-- 周三午盘前后,由于市场担忧伊朗封锁将延长以迫使德黑兰达成和平协议,原油期货和政府债券收益率上涨,美国股市指数走低。 道琼斯工业平均指数下跌0.7%,至48,789.2点;标准普尔500指数下跌0.2%,至7,122.9点;纳斯达克综合指数下跌0.2%,至24,620.7点。 据《华尔街日报》报道,美国官员透露,唐纳德·特朗普总统已指示助手为延长对伊朗的封锁做好准备。该报称,在最近的几次会议上,包括周一在战情室的讨论,特朗普选择继续通过阻止进出伊朗港口的船只运输来打压伊朗的经济和石油出口。 据《华尔街日报》报道,特朗普与助手们评估后认为,他摆在面前的其他选择——恢复轰炸或退出冲突——风险都比维持对伊朗的封锁更大。 “伊朗根本就没法好好合作。他们不知道怎么签署无核协议。他们最好赶紧醒悟过来!”特朗普周三在Truth Social上发帖说道。 与此同时,由于担心特朗普的政策会延长霍尔木兹海峡的封锁,西德克萨斯中质原油期货价格上涨4.9%至每桶104.86美元,布伦特原油期货价格飙升5%至每桶116.85美元。霍尔木兹海峡是全球20%原油运输的咽喉要道。

EMEA Oil Update: Crude Rallies as US-Iran Standoff Stokes Supply Fears
EMEA crude futures rallied in after-hours trading on Wednesday as a dual blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, and President Trump's hardening Iranian rhetoric stoked fears of a prolonged global energy supply shock.Brent crude futures climbed 7.13% to $119.19 per barrel, while Murban oil futures gained 2.44% to $109.31/bbl."President Trump has instructed aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran, targeting the regime's coffers in a high-risk bid to compel Iran to end its nuclear program," Saxo Bank strategists said in a note on Wednesday.Trump reportedly said he will maintain a naval blockade against Iran until Tehran agrees to a nuclear deal, noting that the blockade is somewhat more effective than the bombing. The US President threatened Iran on Wednesday, saying the country "better get smart soon"."Iran can't get their act together. They don't know how to sign a non-nuclear deal. They'd better get smart soon!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.The second round of US-Iran talks to end the Middle East conflict has stalled in recent days as the two sides refuse to budge in negotiations and Tehran attempts to separate the Hormuz issue from its nuclear program.Soojin Kim, research analyst at MUFG, said crude prices remained elevated as markets focused on stalled US-Iran peace talks and the continued near-closure of the Hormuz.The US naval blockade appears to be putting pressure on Iran, amid reports that the country is running out of crude storage space, which could accelerate production cuts.US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Iran's Kharg Island, the country's primary oil export terminal, is approaching storage capacity, which will likely force the government to reduce crude production and cause damage to Iran's oil infrastructure."Iran is also facing growing storage constraints that could force deeper production cuts, while the US continues tightening sanctions on Chinese refiners linked to Iranian oil," Kim said.Meanwhile, Kim said the ongoing Middle East conflict has already triggered broader regional shifts, including the UAE's decision to leave OPEC next month."The timing of the exit was planned well," ING strategists said, adding that announcing a departure during a period of significant supply disruption limits the market impact.On the supply side, signs of tightening have begun to appear in the US, with the latest data from the Energy Information Administration showing that US crude stocks fell by 6.2 million barrels to 459.5 million barrels in the week ended Apr. 24.
