布倫特原油在陣亡將士紀(jì)念日達(dá)到每桶120美元

盡管歐盟未能在其成員國之間就原油禁令達(dá)成任何協(xié)議，但原油價(jià)格繼續(xù)攀升

據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)5月30日消息，布倫特原油在陣亡將士紀(jì)念日達(dá)到每桶120美元，這是美國夏季駕駛季節(jié)的正式開始。

當(dāng)天美國東部時(shí)間上午10:41，布倫特原油7月合約交易價(jià)格為120.02美元（+0.52% ）。

這是布倫特原油數(shù)月來的最高水平，自2020年3月起每桶上漲近100美元。

周一，WTI的價(jià)格也上漲，達(dá)到每桶115.80美元（+0.80%），這也是自3月份以來的最高價(jià)格。

盡管歐盟未能在其成員國之間就原油禁令達(dá)成任何協(xié)議，但原油價(jià)格仍在繼續(xù)攀升，匈牙利仍在堅(jiān)持爭(zhēng)取更好的條件。盡管歐盟堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為仍有可能達(dá)成協(xié)議，但上周末沒有進(jìn)展是值得注意的。

在看漲方面，周一美國的駕駛季節(jié)正式開始。雖然全國汽油平均價(jià)格在5月30日達(dá)到每加侖4.619美元——有記錄以來的最高水平，但該燃料的需求似乎確實(shí)受到了一些破壞，GasBuddy的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，與前一周相比，汽油需求僅比過去四個(gè)星期的平均水平高出1.2%——對(duì)于陣亡將士紀(jì)念日當(dāng)周周末而言漲幅不大。

其他看漲石油的因素是放寬疫情限制和英國最近的石油和天然氣暴利稅，一些分析師和石油公司認(rèn)為這將扼殺該行業(yè)的新投資。周五，英國石油公司表示將根據(jù)新稅收審查其在該國的項(xiàng)目。不管這種稅收的長期影響如何，它都會(huì)給市場(chǎng)帶來不確定性。

Brent Crude Hits $120 As Driving Season Officially Kicks Off In U.S.

Brent crude hit $120 per barrel on Memorial day.

Crude prices continue to climb despite the EU’s failure to reach any agreement among its members on crude oil ban.

Brent crude oil reached $120 per barrel on Memorial Day—the official kickoff of the summer driving season in the United States.

The Brent Crude July contract was trading at $120.02 (+0.52%) on the day at 10:41 a.m. ET.

It is the highest level for Brent Crude in months, and a nearly $100 per barrel increase from March 2020.

The price of WTI was also rising on Monday, reaching $115.80 (+0.80%) per barrel—also the highest price since March.

Crude prices are continuing to climb despite the EU’s failure to reach any agreement among its members on a crude oil ban, with Hungary still holding out for better terms. While the EU is insistent that it is still likely to reach a deal, the lack of progress made over the weekend was notable.

On the bullish side, Monday kicked off the official start of the driving season in the United States. While the average national gasoline price reached $4.619 per gallon on May 30—the highest level ever recorded, there does appear to be some demand destruction for the fuel, with GasBuddy data showing that weekly U.S. gasoline demand rose by just .5 percent compared to the previous week and only 1.2 percent above the average of the last four weeks—not impressive for Memorial Day weekend.

Other bullish factors for oil are relaxed Covid-19 restrictions and the UK’s recent oil and gas windfall tax, which some analysts and oil companies suggest will stifle new investments in the industry. On Friday, BP said it would review its projects in the country in light of the new tax. Regardless of the long-term effects of such a tax, it creates uncertainty in the market.
