周二油价继续攀升 尽管美元走强

中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯5月16日消息，原油期货周二大幅波动，收盘上涨，摆脱美元走强和股市下跌影响。

纽约商业交易所的美国原油期货上涨35美分，至每桶71.31美元，涨幅0.49%。ICE欧洲期货交易所的布伦特原油期货上涨20美分，至每桶78.43美元，涨幅0.26%，为2014年11月以来最高水平。

由于中东地区局势动荡以及对伊朗贸易制裁的前景，油价迅速攀升，美国和布伦特原油期货本月均上涨4%左右。

Oil Prices Keep Climbing Despite Stronger Dollar

Oil prices rose in volatile trading Tuesday, shrugging off a strong dollar and weak equity markets.

U.S. crude futures recently rose 35 cents, or 0.49%, to $71.31 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent, the global benchmark, rose 20 cents, or 0.26%, to $78.43 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe -- the highest since November 2014.

Oil prices have run up rapidly amid turmoil in the Middle East and the prospect of trade sanctions against Iran -- both benchmarks are up around 4% this month.
