据油价网4月3日报道，周日，OPEC+宣布意外减产约116万桶/天，将减产总量增加至366万桶/天。
消息一出，油价飙升，最初上涨了8%，随后略有回落。
美国批评了这一举措，称在当前市场不确定性的情况下进行减产是不明智的。
OPEC+周日宣布将进一步减产，每日减产约116万桶，令石油市场感到意外。
路透社在一份报告中指出，随着新的减产，欧佩克+的减产总量将达到每天366万桶，占全球石油需求的3.7%。
英国《金融时报》报道称，减产消息公布后，油价立即上涨8%，并指出沙特阿拉伯的减产份额将达到50万桶/天，几乎占总产量的一半。
与此同时，产能大国表示，将把今年早些时候宣布的50万桶/天的减产延长至2023年底。
英国《金融时报》指出，这一声明的不同寻常之处在于，它是在该集团每月例会之外宣布的。下一次例会将于今日举行。
美国政府预计会批评此举，称现在不是减产的时候。
“考虑到市场的不确定性，我们认为削减开支是不明智的，我们已经明确表示了这一点。”国家安全委员会的一位发言人在接受《国会山报》采访时表示。
“但我们关注的是美国消费者的价格，而不是每桶原油的最初价格，自去年以来，消费价格已经大幅下降，比去年夏天的峰值每加仑超过1.5美元。”这位发言人补充道。
欧佩克+进一步减产的举动是在上个月油价大幅下跌之后做出的。
这些事件引发了人们对西方银行体系稳定性的担忧，人们还担心经济衰退会影响石油需求。
Energy Aspects的Amrita Sen对路透表示：“OPEC正在采取先发制人的措施，以防需求可能减少。”

Oil Prices Soar As OPEC+ Shocks The Market
On Sunday, OPEC+ announced a surprise production cut of some 1.16 million barrels per day, increasing the total OPEC+ cut to 3.66 million bpd.
Oil prices soared on the news, climbing by 8% initially before falling back slightly.
The U.S. criticized the move, saying that it wasn’t wise to make cuts given the current market uncertainty.
OPEC+ on Sunday surprised oil markets with an announcement that it will reduce its output further, by some 1.16 million barrels daily.
Reuters noted in a report that with the new cut, the total output reduction amount from OPEC+ will come in at 3.66 million barrels daily, or 3.7% of global oil demand.
The Financial Times reported that oil prices had gained 8% immediately after the announcement, noting Saudi Arabia’s share of the cuts would be almost half of the total, at 500,000 bpd.
The largger producer meanwhile, said it would extend the production cuts of 500,000 bpd it announced earlier this year until the end of 2023.
The FT noted the unusual nature of the announcement as it was made outside the group’s regular monthly meetings, the next of which is taking place today.
The U.S. administration expectedly criticized the move, saying it was not the time to cut production.
“We don’t think cuts are advisable at this moment given market uncertainty — and we’ve made that clear,” a spokesperson for the National Security Council said, as quoted by The Hill.
“But we’re focused on prices for American consumers, not barrels, and prices have come down significantly since last year, more than $1.50 per gallon from their peak last summer,” the spokesperson, who was not named in the Hill report, added.
The move by OPEC+ to curb production further came after the sharp drop in oil prices last month, largely driven by concern about the banking industry after a couple of sizeable bank collapses in the United States.
The events sparked concern about the stability of the Western banking system, reinforced by the near-death experience of Credit Suisse, and fear of a recession that would affect oil demand.
"OPEC is taking pre-emptive steps in case of any possible demand reduction," Energy Aspects’ Amrita Sen told Reuters.
