国际原油价格体系及原油衍生品市场对我国原油期货发展的启示

The Inspiration of International Crude Oil Pricing Mechanism and Derivatives Market to China’s Crude Oil Futures

摘要: 国际原油价格体系经历了三大重要历史阶段，最终形成了当下以原油期货为基准价格的计价机制。此间，世界上形成了WTI、BRENT和DUBAI三大主要原油金融衍生品市场，在国际原油定价中发挥了重要作用，对我国上海原油期货的未来发展极具启示。尽管我国上海原油期货在市场规模上已经位居世界第三，但为了更好地实现上海原油期货价格发现、服务实体经济的功能，应该进一步完善交割机制、拓展交易时间、丰富交易产品、建立配套场外衍生品市场。
