Will oil prices continue to strengthen under geopolitical concerns, remaining a market focus?

截止4月27日，布伦特原油仍处于105美元/桶的高位。受能源价格上涨的推动，西方石油股价今年已上涨了一倍，虽近两周有所波动，但区间震荡中仍有较强支撑力。自2月底以来，“股神”巴菲特连续三周增持该公司股份，现在已持有西方石油近15%的在外流通股，价值约70亿美元。

API数据显示美国原油累库487.4万桶超市场预期，在地缘忧虑足以盖过其他利空因素之前，这将可能是限制油价的表现。从实货窗口及布伦特月差表现来看近期供应紧张局面在缓解，从原油绝对价的表现来看，高位震荡区域在收敛，市场还存在较大不确定性。在这样的局面下，投资者应该谨慎找寻投资机会。

I. Hot Topic Interpretation

根据市场分析师的建议、资讯内容的整理，我们梳理了以下应对策略供大家参考：

● 若你认为原油供应紧张缓解后，不看好油价继续上行：

可以用好原油期货这一投资利器。微型WTI原油期货，只需不到2000USD即可开仓。

期货拥有更灵活的T+0双向交易模式，便于随时把握行情，能更好地规避高位回调风险，更契合中小投资者的投资需求。WTI轻质原油期货是世界上最具流动性和交投最活跃的原油合约，可以提供当今全球石油市场最有效的交易方法。而微型WTI原油期货期货合约为标准原油期货合约的十分之一，这让市场参与者能高效且实惠地投资于原油市场。
