石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯6月19日新加坡报道,6月上半月在2美元/桶左右的窄幅区间波动之后，周二在亚洲交易时段收盘时，8月迪拜现金交换价差达到当月高位2.35美元/桶。
标普全球资讯数据显示，上周五评估为2.04美元/桶后，本周中东酸性原油市场情绪指标已稳步上涨。新加坡时间周一下午4:30（格林威治标准时间0830）的评估价为2.19美元/桶。
交易商认为，因为在尽可能长时间等待以期价格将继续下跌之后，炼油商试图在本月底之前采购货物，因此买家的兴趣略有回升。
周二新加坡一位原油交易员表示：“买家持看跌观点，所以他们选择等待，但市场并没有达到他们所希望的程度。”该贸易商称，炼油商宁愿在现行市场价格之上支付少量溢价，也不愿意在此时损失货物。

Dubai crude structure hits month-to-date high at $2.35/b
The August Dubai cash to swap spread hit a month-to-date high at $2.35/b at the close of Asia trading Tuesday after tracking within a narrow range around $2/b for the first half of June.
The spread, an indicator of sentiment in the Middle East sour crude market, has risen steadily this week after being assessed at $2.04/b last Friday, S&P Global Platts data showed. It was assessed at $2.19/b at 4:30 pm Singapore time (0830 GMT) on Monday.
Traders attributed the rise to a modest resurgence in buying appetite as refiners try to procure cargoes before the end of the month, after having waited as long as possible to do so in the hope that prices would keep falling.
"Buyers had a bearish view, so [they] waited, but the market didn't come off [to the level they would have liked]," said a crude trader in Singapore on Tuesday. Refiners would rather pay a small premium on top of the prevailing market rate than lose a cargo at this point, the trader added.
