據油價網5月7日消息：英國燃料銷量在上周末結束時飆升至自去年3月首次封鎖以來的最高水平，這表明上個月開始的重新開放已經導致了更高的石油需求和經濟增長。

　　4月12日，英國開始逐步恢復營業，幾個月來首次開設非必要的零售商、餐館和酒吧，因為在超過一半的成年人接種了至少一針疫苗后，新冠肺炎病例迅速下降。對不同家庭成員室外和室內聚會的限制也將從5月中旬開始放寬，而政府正考慮最早在本月允許少數國家出國度假。

　　英格蘭銀行周四表示，在對國內經濟活動沒有多數限制的情況下，預計英國經濟將在今年剩余時間強勁復蘇至新冠肺炎前的水平。

　　該行還表示：“健康風險下降和不確定性下降，以及已宣布的財政和貨幣刺激措施，進一步提振了需求增長。”

　　英國石油需求增加和經濟反彈的跡象給石油多頭帶來了希望，盡管印度和巴西發生了疫情反復，但包括美國在內的主要發達經濟體將推動全球經濟和石油需求增長。

　　Fuel Sales In The UK Surge, Adding Bullish Note To Global Oil Outlook

　　Fuel sales in the United Kingdom surged at the end of last week to their highest level since the first lockdown in March last year, according to government data cited by Bloomberg, suggesting that the reopening that began last month is already resulting in higher oil demand and economic growth.

　　The UK started to gradually reopen on April 12, opening non-essential retailers, restaurants, and pubs for the first time in months as COVID cases are rapidly falling after more than half of the adult population have now received at least one shot of a vaccine. Restrictions on outdoor and indoor gatherings of people from different households will also be eased from mid-May, while the government is considering allowing vacations abroad to a restricted number of countries as early as this month.

　　The UK’s reopening and the surge in fuel sales “is a tangible proof that vaccine programs are the way out of the crisis,” Tamas Varga, an analyst at PVM Oil Associates, told Bloomberg.

　　The UK’s economy is expected to recover strongly to pre-COVID levels over the remainder of this year in the absence of most restrictions on domestic economic activity, the Bank of England said on Thursday.

　　“People may also become more confident about spending. During lockdown some people have saved money as they been unable to spend as normal. Some of that money might be spent as restrictions are eased,” the central bank said.

　　“Demand growth is further boosted by a decline in health risks and a fall in uncertainty, as well as announced fiscal and monetary stimulus,” according to the bank.

　　The signs of increasing oil demand and rebounding economy in the UK gives hopes to oil bulls that despite the COVID crisis in India and Brazil, major developed economies, including the United States, will push the global economy and oil demand higher.
