-- 週一,馬來西亞棕櫚油期貨價格下跌,與原油價格走勢拉開差距,出口疲軟和本幣走強令市場情緒承壓。 馬來西亞衍生性商品交易所5月原棕櫚油合約下跌0.66%,至每噸4,487馬來西亞林吉特(1,134.94美元),逆轉了前一交易日的漲幅。 6月合約午盤下跌0.96%,至每噸4521林吉特。 根據Trading Economics引述貨運調查機構的數據,馬來西亞4月1日至25日期間的棕櫚油出貨量較上月下降15.7%。 林吉特週一兌美元匯率上漲0.28%,走強可能進一步推高出口成本,對出口造成壓力。 馬來西亞棕櫚油出口量近期出現下滑,此前第一季出口量較去年同期成長29.1%。下滑原因是買家預期運輸成本將大幅上漲,因此提前採購;同時,由於出口關稅上調,競爭對手印尼的出口量下降。 印尼計劃從7月1日起將棕櫚油生物柴油的摻混比例從40%提高到50%,這可能會進一步提振馬來西亞未來的出口。 馬來西亞棕櫚油理事會表示,印尼的B50計畫每年可額外吸收300萬噸棕櫚油。隨著泰國將生質柴油摻混比例從B5提高到B7,該國的年國內消費量也可能增加35萬噸;而隨著馬來西亞政府將生質柴油摻混比例從B10提高到B15,該國的需求量也可能增加30萬噸。 生物燃料需求上升、原油價格高企以及厄爾尼諾現象可能帶來的供應風險將支撐棕櫚油價格,馬來西亞棕櫚油委員會(MPOC)預計短期內棕櫚油價格將維持在每噸4500令吉左右。 MPOC表示:“然而,由於主要進口國通膨和經濟成長放緩導致出口需求疲軟,加之棕櫚油產量逐漸進入季節性高峰,庫存增加,棕櫚油價格的進一步上漲可能受到限制。” 據馬來西亞國家通訊社(Bernama)引述Interband集團高級棕櫚油交易員Jim Teh的話稱,由於獲利回吐,本週棕櫚油價格可能在每噸4200令吉至4300令吉之間波動。

National Bank Says Crude Oil Price Shock Could Deliver Significant Fiscal Windfall For Canadian Governments
After surging nearly 50% since the onset of the United States-Iran conflict, this crude oil price shock is one of the largest on record since the inception of WTI futures trading in the mid-1980s, said National Bank of Canada.While the change is historically significant in percentage terms, the same can't necessarily be said about where the price stands outright, noted the bank.That's true for the US dollar-denominated price, at least. The price of WTI in Canadian dollar (CAD or loonie) terms is near a record high early in Q2, recently trading just below C$160/barrel -- a level reached only once before, briefly, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, stated National Bank.Canadian producers -- and governments -- could, as a consequence, be poised to capture one of the most lucrative quarters on record in terms of royalty revenues, added the bank. How long this fiscal windfall will last is uncertain, but if sustained, its impact on provincial and federal finances will be "significant" -- particularly for oil-levered provinces such as Alberta.Though the net impact of this crude shock on the Canadian economy -- and its implications for monetary policy -- has yet to be fully revealed, National Bank urges governments to capitalize on this opportunity.Most notably, this can be done by directing any additional, unbudgeted revenues to the bottom line or toward productivity-enhancing investments in the national interest. This federal government has promised to "spend less to invest more" -- a sentiment that will once again be tested in Tuesday's Spring Economic Update, according to the bank.
