据6月8日彭博社报道，随着美国夏季驾驶季需求升温，以及疫情形势好转，石油价格超过3个月前的最高收盘价，继续扩大涨幅。
西得克萨斯中质原油期货价格周二收涨0.8%，突破每桶120美元。由于包括高盛集团和摩根士丹利在内的银行强调未来几个月油价将上涨，该期货本周在三个月高点附近波动。
据知情人士透露，美国石油学会API周二报告称，上周美国汽油库存增加了182万桶。由于库存处于多年来的最低季节性水平，这不太可能给紧张的燃料市场带来太多缓解。
随着经济从疫情中反弹，石油市场今年保持了上涨势头。随着疫情形势好转，上周，欧佩克+增产幅度超过了此前计划，不过该组织近几个月来一直在努力实现其目标。
荷兰银行高级能源经济学家Hans Van Cleef表示，“人们的关注点从欧佩克提高产量转向了闲置产能下降，我发现短期内很难看到价格下降的理由”。
价格方面
伦敦时间上午10点35分，WTI 7月期货上涨1%，至每桶120.60美元。
布伦特原油8月结算价上涨0.8%，至每桶121.56美元。
API表示，上周美国原油库存增加了约185万桶，而馏分油（包括柴油）库存增加了约338万桶。

Oil gains near US$120 with traders awaiting summer demand uptick
Oil extended gains from the highest close in three months as the US summer driving season ramps up and the world emerges from virus lockdowns.
West Texas Intermediate futures rose above US$120 a barrel after settling 0.8 per cent higher on Tuesday. Futures have fluctuated near a three-month high so far this week as banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley underlined calls for higher prices in the coming months.
On Tuesday, the American Petroleum Institute reported that US gasoline stockpiles rose by 1.82 million barrels last week, according to people familiar with the data. That’s unlikely to provide much relief to a tight fuel market, with inventories at the lowest seasonal level in years.
The oil market has maintained its upward momentum this year as economies rebounded from the pandemic, a virus resurgence in China has led to extreme volatility at times. It continues to roll back its COVID-19 curbs as infection rates ease. Last week, OPEC+ lifted output by more than it had previously planned, though the group has struggled to meet its targets in recent months.
“There is a shift in focus from higher production by OPEC+ towards the declining spare capacity,” said Hans Van Cleef, a senior energy economist at ABN Amro Bank NV. “I find it difficult to see arguments for lower prices in the near term.”
Prices
WTI for July delivery rose 1 per cent to US$120.60 a barrel at 10:35 a.m. in London.
Brent for August settlement gained 0.8 per cent to US$121.56 a barrel.
US crude stockpiles rose by about 1.85 million barrels last week, while inventories of distillates -- a category that includes diesel -- increased by about 3.38 million barrels, the API said. Official government data are due later Wednesday.
