中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社1月9日报道，亚洲需求市场对原油进口的慷慨配额提振了石油，世界最大买家需求复苏的希望再次出现。
西得克萨斯中质油（WTI）周一上涨1.2%，收于每桶74美元以上。这是一个信号，市场正在准备满足更多需求。美元走弱也提振了以美元计价的大宗商品吸引力。价格盘中最高上涨了4%，但由于远期曲线仍然闪烁着未来的疲软，许多交易员表示，77美元附近的价格是卖出的触发点。
本周还标志着全球最重要商品指数年度再平衡的开始，这个时期通常以整个大宗原材料市场的波动为特征。根据花旗集团(Citigroup Inc.)和法国兴业银行(Societe Generale SA)的估计，在此期间应该有超过10亿美元的资金流入全球布伦特石油市场，同时导致WTI的资金流出。
2月份交割的WTI指数上涨86美分，在纽约报收于每桶74.63美元。
3月份交割的布伦特原油上涨1.08美元，报收于每桶79.64美元。
原油今年开局低迷，上周公布的跌幅约为8%，因为最近石油市场闪现疲软迹象。目前，尽管最近几天流动性指标出现了改善，但交易商仍正在等待市场需求出现实质回升。

Prices:
WTI for February delivery advanced 86 cents to settle at $74.63 a barrel in New York.
Brent for March settlement rose $1.08 to settle at $79.64 a barrel.
Crude had a sluggish start to the year, posting a drop of around 8% last week as nearby oil markers flash signs of weakness. For now traders are awaiting signs of a meaningful uptick in Chinese demand, though there has been improvement in mobility gauges over recent days.
