據能源世界網6月7日新加坡報道，受更光明的經濟和燃料需求前景支撐，油價周一延續漲勢，創下多年來新高。

　　截至格林尼治時間1：07分，布倫特8月原油期貨價格上漲28美分，漲幅0.4%，至每桶72.17美元，創下2019年5月以來的最高水平。美國西德克薩斯中質原油7月價格自2018年10月以來首次觸及70美元，每桶69.91美元，上漲29美分，漲幅0.4%。

　　由于美國和歐洲政府在夏季旅游前放松了對新冠疫情的限制，美國和歐洲的燃料需求出現反彈，這兩種原油的合約價在過去兩周都出現了上漲。

　　據分析師稱，盡管歐佩克+產油國減少供應的趨勢逐漸緩和，但預計下半年全球石油需求將超過供應。

　　在美國，由于鉆探業務增長放緩，油氣鉆機數量六周以來首次下降。

　　Oil hits new multi-year highs

　　Oil extended gains to hit fresh multi-year highs on Monday, underpinned by a brighter economic and fuel-demand outlook.

　　Brent crude futures for August rose 28 cents, or 0.4%, to $72.17 a barrel by 0107 GMT, their highest since May 2019. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for July touched $70 for the first time since October 2018 and was at $69.91 a barrel, up 29 cents, or 0.4%.

　　Both contracts have risen for the past two weeks as fuel demand is rebounding in the United States and Europe after governments loosened COVID-19 restrictions ahead of summer travel.

　　Global oil demand is expected to exceed supplies in the second half despite a gradual easing of supply cuts by OPEC+ producers, analysts say.

　　In the United States, the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating fell for the first time in six weeks as growth in drilling slowed.
