Oil Stocks Jump After Biden Releases 50M Barrels From US Strategic Petroleum Reserve
The United States Oil ETF (NYSE:USO) traded higher by 2.4% on Tuesday after President Joe Biden announced he will be releasing oil from U.S. strategic reserves in an attempt to lower global gasoline prices.
這個美國石油ETF(紐約證券交易所股票代碼：USO)週二上漲2.4%，此前美國總統喬·拜登(Joe Biden)宣佈他將從美國戰略儲備中釋放石油，試圖降低全球汽油價格。
What Happened? The White House said Tuesday the U.S. will release 50 million barrels of crude oil from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The decision is part of a coordinated effort with China, Japan and other energy consuming nations to combat a rapid rise in energy prices. U.S. gasoline prices are currently near seven-year highs.
發生了什麼？白宮星期二説，美國將從戰略石油儲備中釋放5000萬桶原油。這一決定是與中國、日本和其他能源消費國共同努力抗擊能源價格快速上漲的一部分。美國汽油價格目前接近七年高位。
Why It’s Important: The coordinated oil release includes U.S., India, China, Japan, Korea and the United Kingdom and is the first of its kind in history.
為什麼它很重要：這次協調的石油釋放包括美國、印度、中國、日本、韓國和英國，這在歷史上是第一次。
“The President stands ready to take additional action, if needed, and is prepared to use his full authorities working in coordination with the rest of the world to maintain adequate supply as we exit the pandemic,” the White House said in a statement.
白宮在一份聲明中説：“總統隨時準備在必要時採取額外行動，並準備利用他的全部權力，與世界其他國家協調工作，在我們退出疫情期間保持充足的供應。”
As of Nov. 19, the U.S. SPR held 604.5 million barrels, according to the Department of Energy. The current release represents about 8.2% of the total U.S. SPR.
根據能源部的數據，截至11月19日，美國SPR石油儲備為6.045億桶。目前的版本約佔美國SPR總數的8.2%。

It’s not the first time the U.S. has released oil from its SPR:
這已經不是美國第一次從戰略石油儲備中釋放石油了：
- In 1991, President George H.W. Bush released 17 million barrels during the first Gulf War.
- In 2005, President George W. Bush released 11 million barrels following Hurricane Katrina.
- In 2011, President Barack Obama released 30 million barrels to counter production disruptions in Libya.
- 1991年，喬治·H·W·布什(George H.W.Bush)總統在第一次海灣戰爭期間釋放了1700萬桶石油。
- 2005年，喬治·W·布什(George W.Bush)總統在卡特里娜颶風過後釋放了1100萬桶石油。
- 2011年，美國總統巴拉克·奧巴馬(Barack Obama)釋放了3000萬桶石油，以應對利比亞的生產中斷。
“On the surface- the WH announcement and details just leave me disappointed- go big or go home, and I think the WH struck out,” GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan said on Twitter. “Oil trading slightly higher, make no mistake-if OPEC comes out shortly and has a strong statement, we'll be back to $80 in no time.”
GasBuddy分析師帕特里克·德漢(Patrick De Haan)在Twitter上表示：“從表面上看，萬洲國際的聲明和細節只是讓我失望--要麼大幹一場，要麼回家，我認為萬洲國際出局了。”“油價小幅走高，別搞錯了--如果歐佩克很快就出來發表強有力的聲明，我們很快就會回到80美元。”
Several oil and gas stocks were among the biggest gainers in the S&P 500 on Tuesday following the announcement:
消息公佈後，幾家石油和天然氣類股週二在標普500指數中漲幅居前：
- Devon Energy Corp (NYSE:DVN) shares were up 4.8%.
- APA Corp (US) (NASDAQ:APA) shares were up 5.3%.
- Hess Corp. (NYSE:HES) shares were up 5.2%.
- 德文能源公司(紐約證券交易所代碼：DVN)股價上漲4.8%。
- APA公司(美國)納斯達克(Sequoia Capital：APA)股價上漲5.3%。
- 赫斯公司(Hess Corp.)(紐約證券交易所代碼：HES)股價上漲5.2%。
Benzinga’s Take: Given oil and natural gas prices were both trading significantly higher on Tuesday following news of the SPR release, it seems the market has already priced in the possibility of an even larger release. Bank of America recently projected Brent crude oil prices will average $85 per barrel in 2022, with price spikes as high as $120/bbl.
本辛加的觀點：鑑於在SPR發佈的消息傳出後，石油和天然氣價格週二均大幅上漲，市場似乎已經消化了更大規模發佈的可能性。美國銀行(Bank Of America)最近預測，2022年布倫特原油平均價格將達到每桶85美元，價格飆升至每桶120美元。
