特朗普政府督促各大石油消费国减少从伊朗进口石油

Crude prices accelerated on Tuesday after reports that the US is pushing big oil consumer nations to cut their imports from Iran following the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal in May.

原油价格周二加速上涨，此前有报道称，特朗普政府今年5月退出伊朗核协议后，美国正在敦促各大石油消费国减少从伊朗进口石油。

A state department official said the US will not offer any waivers to traditional buyers of the country’s oil, after it reimposed sanctions on Iran’s energy sector and exports, which are due to kick in later this year.

美国国务院一名官员表示，美国不会给予伊朗石油的传统买家任何豁免。此前，美国宣布恢复对伊朗能源行业和出口实施制裁，这些措施将于今年晚些时候生效。

US representatives are set to travel to India and China to persuade them to “go to zero”, Reuters and Bloomberg reported. This would be a change from previous years when Iran was under a previous round of sanctions and special allowances were made.

据路透社(Reuters)和彭博(Bloomberg)报道，美国代表将前往印度和中国，劝说他们减少从伊朗进口石油。这将不同于几年前的情况----当时伊朗受到上一轮制裁，但是有特别安排。

Brent crude, the international benchmark, rose by 1.40 dollars a barrel to 76.14 dollars, while West Texas Intermediate, the US marker, increased by 2.20 dollars a barrel to 70.27 dollars. The price moves came despite reports that Saudi Arabia would ramp up output.

国际基准布伦特原油(Brent crude)上涨1.40美元，至每桶76.14美元，美国基准西德克萨斯中质原油(West Texas Intermediate)上涨2.20美元，至每桶70.27美元。此轮油价上涨是在沙特阿拉伯据报道将增产石油的背景下出现的。

The kingdom and Russia said on Saturday global producers would increase output by 1million barrel per day in response to concerns from consumer countries — namely the US — that had protested the rise in crude prices above 80 dollars a barrel last month.

沙特与俄罗斯上周六表示，全球产油国每天将增产100万桶，以回应对原油价格上月涨至每桶80美元以上表示不满的消费国（尤其是美国）的担忧。

Energy analysts have been briefed by the kingdom to expect its domestic output to increase to at least 10.6 million barrel per day in the coming months, with Bloomberg reporting that production could surge to 10.8 million per day in July alone. Saudi Arabia pumped around 10 million per day in May.

听取了沙特方面简报的能源分析师预计，未来几个月沙特国内原油产量将增至每日至少1060万桶。彭博报道称，仅7月的产量就可能猛增至每日1080万桶。沙特5月的原油产量约为每日1000万桶。
