據世界石油網站6月3日報道 油價突破了長達數月的交易區間，因為對美國供應收緊的預期加劇了這一全球最大石油消費國正處于強勁復蘇之中的跡象。

　　在本周早些時候短暫觸及關鍵心理關口后，西德克薩斯中質原油期貨價格突破70美元關口，收于2018年10月以來的最高點。在周三公布庫存數據之前，投資者關注美國市場的健康狀況。

　　Again Capital合伙人約翰?基爾達夫表示：“我們預計美國原油庫存將出現相當大幅度的下降，而需求理論卻在不斷改善，這種氣氛依然樂觀，因為我們正面臨供需結構上的結構性赤字?！?/p>

　　今年，原油價格從2020年的暴跌中回升的勢頭已經停滯了好幾次，但隨著全球整體需求的不斷改善，原油價格通常已經回到上升軌道。然而，疫情在亞洲和拉丁美洲部分地區的卷土重來提醒人們，反彈將是坎坷的。

　　價格：

　　紐約7月交貨的WTI上漲82美分，至70.05美元/桶；

　　紐約時間下午2點51分，布倫特8月份結算價上漲80美分，至72.29美元/桶

　　原文如下：

　　WTI crude closes above $70 for the first time since Oct. 2018

　　Oil broke through a months-long trading range as expectations of tightening supplies in the U.S. compounded signs the world’s largest oil-consuming country is in the midst of a robust recovery.

　　West Texas Intermediate futures surpassed the $70 mark to close at its highest since Oct. 2018 after briefly touching the key psychological level earlier this week. Investors focused on the health of the U.S. market ahead of inventory data on Wednesday.

　　Confidence in the outlook for oil demand continues to grow as accelerating vaccinations allow people to travel more. The Middle Eastern Dubai benchmark is trading in its steepest backwardation -- a market structure that indicates supply tightness -- in almost a year after the region’s physical market had a strong start to the month.

　　“We’re looking for a pretty sizable drawdown in U.S. crude oil inventories, while the demand thesis keeps improving,” said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC. “This atmosphere remains bullish, as we’re heading into a structural deficit in terms of supply versus demand.”

　　Crude’s advance from 2020’s collapse has stalled a handful of times this year, but prices have usually returned to an upward track as overall global demand keeps improving. The Covid-19 comeback in part of Asia and Latin America, however, is a reminder that the rebound will be bumpy.

　　Prices:

　　WTI for July delivery gained 82 cents to $70.05 a barrel in New York

　　Brent for August settlement rose 80 cents to $72.29 a barrel at 2:51 p.m. in New Yor
