据离岸工程网站6月1日消息 因对全球最大石油消费国美国夏季驾车季的燃料需求前景的乐观情绪升温，油价周二上涨，布伦特原油价格突破70美元，创下3月份以来的最高点。
截至格林尼治时间6:10，8月布伦特原油期货价格上涨94美分，至每桶70.26美元，涨幅1.4%。美国西德克萨斯中质原油7月期货价格为每桶67.66美元，较上周五上涨1.34美元，涨幅2%，周一因美国公众假期而无结算价。
布伦特原油稍早触及70.34美元的日内高点，为3月8日以来的盘中最高价格。
ING Economics分析师周二在一份报告中表示：“尽管亚洲部分地区对与疫情相关的限制措施收紧表示担忧，但市场似乎更关注美国和欧洲部分地区的积极需求。”
“在美国，阵亡将士纪念日周末之后，夏季驾驶季节正式开始，我们已经进入这一时期，汽油库存已经呈下降趋势，距离每年这个时候的5年低点不远。”
追踪公司GasBuddy表示，周日美国汽油需求较前四个周日平均水平跃升9.6%，为2019年夏季以来的最高周日需求。
不过，由于预计将有更多产出流入市场，价格涨幅受到限制。
欧佩克消息人士称，欧佩克+可能在周二的一次会议上同意继续缓慢放宽供应限制，因为石油生产商在预期的需求复苏和产量可能增加之间取得平衡。
今年4月，欧佩克+决定从5月至7月向市场归还210万桶/天的供应，因为它预计，尽管全球第三大石油消费国印度的冠状病毒病例激增，但全球需求仍将上升。
ING Economics分析师补充称：“我们相信，市场将能够消化这一新增供应，因此预计该集团将确认在未来2个月内按计划增加产量。”

Brent Reaches $70, Highest Since March
Oil prices rose on Tuesday, with Brent topping $70 and trading at its highest since March, as optimism grew over the fuel demand outlook during the summer driving season of the United States, the world's top oil consumer.
Brent crude futures for August gained 94 cents, or 1.4%, to $70.26 a barrel by 0610 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for July was at $67.66 a barrel, up $1.34, or 2% from Friday's close, with no settlement price for Monday due to a U.S. public holiday.
Brent earlier hit a session peak of $70.34, the highest intraday price since March 8.
"While there are concerns over tighter COVID-19 related restrictions across parts of Asia, the market appears to be more focused on the positive demand story from the U.S. and parts of Europe," analysts from ING Economics said in a note on Tuesday.
"In the U.S., the summer driving season officially got underway following the Memorial Day weekend, and we have entered this period with gasoline inventories already trending lower, and not too far from a 5-year low for this time of the year."
Tracking firm GasBuddy said Sunday's U.S. gasoline demand jumped 9.6% above the average of the previous four Sundays, the highest Sunday demand since the summer of 2019.
The price gains were capped, though, as more output is expected to hit the market.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies - known as OPEC+ - are likely to agree to continue to slowly ease supply curbs at a meeting on Tuesday, OPEC sources said, as producers balance an expected recovery in demand against a possible increase in output.
OPEC+ decided in April to return 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) of supply to the market from May to July, as it anticipated global demand would rise despite surging coronavirus cases in India, the world's third-largest oil consumer.
"We believe that the market will be able to absorb this additional supply, and so would expect the group to confirm that they will increase output as planned over the next 2 months," ING Economics analysts added.
