Oil Prices Return Above $100 a Barrel as US Diesel Hits Record High
国际油价重返100美元上方，美国柴油价格创历史新高
Global oil prices climbed back above 100 dollars a barrel this week for the first time since mid-May, and US diesel prices surged past 6 dollars a gallon for the first time on record, according to industry data. Brent crude settled above 107 dollars a barrel on September 10, up more than 6 percent, while the US benchmark WTI rose above 102 dollars. Rising energy costs have pushed gasoline prices higher at the pump and added to inflation pressures in major economies. China also raised its domestic retail prices for petrol and diesel this week. Analysts warn that a sustained rally in crude would squeeze consumers and complicate central banks’ fight against inflation.
本周国际油价自5月中旬以来首次重返每桶100美元上方，同时美国柴油价格首次突破每加仑6美元，创下历史纪录。9月10日，布伦特原油结算价上涨逾6%，报每桶107美元上方；美国基准WTI原油也升至102美元上方。能源价格上涨推高了加油站油价，并加大了主要经济体的通胀压力。中国本周也上调了国内汽柴油零售价格。分析师警告，原油持续走高将挤压消费者，并加大央行抗击通胀的难度。
