美聯儲洛根：即使油價維持高位，天然氣運輸能力等限制因素也可能阻礙生產商提高產量。

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has again been disrupted, exposing oil markets to a supply shock similar to March’s outage that removed roughly 4 mln bpd. An IMF blog on Wednesday says the March–May shortfall of about 4 mln bpd was largely absorbed by drawing inventories. The IEA previously executed its largest strategic release, putting roughly 400 mln barrels from emergency stocks into the market, and other major consumers trimmed refinery runs and relied on domestic stocks. IMF warns most of that shock absorber has been consumed; without inventory replenishment the world will be more exposed to any subsequent shock.

Interim president RODRIGUEZ said Venezuela's oil production is expected to reach 1.4 mln b/d by year-end.
