据6月3日MENAFN消息：油价周四连续第三天上涨，因市场预期今年晚些时候燃料需求将激增，特别是在美国、欧洲，与此同时主要产油国仍在遵守供应协议。
截至格林威治标准时间02:33，布伦特原油期货上涨49美分，涨幅0.7%，至每桶 71.84 美元，为2019年9月以来的最高水平。国际基准指数周三上涨1.6%。
美国西德克萨斯中质原油期货价格上涨44美分，涨幅0.6%，至每桶69.27美元。早些时候，油价升至69.32美元，创下2018年10月以来的最高水平，此前一个交易日上涨1.5%。
包括石油输出国组织及其盟友(欧佩克+)在内的市场预测人士一致认为，2021年下半年，石油需求将超过供应，这刺激了近期的油价上涨。
欧佩克+数据显示，到今年年底，石油需求将达到9980万桶/天，而供应量为9750万桶/天。
全球最大的石油消费国美国今夏汽车消费需求的复苏，以及全球第二大石油消费国和英国摆脱新冠肺炎封锁后燃料需求的上升，将引领这种再平衡。
“美国的驾驶季节是油耗高于正常水平的时期。英国的交通流量现在已经超过了大流行前的水平。"CBA大宗商品分析师Vivek Dhar在一份报告中说。“我们将继续看到美国、欧洲和中国引领的石油需求复苏。”
欧佩克+周二同意继续实施计划，到7月份放松供应限制。
欧佩克+会议持续了20分钟，这是该组织历史上最快的一次，表明各成员国高度一致，坚信一旦新冠肺炎疫情出现减弱迹象，需求将会复苏。

Oil rises for a third day on expectations for fuel demand pickup
Oil prices rose for a third day on Thursday on expectations for a surge in fuel demand, particularly in the United States and Europe and China, later this year at the same time major producers are maintaining supply discipline, reports with reference to.
Brent crude futures were up 49 cents, or 0.7%, at $71.84 a barrel by 0233 GMT, the highest since September 2019. The international benchmark gained 1.6% on Wednesday.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 44 cents, or 0.6%, to $69.27 a barrel. Prices earlier rose to as much as $69.32, the most since October 2018, after gaining 1.5% in the previous session.
The consensus among market forecasters, including the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, is that oil demand will exceed supply in the second half of 2021, which has spurred the recent run in prices.
OPEC+ data shows that by the end of the year oil demand will be 99.8 million barrels per day (bpd) versus supply of 97.5 million bpd.
This rebalancing will be led by resurgent demand in the United States, the world's biggest oil user, from vehicle consumption this summer, along with rising fuel needs in the world's second biggest oil consumer, and in the UK as it exits its COVID-19 lockdowns.
"The U.S. driving season is a period that sees higher‑than‑normal fuel consumption. UK traffic is now sitting above pre‑pandemic levels," CBA commodities analyst Vivek Dhar said in a note. "We continue to see the oil demand recovery led by the U.S., Europe."
OPEC+ agreed on Tuesday continue with plans to ease supply curbs through July.
The OPEC+ meeting last 20 minutes, the quickest in the grouping's history, suggesting strong compliance among members and the conviction that demand will recover once the COVID-19 pandemic shows sign of abating.
