2.8%，此前美国能源信息管理局（Energy Information Administration）表示，上周国内库存上涨92万桶，低于行业和私人分析师的预测。从沙特阿拉伯进口的石油比上周下降了一半以上，达到442000桶/天，是从2010年以来数据里的第二低。汽油供应九周来首次下降。
“如果你是股市看涨的人，这会有很多好处，”Tortoise的董事总经理RobThummel说，Tortoise是一家总部位于堪萨斯州，拥有160亿美元的能源投资的公司。“欧佩克明确表示：流向美国的石油出口将会更低。”
纽约商品交易所（New York Mercantile Exchange）3月份交付的WTI原油在上午11:21上涨1.49美元至54.80美元/桶。由于政治动荡和新的制裁威胁到世界最大原油储备国委内瑞拉的出口，美国基准指数本周已经飙升。

Oil surges to yearly high amid signs of lower Saudi shipments
NEW YORK (Bloomberg) -- Oil rose near $55/bbl, the highest since November, as a government report showed a steep drop in imports from Saudi Arabia.
West Texas Intermediate crude rose as much as 2.8% after the Energy Information Administration said domestic inventories climbed by 920,000 bbl last week, below forecasts by industry and private analysts alike. imports from Saudi Arabia fell by more than half from the previous week to 442,000 bpd, the second-lowest figure in data going back to 2010. Gasoline supplies fell for the first time in nine weeks.
“There’s a lot of good in here, if you’re a market bull,” said Rob Thummel, managing director at Tortoise, a Kansas-based money manager with $16 billion in energy investments. “OPEC’s made it very clear: lower exports of oil are coming to the U.S.”
WTI for March delivery gained $1.49 to $54.80/bbl at 11:21 a.m.
