据世界石油网站6月3日报道 油价突破了长达数月的交易区间，因为对美国供应收紧的预期加剧了这一全球最大石油消费国正处于强劲复苏之中的迹象。

　　在本周早些时候短暂触及关键心理关口后，西德克萨斯中质原油期货价格突破70美元关口，收于2018年10月以来的最高点。在周三公布库存数据之前，投资者关注美国市场的健康状况。

　　Again Capital合伙人约翰?基尔达夫表示：“我们预计美国原油库存将出现相当大幅度的下降，而需求理论却在不断改善，这种气氛依然乐观，因为我们正面临供需结构上的结构性赤字。”

　　今年，原油价格从2020年的暴跌中回升的势头已经停滞了好几次，但随着全球整体需求的不断改善，原油价格通常已经回到上升轨道。然而，疫情在亚洲和拉丁美洲部分地区的卷土重来提醒人们，反弹将是坎坷的。

　　价格：

　　纽约7月交货的WTI上涨82美分，至70.05美元/桶；

　　纽约时间下午2点51分，布伦特8月份结算价上涨80美分，至72.29美元/桶

　　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
