据能源世界网5月18日伦敦报道，周二油价上涨，自3月以来首次触及70美元/桶，因市场对欧洲和美国经济重新开放后需求复苏的预期抵消了人们对冠状病毒病例在亚洲蔓延的担忧。
周一，英国经济重新开放，欧洲也开始重新开放城市和海滩。美国的新病例继续下降，纽约取消了对接种疫苗者佩戴口罩的要求。
截止格林威治标准时间9：07时，布伦特原油价格上涨55美分，至每桶70.01美元，涨幅0.8%，自3月15日以来首次突破每桶70美元。美国西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)上涨37美分，至66.64美元，涨幅0.6%。
经纪商PVM的塔马斯•瓦尔加(Tamas Varga)表示，经济再次开始走高。这种乐观情绪反映在人们普遍认为，经济复苏将很快伴随着石油需求复苏。
在石油出口国组织和盟国削减供应的支持下，布伦特原油价格最新涨至每桶70美元，使其今年的涨幅达到35%。一些分析师表示，这可能导致进一步的进展。
经纪公司OANDA的分析师杰弗里·哈雷表示，如果油价突破每桶70美元，将会引发更系统的买盘，并很快将其升至每桶71.50美元。
欧洲和美国在抗击疫情方面取得的进展与亚洲的形势形成了鲜明对比，亚洲的形势限制了油价的上涨。
新加坡恢复了封锁措施，印度在采取限制措施遏制感染后，燃油需求大幅下降。
稍后将关注本周的美国供应报告，预计将显示原油库存增加170万桶。美国石油协会的报告将于格林尼治时间20：30发布。

Oil hits $70, two-month high, as Europe, U.S. reopen economies
Oil rose on Tuesday to hit $70 a barrel for the first time since March, as expectations of demand recovery following reopenings of the European and U.S. economies offset concern over spreading coronavirus cases in Asia.
The British economy reopened on Monday, and Europe is starting to reopen cities and beaches. New cases in the United States continued to fall and New York lifted the mask requirement for vaccinated people.
Brent crude was up 55 cents, or 0.8 per cent, at $70.01 by 0907 GMT, trading above $70 for the first time since March 15. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was up 37 cents, or 0.6 per cent, at $66.64.
"Economies are again switching a gear higher," said Tamas Varga of broker PVM. "The euphoria is reflected in the general belief that the economic revival will be soon coupled with oil demand recovery."
The latest gain to $70 brings Brent's rally this year to 35 per cent, supported by supply cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies. This could lead to a further advance, some analysts said.
"A rise through $70 should trigger more systematic buying and see it advance to $71.50 a barrel quite quickly," said Jeffrey Halley, analyst at brokerage OANDA.
European and U.S. progress in the battle against the pandemic contrasts with the situation in Asia, which is limiting oil's rally.
Singapore have reinstated lockdown measures, and India has seen a plunge in fuel demand following restrictions to curb infections.
In focus later will be this week's U.S. supply reports, expected to show a 1.7 million-barrel rise in crude inventories. The American Petroleum Institute's report is out at 2030 GMT.
