据离岸工程网站4月23日消息 因美国和欧洲的燃料需求有望复苏，经济增长提速和经济放缓，油价周五上涨，但对印度第二波严重的病例的担忧抑制了涨幅。
布伦特原油期货价格上涨21美分（0.3%），格林尼治时间01:37，收于65.61美元/桶，周四上涨8美分。
美国西德克萨斯中质原油期货价格上涨29美分（0.5%），至61.72美元/桶。
澳新银行分析师在一份报告中表示：“市场对上周（美国石油）库存增加不屑一顾，反而对汽油需求的持续改善感到欣慰。”
美国炼油商瓦莱罗表示，汽油和柴油需求已恢复到冠状病毒大流行前的93%和100%，首席商务官Gary Simmons表示，公司非常看好汽油的前景。
欧洲经济状况的改善也提振了市场情绪。法国表示，周一学校将重新开放，自4月初开始实施的限制人们在离家10公里（6英里）以内的国内旅行限制将于5月3日结束。
Axi首席市场策略师Stephen Innes表示：“随着来自印度和日本的COVID头条震荡逐渐退居二线，到目前为止还没有相关的突变风险波及美国和欧洲，逢低买入仍是当前的趋势。”
尽管如此，由于担心全球第三大石油进口国印度的燃料需求下滑，这两个基准原油合约的周跌幅均接近2%。本周，印度每日因COVID-19感染和死亡人数创下新纪录。
包括澳大利亚、英国、加拿大和阿拉伯联合酋长国在内的一些国家已经禁止或减少了来自印度的航班。

Oil Edges Higher on US, Europe Demand Hopes
Oil prices rose on Friday on hopes of a fuel demand recovery in the United States and Europe as economic growth picks up and lockdowns ease, but worries about India's raging second wave of COVID-19 cases kept a lid on gains.
Brent crude futures rose 21 cents, or 0.3%, to $65.61 a barrel at 0137 GMT, after climbing 8 cents on Thursday.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures jumped 29 cents, or 0.5%, to $61.72 a barrel, also after an 8 cent gain on Thursday.
"The market shrugged off last week's (U.S. oil) inventory build, instead comforted by the continued improvement in gasoline demand," ANZ analysts said in a note.
U.S. refiner Valero said gasoline and diesel demand were back to 93% and 100% of the levels they were at before the pandemic, with chief commercial officer Gary Simmons saying the company is "pretty bullish on gasoline going forward".
Improving conditions in Europe also buoyed sentiment. France said schools would reopen on Monday and domestic travel curbs in place since early April restricting people to within 10 km (6 miles) of their homes would end on May 3.
"With the COVID headline shockers from India and Japan fading to the back burner and so far no related risk of mutations spilling back into the U.S. and Europe, (the) buy-in dip has remained the order of the day," said Axi's chief market strategist Stephen Innes.
Nevertheless, both benchmark crude contracts are headed for a weekly loss of nearly 2% on concerns about sliding fuel demand in India, the world's third largest oil importer, where daily infections and deaths from COVID-19 hit new records this week.
Several countries, including Australia, Britain, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates, have barred or cut flights from India.
