据OilNOW网站1月17日消息 周一油价保持稳定，因为投资者押注全球供应将保持紧张，主要生产商的限制被产量的上升所抵消。

截至格林威治标准时间09:53，布伦特原油下跌4美分，跌幅0.1%，至每桶86.02美元。交易日早些时候，该合约价格触及2018年10月3日以来的最高点，为每桶86.71美元。

美国西部得克萨斯原油期货价格上涨20美分，涨幅0.2%，收于每桶84.02美元，触及84.78美元，为2021年11月10日以来最早的一次交易。

交易员断言新冠变种奥密克戎不会对需求产生太大的影响，这使得布伦特原油期货的涨势可能持续一段时间。

Fujitomi Securities分析师Toshitaka Tazawa表示：“由于（生产国集团）欧佩克+没有提供足够的供应来满足强劲的全球需求，看涨情绪仍在继续。”

欧佩克+正在逐步放松2020年需求崩溃时实施的减产。

新冠的出现，许多较小的生产商无法提高供应，而其他一些则对减产太多感到警惕。

Oil holds firm just above $86

Oil prices were steady on Monday, as investor bets that global supply will remain tight amid restraint by major producers were offset.

Brent crude was down 4 cents, or 0.1%, to $86.02 a barrel by 0953 GMT. Earlier in the session, the contract touched its highest since Oct. 3, 2018, at $86.71.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 20 cents, or 0.2%, at $84.02 a barrel, after hitting $84.78, the highest since Nov. 10, 2021, earlier in the session.

Frantic oil buying, driven by supply outages and signs the Omicron variant of COVID-19 will not be as disruptive as feared for fuel demand, has pushed some crude grades to multi-year highs, suggesting the rally in Brent futures could be sustained a while longer, traders said.

“The bullish sentiment is continuing as (producer group) OPEC+ is not providing enough supply to meet strong global demand,” said Toshitaka Tazawa, an analyst at Fujitomi Securities.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and their allies, together known as OPEC+, are gradually relaxing output cuts implemented when demand collapsed in 2020.

But many smaller producers cannot raise supply and others have been wary of pumping too much oil in case of renewed COVID-19 setbacks.
