-- Vortexa分析师周五在回复的电子邮件中表示,霍尔木兹海峡的重新开放更有可能改善物流而非增加供应,有助于恢复延误的油气货物运输,尽管过境量尚未出现显著增长。 Vortexa分析师克莱尔·荣格曼(Claire Jungman)告诉:“短期来看,它更有可能改善物流而非创造新的供应。” 她补充说,许多原油是延误或排队等待,而不是从市场上移除,因此重新开放应该有助于原油、液化石油气和液化天然气货物恢复运输。 她补充道:“然而,自今天(周五)宣布以来,我们没有看到过境量有任何显著变化。” 荣格曼表示,石油流动可以缓解当前的供应担忧并降低地缘政治溢价,并补充说:“对于天然气而言,考虑到与卡塔尔相关的液化天然气经由霍尔木兹海峡运输,这一点尤为重要。” 她表示,航运流量的正常化很可能是一个渐进的过程。“然而,如果运输仍然需要管控航线或增加摩擦,那么正常化可能是一个渐进的过程,而不是立即实现的。” 谈到眼前的挑战,荣格曼表示:“主要风险在于,这看起来更像是管控走廊,而不是完全正常化。如果船舶仍然需要审批、指定航线或面临额外成本,航运流量仍然可能延误。” 她补充说,如果船东和保险公司保持谨慎,货运市场也可能持续紧张。“积压的船舶试图同时复航可能会造成新的拥堵,而任何再次发生的安全事件都会迅速将风险溢价推回石油和天然气市场。”她说道。 荣格曼表示,霍尔木兹海峡的中断迫使依赖中东能源供应的炼油商实施替代采购策略,促使他们转向美国墨西哥湾沿岸、西非和地中海地区的供应,而一些进口商可能依赖于库存。 她表示:“如果霍尔木兹海峡保持开放,部分原油流向可能会逆转回中东,尤其是亚洲,因为亚洲的货运经济效益更高。” 然而,荣格曼指出,如果航线管制或类似通行费的成本持续存在,一些炼油商可能会维持较高的库存水平,并保持多元化的采购渠道,直到市场信心完全恢复。 Rystad Energy表示,在其“海峡开放”情景下,产量损失将微乎其微,低于每日30万桶,2026年总供应中断量接近900万桶,布伦特原油价格可能接近每桶80美元。 该公司表示,周五发布的乐观情景与其此前公布的基本情景的主要区别在于时间节点。基本情景假设5月份以来的复苏速度较慢,这将导致更大的12亿桶缺口,并更有可能使油价保持在每桶120美元以上。 Rystad 补充道,油轮网络恢复正常可能需要 6-8 周时间,保险公司和船东需要 2-5 周才能恢复运营,上游产量则需要 2-6 周才能恢复,这两者基本同时发生。 Price Futures 高级客户经理 Phil Flynn 告诉,霍尔木兹海峡即将开放的消息传出后,能源价格大幅下跌。 Flynn 表示,这是一个积极的进展,我们已经看到汽油价格大幅下降。“人们担心霍尔木兹海峡恢复正常需要一些时间,这确实如此,但与此同时,市场也做好了应对更长时间停航的准备,”他补充道。 Phil Flynn 表示,汽油价格已从近期高位回落,市场参与者此前预计霍尔木兹海峡的航运中断时间会更长。 他指出,尽管航道正常化可能需要时间,但对供应风险持续存在的预期,以及全球战略石油储备的释放,可能会继续对油价构成下行压力。然而,他也警告说,市场依然敏感,此前曾因一些暗示进展的新闻报道而“剧烈波动”。 他补充说,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普目前对伊朗的立场,以及有关正在进行的和平谈判和局势缓和的报道,可能会降低油价的风险溢价。 Rystad Energy表示,局势升级的风险依然存在,并警告称,如果冲突延长六周,且美国实施全面封锁,则供应损失可能增加至约18亿桶,这可能会引发需求急剧下降,从而最早在6月或7月出现燃料短缺。 富国银行表示,美国的封锁正在加剧伊朗经济的压力,迫使双方更加关注核心问题,包括霍尔木兹海峡的控制权和德黑兰的核计划。 该公司表示,近期伊朗宣布允许船只在停火期间沿指定航线自由通行,这些举措表明局势正在取得进展,但执法和长期航运通道的畅通仍存在不确定性。 富国银行补充道,关于浓缩铀协议和更广泛条件能否维持霍尔木兹海峡的畅通无阻,以及全球油气市场稳定的关键因素,仍然存在诸多不确定因素。 斯蒂费尔经济策略师表示,由于市场对伊朗在停火期间重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的乐观情绪升温,全球股市周五上涨,标普500指数上涨0.73%,至7093.09点。 斯蒂费尔认为,伊朗决定在为期10天的停火期间允许船只通过海峡,标志着在近期美国领导的海上封锁之后,恢复能源流动迈出了关键一步。 分析师补充说,市场将此举解读为朝着达成更广泛协议迈出的一步,这支撑了股市,并缓解了人们对全球石油供应中断的担忧。 麦格理策略师蒂埃里·维兹曼和加雷斯·贝里表示,此轮上涨是由“和平叙事”推动的,尽管这种叙事很大程度上依赖于美国的信息传递,而非双方已确认的进展。 他们表示,投资者实际上是在依赖特朗普的说法,并补充说,在伊朗方面信号有限的情况下,市场信心“仅仅依赖于对特朗普的信任”。 维兹曼和贝里表示,霍尔木兹海峡的重新开放可能会提振市场情绪,但他们强调,只有伊朗做出“核让步”才能标志着冲突的持久结束。 麦格理策略师维克托·什韦茨表示,促成海峡重新开放的停火协议仍然脆弱,黎巴嫩尚未解决的紧张局势以及根深蒂固的地区集团对稳定构成风险。 什韦茨补充说,伊朗仍然拥有强大的军事能力和非对称作战能力,不太可能放弃其核野心或对霍尔木兹海峡的战略控制等关键筹码。 他表示,虽然大规模升级的风险可能有所缓解,但市场应预期波动性将持续存在,反复出现的冲击和央行不断变化的应对措施将影响经济增长和通胀前景。
