據6月9日Oil Now報道，油價周三繼續上漲，原因是西方經濟體的燃料需求強勁。
格林尼治時間9點11分，布倫特原油期貨上漲32美分，漲幅0.3%，至每桶72.42美元，此前曾觸及每桶72.83美元，為2019年5月20日以來的最高水平。布倫特原油價格周二上漲1%。
美國西德克薩斯中質原油期貨價格上漲18美分，漲幅0.3%，至每桶70.23美元，此前一度升至每桶70.62美元，為2018年10月17日以來的最高水平。西德克薩斯中質原油價格周二上漲1.2%。
PVM分析師表示："市場普遍認為，今年下半年石油需求增長趨勢將大幅上升，這為油價上漲鋪平了道路。"
澳新銀行(ANZ Research)分析師在一份報告中指出，最近的交通數據顯示，隨著出行限制放松，游客紛紛上路。 TomTom的數據顯示，歐洲15個城市的交通擁堵程度達到了新冠疫情爆發以來的最高水平。
美國能源信息署(EIA)周二預測，美國今年的燃料消費量將增長149萬桶/天，高于此前預測的139萬桶/天。要知道，美國是全球最大的石油消費國。
另一個利好跡象是，行業數據顯示上周美國原油庫存下降。EIA將于周三14：30公布庫存數據。

Brent oil hits two-year high
Oil prices continued to rally on Wednesday on signs of strong fuel demand in western economies.
Brent crude futures were up 32 cents, or 0.3%, at $72.42 a barrel at 0911 GMT, having earlier touched $72.83, the highest since May 20, 2019. Brent rose 1% on Tuesday.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures climbed 18 cents, or 0.3%, to $70.23 a barrel, after rising to as high as $70.62, highest since Oct. 17, 2018. WTI prices climbed 1.2% on Tuesday.
“The widespread faith that oil demand growth will trend significantly higher in the second half of the year is paving the way forward for the price rally,” PVM analysts said.
Recent traffic data suggests travellers are hitting the roads as restrictions ease, ANZ Research analysts said in a note, pointing to TomTom data which showed traffic congestion in 15 European cities had hit its highest since the coronavirus pandemic began.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecast fuel consumption growth this year in the United States, the world’s biggest oil user, would be 1.49 million barrels per day (bpd), up from a previous forecast of 1.39 million bpd.
In another bullish sign, industry data showed U.S. crude oil inventories fell last week.
Stockpile data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration is due on Wednesday at 1430 GMT.
