據6月3日MENAFN消息：油價周四連續第三天上漲，因市場預期今年晚些時候燃料需求將激增，特別是在美國、歐洲，與此同時主要產油國仍在遵守供應協議。

　　截至格林威治標準時間02:33，布倫特原油期貨上漲49美分，漲幅0.7%，至每桶 71.84 美元，為2019年9月以來的最高水平。國際基準指數周三上漲1.6%。

　　美國西德克薩斯中質原油期貨價格上漲44美分，漲幅0.6%，至每桶69.27美元。早些時候，油價升至69.32美元，創下2018年10月以來的最高水平，此前一個交易日上漲1.5%。

　　包括石油輸出國組織及其盟友(歐佩克+)在內的市場預測人士一致認為，2021年下半年，石油需求將超過供應，這刺激了近期的油價上漲。

　　歐佩克+數據顯示，到今年年底，石油需求將達到9980萬桶/天，而供應量為9750萬桶/天。

　　全球最大的石油消費國美國今夏汽車消費需求的復蘇，以及全球第二大石油消費國和英國擺脫新冠肺炎封鎖后燃料需求的上升，將引領這種再平衡。

　　“美國的駕駛季節是油耗高于正常水平的時期。英國的交通流量現在已經超過了大流行前的水平。"CBA大宗商品分析師Vivek Dhar在一份報告中說。“我們將繼續看到美國、歐洲和中國引領的石油需求復蘇。”

　　歐佩克+周二同意繼續實施計劃，到7月份放松供應限制。

　　歐佩克+會議持續了20分鐘，這是該組織歷史上最快的一次，表明各成員國高度一致，堅信一旦新冠肺炎疫情出現減弱跡象，需求將會復蘇。

　　Oil rises for a third day on expectations for fuel demand pickup

　　Oil prices rose for a third day on Thursday on expectations for a surge in fuel demand, particularly in the United States and Europe and China, later this year at the same time major producers are maintaining supply discipline, reports with reference to.

　　Brent crude futures were up 49 cents, or 0.7%, at $71.84 a barrel by 0233 GMT, the highest since September 2019. The international benchmark gained 1.6% on Wednesday.

　　U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 44 cents, or 0.6%, to $69.27 a barrel. Prices earlier rose to as much as $69.32, the most since October 2018, after gaining 1.5% in the previous session.

　　The consensus among market forecasters, including the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, is that oil demand will exceed supply in the second half of 2021, which has spurred the recent run in prices.

　　OPEC+ data shows that by the end of the year oil demand will be 99.8 million barrels per day (bpd) versus supply of 97.5 million bpd.

　　This rebalancing will be led by resurgent demand in the United States, the world's biggest oil user, from vehicle consumption this summer, along with rising fuel needs in the world's second biggest oil consumer, and in the UK as it exits its COVID-19 lockdowns.

　　"The U.S. driving season is a period that sees higher?than?normal fuel consumption. UK traffic is now sitting above pre?pandemic levels," CBA commodities analyst Vivek Dhar said in a note. "We continue to see the oil demand recovery led by the U.S., Europe."

　　OPEC+ agreed on Tuesday continue with plans to ease supply curbs through July.

　　The OPEC+ meeting last 20 minutes, the quickest in the grouping's history, suggesting strong compliance among members and the conviction that demand will recover once the COVID-19 pandemic shows sign of abating.
