石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月12日伦敦报道，在过去的六周里，对冲基金已经卖出了差不多5亿桶原油和精炼产品，因为市场对需求放缓的担忧取代了之前的担忧。 对冲基金和其他基金经理在截至11月6日的一周内，将其在六大石油期货和期权合约中的净多头头寸再减少1.08亿桶。 自9月底以来，投资组合经理们已售出4.79亿桶原油和产品，这是至少自2013年以来6个星期内最大跌幅，也可能是可比时间框架内的最大跌幅。 目前，各基金持有的看涨多头头寸少于4只，低于9月底的12:1，为2017年8月以来的最低水平。 大部分调整来自市场的长期面，因为以前看涨的对冲基金在2017年下半年和2018年早些时候将累积的头寸变现。 看涨期长原油的数量已从六周前的11.95亿桶和年初的16.25亿桶降至8.49亿桶。 监管机构和交易所公布的一份头寸数据分析显示，看涨头寸目前处于2016年9月以来的最低水平。 自10月3日以来，基金的大量抛售推动油价下跌超过了每桶15美元（17%）。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Hedge funds enforce correction to oil market’s course: Kemp Hedge funds have sold the equivalent of almost half a billion barrels of crude oil and refined products in the last six weeks, as worries about slowing demand replaced earlier concern over sanctions on Iran. Hedge funds and other money managers cut their combined net long position in the six major petroleum futures and options contracts by another 108 million barrels in the week to Nov. 6. Portfolio managers have sold 479 million barrels of crude and products since the end of September, the largest reduction in any six-week period since at least 2013 and probably the largest ever in a comparable timeframe . Funds now hold fewer than four bullish long positions for every short bearish one, down from more than 12:1 at the end of September and the lowest ratio since August 2017. Most of the adjustment has come from the long side of the market, as formerly bullish hedge funds liquidate positions accumulated in the second half of 2017 and earlier in 2018. The number of bullish long positions has fallen to just 849 million barrels, from 1.195 billion six weeks ago and a record 1.625 billion at the start of the year. Bullish positions are now at the lowest level since September 2016, according to an analysis of position data published by regulators and exchanges. Heavy selling by funds has helped push oil prices down more than $15 per barrel (17 percent) since Oct. 3.
