据ICIS-MRC网站8月24日莫斯科报道，由于上周油价暴跌后投资者逢低买进，8月23日亚洲早盘原油期货价格走高，分析师指出，需求前景依然乐观，因为西方国家没有采取过于严格的限制措施，以遏制德尔塔变异的爆发。
新加坡时间上午10:58 (格林尼治标准时间02：58)，洲际交易所(ICE) 10月布伦特原油期货合约较之前收盘价上涨87美分/桶(1.33%)，至66.05美元/桶，而纽约商品交易所(NYMEX) 10月轻质低硫原油合约上涨74美分/桶(1.19%)，至62.87美元/桶。
能源咨询公司Vanda Insights的凡达娜•哈里(Vandana Hari)表示，在上周的重创之后，风险资产似乎在今天上午获得了强劲竞价，这也推动了原油价格的上涨。并补充道，鉴于德尔塔疫情使经济增长放缓，预期美联储可能愿意推迟缩减资产购买规模，金融市场情绪暂时转为乐观。
上周，两种基准原油价格均出现自去年10月以来的最大跌幅，由于全球范围内不断增长的德尔塔变异疫情以及美元走强导致全球石油需求复苏。这两项基准指数本周均下跌7.66%-8.94%。
尽管如此，在全球范围内爆发的新一波疫情中，还是出现了一些拐点。
据分析师在一份报告中表示，随着出行活动的持续改善，需求保持强劲。总体而言，这应该会使市场保持紧张。
投资者将密切关注定于8月26日开幕的杰克逊霍尔研讨会(Jackson Hole Symposium)，以了解美联储缩减大规模债券购买计划的步伐，这将影响美元的走强。欧佩克+联盟也将在9月1日召开自己的会议来审查政策，据一些市场消息人士预计，在最近新冠疫情卷土重来之后，该组织将推迟放松供应。

Crude oil futures rise in Asia align="justify"> Crude oil futures were higher in mid-morning trade in Asia Aug. 23 amid bargain hunting by investors after the rout in oil prices last week, with analysts noting the demand outlook remained optimistic as the West refrains from overly-strict restrictions to curb delta variant outbreaks.
At 10:58 am Singapore time (0258 GMT), the ICE October Brent futures contract was up 87 cents/b (1.33%) from the previous close at USD66.05/b, while the NYMEX October light sweet crude contract was 74 cents/b (1.19%) higher at USD62.87/b.
"Risk assets appear to have caught a strong bid this morning after last week's hammering and that's lifting crude, too," said Vandana Hari of Vanda Insights.
"Sentiment in the financial markets is tentatively turning upbeat align="justify"> Both oil benchmarks last week posted their steepest declines since October last year as growing clusters of delta variant outbreaks globally and a strengthening US dollar threw off a recovery in global oil demand. Both benchmarks settled lower align="justify"> "This has seen demand remain robust as mobility continues to improve. Overall, this should keep the market tight," the analysts said in a note.
Investors will be watching the Jackson Hole Symposium set to start Aug. 26 for cues on the US Federal Reserve's pace of tapering its massive bond buying program, which in turn will influence the strength of the dollar. The OPEC+ alliance is also set to hold its own meeting Sept. 1 to review policy, with some market sources expecting the group to hold off on easing supply in the wake of the recent resurgence in COVID-19.
