据道琼斯6月20日消息,英国可能在本周公投后留在欧盟的预期升温导致美元下跌和全球股市走高,从而刺激原油期货周一连续第二个交易日收涨。
纽约商品交易所美国基准原油期货结算价上涨2.9%,至49.37美元/桶。欧洲ICE期货交易所的全球基准布伦特原油期货上涨3%,至50.65美元/桶。这两种原油期货均在连续六个交易日下跌后反弹。
周末出炉的民调显示,英国在周四公投后留在欧盟的可能性上升。《每日邮报》周日刊登的Survation民调结果显示,英国留在欧盟的支持率为45%,退出欧盟的支持率为42%。
上述民调结果令华尔街日报美元指数下跌0.6%,英镑兑美元周一上涨2.5%。油市也受到全球股市对英国会留在欧盟的乐观情绪提振。

Oil Prices Rise as Global Stock Markets Surge
By Georgi Kantchev and Christian Berthelsen
Oil prices rose for a second session Monday as the dollar weakened and stocks soared on growing expectations that the U.K. is likely to remain in the European Union after this week's referendum.
The U.S. crude benchmark rose 2.9% to settle at $49.37 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while the global Brent contract gained 3% to end at $50.65 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe. Both contracts were rebounding after a six-day losing streak.
Opinion polls published over the weekend suggest the U.K. is more likely to vote to remain in the EU in Thursday's referendum. A poll by Survation published in the Mail on Sunday newspaper showed 45% supported remaining in the EU and 42% favored leaving.
That prompted the dollar to weaken 0.6% against a basket of currencies in the WSJ Dollar Index -- but particularly against the British pound, which rose 2.5% against the dollar Monday. Oil markets also got a boost from carry-over optimism in global stocks that the U.K. will remain in the European Union.
