据今日油价网站1月3日消息 美国能源信息管理局（EIA）的一份最新报告显示，2021年底的能源价格比年初上涨了59%。 

在疫情期间，能源价格的上涨超过了其他商品所带来的收益。高盛商品指数（GSCI）中的大多数其他商品价格上涨约20%，但贵金属除外，贵金属价格下跌。 

在跟踪全球大宗商品市场表现的大宗商品指数的能源部分中，RBOB（批发汽油）涨幅最大，为67%，其次是取暖油，然后是WTI和布伦特。天然气、石油和天然气为GSCI主要能源部分。 

WTI和布伦特油价分别上涨62%和55%。 

支撑能源指数价格的因素包括天气中断（包括2021年2月份的冰冻和飓风艾达），以及汽油和柴油需求的增加，以及原油和天然气需求的增加超过了产量。 

疫情将石油和天然气的投资降到接近创纪录的负荷，放大了原油供需之间的差异。 

在截至2021年12月24日的一周内，美国原油产量从2020年3月的1310万桶/日下降到1180万桶/日。

美国和其他地方的能源价格飙升可能阻碍经济进一步复苏。

Energy Prices Rose 59% In 2021

Energy prices at the end of 2021 were 59% higher than they were at the beginning of the year, according to a new report by the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The boom in energy prices—which was more than the gains seen by other commodities—was largely the result of economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. Most other commodity prices in the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) saw about a 20% increase, with the exception of precious metals, which saw a decline.

Within the energy portion of the commodity index that tracks the performance of global commodities markets, RBOB (wholesale gasoline) saw the largest gain at 67%, followed by heating oil, then WTI and Brent. Gasoil and natural gas rounded out the energy segment of the GSCI. 

WTI and Brent saw a 62% and 55% gain, respectively.

Bolstering the energy index prices included weather disruptions (including the February freeze and Hurricane Ida), as well as increased demand for gasoline and diesel, and an increased demand for crude oil and natural gas that outpaced production. 

The Covid-19 pandemic drug down the investments in oil and gas to a near-record load, magnifying the discrepancy between crude oil supply and demand.

Crude oil production rose to 11.8 million bpd in the United States for the week ending December 24, the last week for which the EIA has supplied data, down from 13.1 million bpd in March 2020, when demand destruction was not yet evident in the market.

Ironically, it is these energy price spikes—in the United States and elsewhere—that may stymie further economic recovery.
