据12月11日oil monster消息：油价周四上涨近3%，布伦特原油价格自3月初以来首次突破每桶50美元，这是受各国开始推出COVID-19疫苗导致需求加速复苏的希望推动。
看涨情绪抵消了美国原油库存大幅增加的影响，后者显示原油供应仍然充足。
布伦特原油价格上涨1.39美元，收于每桶50.25美元，涨幅2.8%，连续第三天上涨。美国西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)上涨1.26美元，至每桶46.78美元，涨幅2.8%。
这两项基准股指均触及3月以来的最高水平，合约价格分别创下每桶51.06美元和47.74美元的盘中高点。不过，两国的相对强弱指数均显示已进入超买区间。
投资者对周三关于美国石油库存的每周报告不以为然，该报告显示原油库存大幅增加1520万桶。而分析师此前预计将下降140万桶。
Rystad Energy石油市场负责人Bjornar Tonhaugen表示：“市场并非每天都忽视美国原油库存的每周增长。快速追踪疫苗接种提高了石油需求将更快受益的希望，而北美市场是主要消费者。”
今年4月，大流行重创了石油需求，油价从历史低点反弹，这得益于欧佩克及其盟友达成的创纪录的减产协议。
欧佩克将在明年1月进一步放宽供应限制，每天再增加50万桶石油供应，为市场提供额外的支持。

Brent Rises Above $50/bbl for First Time Since March Oil prices climbed nearly 3% The bullish sentiment offset a large increase in U.S. crude inventories that showed there was still ample supply available.
Britain began vaccinations this week and the United States could start inoculations as soon as this weekend. Canada Brent crude rose $1.39, or 2.8%, to settle at $50.25 a barrel, gaining for a third day. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose $1.26, or 2.8%, to settle at $46.78 a barrel.
Both benchmarks reached their highest levels since March, with the contracts posting session highs of $51.06 a barrel and $47.74 a barrel, respectively. However, their relative strength indexes showed both had moved into overbought territory.
Investors shrugged off Wednesday’s weekly report “It is not every day that the market ignores weekly builds of U.S. crude inventories,” said Bjornar Tonhaugen, Rystad Energy’s head of oil markets. “Fast-tracking vaccinations is raising hopes that oil demand will benefit quicker and the North American markets are major consumers.”
Concern over an attack Oil has recovered from historic lows reached in April when the pandemic hammered demand, helped by a record supply-cut deal by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as OPEC+.
OPEC+ will further ease its supply restrictions in January by adding an extra 500,000 barrels per day although the easing is more gradual than previously agreed, to provide additional support to the market.
