原文地址：Oil Prices Rise as Chinese Stimulus Prompts Higher Demand Forecasts
新闻日期：2024-09-24
原文摘要：
1042 GMT – Oil prices rise, with Brent crude gaining 2.4% to $74.95 a barrel and WTI rising 2.6% to $72.19 a barrel. The recent gains were mainly driven by China’s announcement of an economic stimulus package—including lower lending rates—aimed at jumpstarting its slowing economy, says Ricardo Evangelista, senior analyst at ActivTrades. The move helped alleviate concerns of weak Chinese economic activity, which had weighed on oil prices. In response, traders are adjusting their forecasts to factor in higher demand, Evangelista says in a note. Other factors propping up oil’s rally include simmering tensions between Israel and Iran’s proxies in Lebanon, which pose a risk of escalation that could disrupt global oil supply, coupled with hurricane threats in the U.S. Gulf Coast, Evangelista adds. (joseph.hoppe@wsj.com) 0802 GMT – Oil prices rise, with Brent crude up 1.3% at $74.18 a barrel and WTI up 1.5% at $71.44 a barrel. Oil’s positive momentum reflects elevated tensions in the Middle East, fresh hurricane threats in North America and supportive fiscal measures introduced in China, ING analysts say in a note. Israel’s latest airstrikes on militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon have raised fears of a wider war in the region, which could seriously disrupt supply, market watchers say. At the same time, threats of hurricane are setting in for the U.S. and Mexico, with many facilities suspending operations as preventive measures, ING says. Meanwhile, China’s central bank has announced fresh policy support for the economy, boosting the wider commodities complex, ING adds. (joseph.hoppe@wsj.com)
