中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社1月2日伦敦报道，穆迪投资者服务公司周二表示，该公司预计今年油价将在每桶40美元至60美元之间，即便需求上升，

美国充足的天然气供应也会限制油价进一步上升。

穆迪表示：“在美国页岩油产量增加、已经减少但仍有大量全球供应以及潜在不履行减产协议特别是需求增长更加不温不热的情况下，油价很有可

能仍将保持窄幅波动和很有可能不稳定。”

穆迪表示，油价在2017年年底的上涨受到了欧佩克延长减产协议和中东“政治动荡”的支撑。

Moody's Sees Oil Prices At $40-$60 Per Barrel This Year

Moody's Investors Service said on Tuesday it expects oil prices in the range of $40 to $60 per barrel in 2018, with abundant

supplies of U.S. natural gas constraining prices, even while demand goes up.

"Prices will likely remain range-bound, and possibly volatile, on a combination of increasing U.S. shale production, reduced but

still significant global supplies, and potential non-compliance with agreed production cuts - especially if demand growth is more

tepid," Moody's said.

Oil price rise in late 2017 was supported by assumptions of OPEC extending its agreement to cut production and "political unrest"

in the middle east, Moody's said.
