据今日油价8月11日报道，美国石油协会(API)周二报告称，在截至8月6日的一周内，原油库存减少了81.6万桶，使2021年迄今的原油总产量达到近5600万桶。
分析师此前预计本周将减少105万桶。此前一周，API报告石油库存减少87.9万桶，远低于分析师预测的近300万桶。
在经历周一油价大跌后，西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)的价格在周二稍早上涨，因对Delta病毒对亚洲和美国石油需求影响的担忧消退。周二下午，WTI在数据发布前上涨了3%以上。
美国东部时间下午4:03,WTI报每桶68.48美元，上涨2美元，但仍较上周同期下跌2美元。布伦特原油价格当天上涨2.51%，至每桶70.77美元，本周也下跌了近2美元。
尽管美国原油库存继续下降，但美国原油产量仍保持相对平稳，从年初的1100万桶/天升至目前的1120万桶/天，连续第二周保持在这个水平。
API报告称，截至8月6日当周，汽油库存减少111.4万桶，而前一周为575.1万桶。馏分油库存本周增加了67.3万桶，几乎抵消了上周71.7万桶的减幅。库欣库存继上周增加65.9万桶后，本周减少了41.3万桶。
