据6月7日CNN纽约消息：上周日，美国油价近三年来首次触及每桶70美元。
尽管此后油价较这一里程碑有所回落，西德克萨斯中质原油最新交易价为每桶69.30美元，但这仍突显出，在2020年4月原油价格空前跌至零以下后，能源价格出现了大幅反弹。
每桶70美元的价格比历史低点高出110美元，令人震惊。美国基准石油合约上次突破70美元是在2018年10月。
随着疫情逐渐平息，汽油和航空燃料需求的复苏推动了经济复苏。欧佩克和俄罗斯也继续限制石油供应，尽管他们计划在未来几个月增加产量。
Oanda亚太区高级市场分析师杰弗里·哈雷在一份报告中表示：“印度新冠肺炎病例数的改善以及美国和欧洲在夏季到来之前的持续复苏都在支撑油价。欧佩克+愿意暂时推迟修改产量目标。”
与此同时，美国人继续为加油站支付更多费用。周日普通汽油的平均价格为每加仑3.05美元，高于一年前的2.02美元。
最近几个月，布伦特原油期货也大幅上涨。全球基准价格最近达到71.49美元，目前处于2019年5月以来的最高水平。

US oil hits $70 for the first time in nearly three years
US oil prices hit $70 a barrel on Sunday for the first time in nearly three years.
While prices have since backed off a little from that milestone — West Texas Intermediate was last trading at $69.30 per barrel — it still underscores the dramatic rebound in energy prices after crude took an unprecedented dive below zero in April 2020.
The $70 mark is a staggering $110 a barrel above that record low. The last time the US benchmark oil contract traded above $70 was October 2018.
The comeback has been driven by the recovery in demand for gasoline and jet fuel as the pandemic winds down and the economy races back to life. OPEC and Russia continue to restrain supply as well, though they plan to pump more in the coming months.
"An improvement in India Covid-19 case numbers and the ongoing recovery in the US and Europe ahead of their summer is supporting prices," wrote Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst for Asia Pacific at Oanda, in a Monday note. "OPEC+ is content to postpone tinkering with their production targets for now."
Meanwhile, Americans continue to pay more at the pump. The average gallon of regular gas fetched $3.05 on Sunday, up from $2.02 a year ago.
Futures for Brent crude have also risen dramatically in recent months. The global benchmark last reached $71.49, and is trading at its highest levels since May 2019.
