据《能源年》网5月20日伦敦报道，周四上午，亚洲油价上涨，但仍处于三周以来的低点，尽管美国增加了燃料供应。不过，投资者仍对亚洲部分地区新冠肺炎病例激增感到担忧。

　　截至美国东部时间13:09(格林威治标准时间上午5:09)，布伦特原油期货上涨0.30%至66.86美元，西德克萨斯中质油期货上涨0.40%至63.61美元。

　　据美国能源情报署(EIA)周三发布的美国原油供应数据显示，截至5月14日的当周，美国原油供应增加了132.1万桶。Investing.com的预测增加162.3万桶，而前一周的报告则是减少42.7万桶。

　　根据美国石油学会(American Petroleum Institute)前一天发布的原油供应数据显示，增加了62万桶，好于预期。

　　在需求方面，尽管由于美国和欧洲部分地区经济从新冠疫情中持续复苏，今年石油价格上涨了30%左右，但亚洲部分地区新冠疫情病例的重新出现仍然给市场蒙上阴影。根据约翰·霍普金斯大学(Johns Hopkins University)的数据显示，截至5月20日，印度的新冠病例超过2,500万例。

　　ING Economics在一份报告中表示，亚洲部分地区新冠肺炎病例的再次出现，短期内对市场的支撑作用不大。

　　Build in US crude supplies clouds outlook for oil

　　Oil was up Thursday morning in Asia but remained a three-week low even if the US increased its fuel supplies. However, investors remain concerned about the spike of Covid-19 cases in parts of Asia.

　　Brent oil futures were up 0.30% to $66.86 by 13:09 AM ET (5:09 AM GMT) and WTI futures gained 0.40% to $63.61.

　　US crude oil supply data from the US Energy Information Administration, released on Wednesday, showed a build of 1.321 million barrels for the week ending May 14. Forecasts prepared by Investing.com had predicted a 1.623-million-barrel build, while a 427,000-barrel draw was reported during the previous week.

　　Crude oil supply data from the American Petroleum Institute released the day before showed a better-than-expected build of 620,000 barrels.

　　On the demand front, although oil is up about 30% this year due to the continuous economic recovery from Covid-19 in the US and parts of Europe, a resurgence of Covid-19 cases in parts of Asia remains to overshadow the market. In India, the number of Covid-19 cases topped 25 million as of May 20, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

　　“A resurgence in Covid-19 cases across parts of Asia is doing little to support the market in the near term,” ING Economics said in a note.
