據CNBC網站4月6日消息，根據CNBC對30名策略師、分析師和交易員的調查，疫情引發的歷史性需求沖擊將在本季度加劇，削弱沙特阿拉伯、俄羅斯和美國等重量級產油國為大幅削減供應而重新平衡市場所做出的任何協調努力。

不能排除上周出現的每桶20美元或以上的基準原油期貨價格偶爾飆升的可能性，因為競爭對手沙特阿拉伯和俄羅斯試圖扭轉一場破壞性的市場份額爭奪戰，并策劃一項全球供應協議，該協議可能每天縮減1500萬桶原油，相當于全球供應量的10%左右。

看跌的預測者表示，有兩種力量將使第二季度的油價保持低迷–懷疑沙特阿拉伯和俄羅斯將屈服于價格戰，并承諾在生產者集團的歷史上進行最大幅度的削減（有或沒有美國頁巖油生產商的參與）。以及隨著疫情影響，整個經濟嚴重程度不斷加劇，全球需求出現巨大下降，導致本季度出現供過于求。

由于需求幾乎陷于癱瘓，從新加坡到加勒比海的石油和燃料罐幾乎滿載-這是全球供過于求的鮮明證據。

Oil prices could plunge below $20 a barrel this quarter

A historic demand shock sparked by the coronavirus pandemic is set to worsen in the current quarter, undermining any coordinated effort by heavyweight producers Saudi Arabia, Russia and the United States to cut supply aggressively and rebalance the market, according to a CNBC survey of 30 strategists, analysts and traders.

Episodic spikes of $20 a barrel or more in benchmark crude oil futures of the type seen last week cannot be ruled out as rivals Saudi Arabia and Russia attempt to reverse a damaging battle for market share and engineer a global supply deal which could cut up to 15 million barrels a day, the equivalent of about 10% of global supply.

Bearish forecasters said two forces would keep oil prices depressed in the second quarter — skepticism that Saudi Arabia and Russia would relent in their price war and commit to the deepest cuts in the producer group’s history (with or without participation from U.S. shale producers) and a glut in the current quarter caused by a monumental collapse in global demand as the full economic severity of the global coronavirus pandemic unfolds.

With demand at near-paralysis, oil and fuel tanks from Singapore to the Caribbean are close to brimming - stark evidence of the global glut.
