中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2023年3月6日利雅得报道，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）将其出口到亚洲和欧洲的原油的官方售价又上调了一个月，其旗舰产品阿拉伯轻质原油在4月份的官方售价将比3月份每桶高出0.5美元。
阿拉伯重质原油的官方售价上涨更为明显，达到每桶2.50美元，使原油混合价格从低于阿曼/迪拜平均价格的折扣上升至溢价。
路透社在一篇报道中指出，油价上涨之际，沙特阿拉伯的几家新炼油厂很快将开始运营，这将减少其可供出口的原油数量。
这是沙特阿拉伯原油官方售价连续第二个月上调。2月份的提价令人意外，因为这是沙特阿美过去6个月来首次上调原油官方价格。3月份的价格上涨也是在国际市场原油价格下跌的情况下进行的，这使得此举令人惊讶，而且一个月前沙特阿美已经降低了官方售价。
然而现在，尽管人们仍对全球经济状况感到担忧，但经济正开始恢复正常运行，今年有望实现5%的经济增长，这促使看涨石油的人士重新变得乐观起来。
与此同时，油价本周以下跌开始。原因之一是，分析师此前预计今年将设定更高的增长目标。另一个原因是美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔本周晚些时候将在国会作证，届时他将暗示今年是否会进一步加息。
石油市场咨询机构Vanda Insights的创始人万达娜·哈里对路透社记者表示：“原油价格仍处于拉锯战之中，一方面是对重新开放的乐观情绪，另一方面是对鹰派美联储伤害美国经济的紧张情绪。”

Saudi Aramco Hikes Oil Prices>Saudi Aramco raised the official selling price for the crude oil it exports to Asia and Europe for yet another month, with the flagship Arab Light to sell in April for $0.50 more than in March.
The price hike for Arab Heavy was even more pronounced, at $2.50 per barrel, moving the crude blend from a discount to the Oman/Dubai average to a premium.
In a report, Reuters noted that the price hikes come as several new refineries in Saudi Arabia are set to soon begin operating, and this would shrink the amount of crude available for exports.
This is the second consecutive month with higher prices for Saudi crude. Last month’s hike came as a surprise as it was the first time in six months that Aramco had hiked prices for its crude. The March price hike also came amid falling crude oil prices>Yet now, despite continued concern for the state of the global economy, It is beginning to return to normal operation, eyeing economic growth of 5% this year, which has motivated a return of optimism among oil bulls.
Oil prices, meanwhile, started the week with a decline.>"Crude remains in a tug-of-war between optimism over the reopening and nervousness over a hawkish Fed hurting the U.S. economy," energy analyst Vandana Hari told Reuters.
