欧盟新基金协议获通过 助推油价上涨

据路透社7月21日报道，油价周二上涨，受疫苗试验的乐观消息以及欧盟刺激协议的推动，油价达到了3月初俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯之间爆发石油价格战时的水平。

截至格林尼治标准时间09：04，基准布伦特原油价格上涨1.17美元，至每桶44.45美元，有望创下6月中旬以来最大单日涨幅，约为2.7%。西德克萨斯中质原油价格上涨19美分，至每桶41.00美元，涨幅约为2.6%，为一个月来最高单日涨幅。

欧盟领导人就一项7500亿欧元(8590亿美元)的基金达成协议，该协议提振了燃料需求前景，提振了油价。在其它市场，全球股市和欧元周二也触及3月份以来的最高水平。

该协议允许欧盟委员会(European Commission)代表所有27个国家在资本市场筹集数十亿欧元资金，这是近70年来欧洲一体化进程中前所未有的团结行动。

周一公布的疫苗数据也为油价提供了支撑，这些数据增强了人们对研制出疫苗的信心，尽管这些疫苗在全球推广需要时间。

Oil prices up at levels last seen in March on vaccine hopes, EU deal

Oil prices rose on Tuesday, helped by positive news about vaccine trials and a European Union stimulus deal reaching levels last seen when an oil price war erupted in early March between Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Benchmark Brent crude was up $1.17 cents at $44.45 by 0904 GMT, on track for its biggest daily rise since mid-June at around 2.7%. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained 19 cents to $41.00, its highest daily rise in a month at around 2.6%.

The prices were buoyed by an agreement among European Union leaders on a 750 billion euro ($859 billion) fund to prop up their coronavirus-throttled economies, lifting prospects for fuel demand.

In other markets, world shares and the euro also hit their strongest levels since March on Tuesday.

The deal allows the European Commission to raise billions of euros on capital markets on behalf of all 27 states, an unprecedented act of solidarity in almost seven decades of European integration.

Oil prices were also supported by promising virus vaccine data released on Monday, raising confidence that a vaccine may be created even if a global rollout will take time.
