冠狀病毒Delta變種的迅速傳播使美國(guó)的病例和住院人數(shù)達(dá)到六個(gè)月來(lái)的最高水平。
盡管如此,美國(guó)能源信息署(EIA)在月度預(yù)測(cè)中表示,到目前為止,美國(guó)就業(yè)增長(zhǎng)和流動(dòng)性的增加已經(jīng)推動(dòng)了2021年的汽油消費(fèi)。
預(yù)計(jì)2021年美國(guó)汽油消費(fèi)量平均為880萬(wàn)桶/天,高于2020年的800萬(wàn)桶/天。盡管如此,EIA表示,由于在家工作的人越來(lái)越多,美國(guó)的汽油消費(fèi)量在2022年之前仍將低于2019年的水平。
路透初步調(diào)查顯示,美國(guó)原油、汽油和其他成品油庫(kù)存上周可能有所下降,預(yù)計(jì)汽油庫(kù)存將連續(xù)第四周下降。
據(jù)兩位市場(chǎng)消息人士援引美國(guó)石油協(xié)會(huì)的數(shù)據(jù)稱(chēng),截至8月6日的一周,原油庫(kù)存減少了81.6萬(wàn)桶。

Oil Up More Than 2%, Boosted by Forecast for U.S. Fuel Demand
Oil prices rose more than 2% on Tuesday, rebounding from recent losses on signs of rising fuel demand in the United States despite a surge in COVID-19 cases.
Brent crude rose $1.59, or 2.3%, to settle at $70.63 a barrel and U.S. oil climbed $1.81, or 2.7%, to end the session at $68.29 a barrel.
Both contracts dropped around 2.5% on Monday, and last week notched their biggest losses in months as infections surged in major global oil consumers.
"Predicting short-term price swings has become extremely difficult given the arduous process of predicting the impact of the Delta variant on forward global oil demand, particularly in countries ," said Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch and Associates LLC in Galena, Illinois.
The rapid spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus has pushed cases and hospitalizations in the United States to a six-month high.
Still, U.S. job growth and increasing mobility have boosted gasoline consumption so far in 2021, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in a monthly forecast.
U.S. gasoline consumption is expected to average 8.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2021, up from 8 million bpd in 2020. Still, the EIA said U.S. gasoline consumption will remain below 2019 levels through 2022 due to the proliferation of people working from home.
U.S. crude, gasoline, and other product inventories are likely to have dropped last week, with gasoline stocks forecast to fall for a fourth consecutive week, a preliminary Reuters poll showed.
Crude stocks fell by 816,000 barrels for the week ended Aug. 6, according to two market sources, citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday.
Government data on inventories are due at 10:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed a $1 trillion infrastructure package that could serve as the nation's biggest investment in decades in roads, bridges, airports and waterways. If enacted, the bill would boost the economy and demand for oil products, analysts said.
Successful vaccination programmes in the West and encouraging economic data come in sharp contrast to rising infections in the East.
