New York-July crude futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange settled 1.13/barrel higher at 66.21/b June 4 led by several rounds of fund buying, while a tropical cyclone moved toward Oman.The cyclone provided "most of the headline space," energy consultant Jim Ritterbusch said in a report. But while the cyclone may threaten shipping and off-loading facilities in the Persian Gulf region, "we viewed today's price strength as an overreaction because impact on Saudi Arabian oil facilities is not expected," he said.A bullish technical picture at the start of this week's trading and a reduction in long positions by speculators last week, shown in the most recent data from the US Commodity Futures Commission, left the market vulnerable to further gains.

机译：6月4日，在几轮基金买盘的带动下，纽约商品交易所（New York Mercantile Exchange）的纽约七月原油期货收高1.13 /桶，至每桶66.21 / b，同时热带气旋向阿曼移动。旋风提供了“大部分标题空间”。能源顾问吉姆·里特布施在报告中说。但是，尽管旋风可能威胁到波斯湾地区的运输和卸货设施，但他说：“我们认为今天的价格上涨反应过度，因为预计不会对沙特阿拉伯石油设施造成影响。”美国商品期货委员会最新数据显示，本周的交易以及投机者上周减少了多头头寸，使市场容易受到进一步上涨的影响。
