-- 周一早盘,伊朗再次关闭霍尔木兹海峡,油价应声飙升。此前,美国拒绝解除对伊朗港口的封锁,并开火击沉并扣押了一艘伊朗货船,这令外界对两国重启和平谈判的预期降低。 5月交割的西德克萨斯中质原油期货价格上涨4.63美元,至每桶88.48美元;6月交割的布伦特原油期货价格上涨4.34美元,至每桶94.72美元。 上周五,伊朗短暂重新开放霍尔木兹海峡,导致油价暴跌。霍尔木兹海峡是波斯湾国家供应的全球20%石油需求的咽喉要道。然而,由于美国拒绝解除对伊朗港口的封锁,伊朗随后再次拒绝允许船只通过该水道。 美国正派遣谈判代表前往巴基斯坦进行和平谈判,但据《卫报》报道,在周末美国在波斯湾击沉并扣押一艘伊朗货船后,伊朗没有参加谈判的计划。两国之间的停火协议将于明日到期,美国总统特朗普再次威胁称,除非达成协议,否则将攻击伊朗的民用基础设施。 “交易员们周末开始时以为伊朗已经重新开放了霍尔木兹海峡,但几个小时后,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队声称美国封锁与伊朗有关的船只违反了将于周二到期的停火协议,海峡随即再次被有效关闭。美国海军向一艘伊朗船只开火并将其扣押后,油价进一步上涨,这进一步削弱了人们对近期外交进展的信心。”盛宝银行写道。 霍尔木兹海峡的关闭造成了有史以来最大的能源供应冲击,推高了原油现货价格以及汽油和柴油价格,并导致航空燃料大范围短缺。 SEB Research 大宗商品首席分析师 Bjarne Schieldrop 写道:“目前金融市场正忙于谈判、改善和解决问题,而与此同时,现货市场却在日益恶化。由于运输中断、航程延长以及运费和保险成本高企,现货石油流动仍然受到限制。”
