據能源世界網4月12日東京報道，周一油價上漲，由于人們希望，隨著夏季駕駛季節的臨近，以及新冠病毒疫苗的推出速度加快，美國的燃料需求正在上升，盡管其他國家不斷增加的病例數將限制增長。
截至格林尼治標準時間01：55，布倫特原油價格上漲25美分，漲幅0.4%，至每桶63.20美元。美國原油價格上漲17美分，漲幅0.3%，至每桶59.49美元。
自上周一收盤時的一段波動期以來，價格幾乎沒有變化。
Axi首席市場策略師斯蒂芬·因尼斯（Stephen Innes）表示，最近，一種令人不安的平靜籠罩著石油市場，布倫特原油價格仍穩定在63美元左右，交易員采取觀望區間交易的心態。
雖然美國已經為7000多萬人接種了疫苗，在歐洲，隨著封鎖生效，新的感染人數正在下降，但印度報告了創紀錄的新病例，亞洲其他地區的病例數量也在上升。
Innes表示，這可能會繼續“影響全球旅游前景”，并使價格在夏季來臨之際保持在區間內。
美聯儲主席杰羅姆·鮑威爾(Jerome Powell)在周日播出的一次采訪中表示，美國經濟正處于“拐點”，預計未來幾個月增長和就業將加速，但面臨重新開放過快和引發冠狀病毒病例復蘇的風險。

Oil prices climb on favourable outlook for U.S. fuel demand
Oil rose on Monday amid hopes that fuel demand is picking up in the United States as the summer driving season approaches and the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations there accelerates, though increasing case numbers in other countries are set to cap gains.
Brent was up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent, at $63.20 a barrel by 0155 GMT. U.S. crude gained 17 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to $59.49 a barrel.
Prices have changed little since a period of volatile trading ended with the close of trading last Monday.
"An unsettling calm has enveloped oil markets recently as Brent remains anchored around $63 and traders adopt a wait=and-see range-trade mentality," said Stephen Innes, chief market strategist at Axi.
While the United States has fully vaccinated more than 70 million people, and in Europe new infection numbers are falling as lockdowns take effect, India is reporting record new cases and other parts of Asia are seeing caseloads rise.
That is likely to continue to "sully the global travel outlook" and keep prices rangebound as the summer approaches, Innes said.
The U.S. economy is at an "inflection point" amid expectations that growth and hiring will accelerate in the months ahead, but faces the risk of reopening too quickly and sparking a resurgence in coronavirus cases, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said in an interview broadcast on Sunday.
