据6月9日Oil Now报道，油价周三继续上涨，原因是西方经济体的燃料需求强劲。

　　格林尼治时间9点11分，布伦特原油期货上涨32美分，涨幅0.3%，至每桶72.42美元，此前曾触及每桶72.83美元，为2019年5月20日以来的最高水平。布伦特原油价格周二上涨1%。

　　美国西德克萨斯中质原油期货价格上涨18美分，涨幅0.3%，至每桶70.23美元，此前一度升至每桶70.62美元，为2018年10月17日以来的最高水平。西德克萨斯中质原油价格周二上涨1.2%。

　　PVM分析师表示："市场普遍认为，今年下半年石油需求增长趋势将大幅上升，这为油价上涨铺平了道路。"

　　澳新银行(ANZ Research)分析师在一份报告中指出，最近的交通数据显示，随着出行限制放松，游客纷纷上路。 TomTom的数据显示，欧洲15个城市的交通拥堵程度达到了新冠疫情爆发以来的最高水平。

　　美国能源信息署(EIA)周二预测，美国今年的燃料消费量将增长149万桶/天，高于此前预测的139万桶/天。要知道，美国是全球最大的石油消费国。

　　另一个利好迹象是，行业数据显示上周美国原油库存下降。EIA将于周三14：30公布库存数据。

　　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.
