石油设备网讯 据道琼斯6月1日消息，瑞士联合银行（UBS）表示，油价上涨正推动欧洲炼油商的利润率略有下降，但美元走强正在提振盈利。受油价上涨等因素的推动，这家瑞士投资银行将2018年欧洲炼油商的利润率预测值下调0.5美元/桶，降至4.2美元/桶。瑞银将2018年布伦特原油价格预测从每桶63美元上调至每桶73美元，长期预测为每桶70美元。瑞银表示：“对欧洲炼油商的盈利而言，炼油利润率下降的负面影响被美元走强所抵消。美元走强推动了该行业在2019年至2020年期间的息税折旧摊销前利润（EBITDA）增长约3%。”

Oil Rise Hits Europe Refiners' Margins: UBS
Higher oil prices are driving European refiners' margins slightly lower, but the stronger dollar is boosting earnings, says UBS. The Swiss investment bank cuts its European margin forecast by $0.5 a barrel to $4.2 a barrel for 2018, driven by factors including the higher price of oil. UBS raises its Brent crude price forecast to $73 a barrel in 2018 from $63 a barrel, with a long-term forecast of $70 a barrel. "For the companies' earnings, the negative impact of lower refining margins is offset by the stronger dollar, which drives an [about] 3% increase to the sector's EBITDA over 2019-20," UBS says.
