原油周涨势持续,受中东局势不确定性引发的供应风险影响,布伦特原油价格飙升逾17%。

By

-- 全球原油基准价格本周大幅上涨,市场放弃了对迅速解决问题的希望,转而预期双方将陷入长期僵局,导致全球库存以惊人的速度下降。 西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)周五收于每桶94.88美元,高于前一周的每桶85.57美元;布伦特原油期货结算价也走高,报每桶105.98美元,高于一周前的每桶91.78美元。 布伦特原油本周涨幅超过17%,WTI原油本周涨幅超过13%。 本周油价波动剧烈,开局出现反弹,但随着中东紧张局势加剧,地缘政治风险溢价显著上升。 SEB分析师表示,布伦特原油本周上涨约9美元/桶,反映出市场情绪从“即将达成协议”转变为“谈判将比预期耗时更长”。 他们警告说,如果5月1日最后期限之后每拖延一周,理论上全年平均价格将上涨5美元/桶。 随着新一轮和平谈判破裂以及一系列海上冲突升级,乐观情绪在本周中期消散殆尽。 周三和周四,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队公布了突击队员扣押多艘外国集装箱船的视频,而美国军方则在印度洋拦截了一艘涉嫌走私伊朗原油的油轮作为报复。 然而,有关伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇周五访问巴基斯坦的消息一度导致WTI原油价格下跌1%。 “我即将开始对伊斯兰堡、马斯喀特和莫斯科的访问。此行的目的是与我们的伙伴密切协调双边事务,并就地区局势发展进行磋商。”阿拉格奇在社交媒体X上发帖称。 然而,伊朗公共外交中心主任兼外交部发言人伊斯梅尔·巴卡伊在X上发帖称,此次对巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡的访问是正式的。“阿拉格奇外长将与巴基斯坦高级官员会面,以配合他们正在进行的斡旋和斡旋工作,结束美国强加的侵略战争,恢复我们地区的和平。”巴卡伊发帖称。 “伊朗和美国之间没有计划举行会晤。伊朗的意见将转达给巴基斯坦。”巴卡伊说。 分析师表示,此次危机的规模前所未有,全球供应中断从3月份的每日910万桶扩大到4月份的每日1370万桶。 分析师指出,随着全球库存每周减少1亿桶,5月中旬重新开放原油供应可能会将布伦特原油价格推低至每桶100美元,而如果推迟到6月或7月,则会显著推高油价。 摩根大通分析师报告称,全球集中在沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋的闲置产能实际上已被切断,这使得市场失去了传统的稳定机制。 路透社报道称,由于区域原油进口量跌至10年来的最低点,亚洲炼油商面临加工量大幅下降的局面。 HFI Research的策略师认为,石油市场遭受的结构性破坏意味着它“将永远无法恢复到以前的样子”。 供应方面,美国能源信息署(EIA)周三发布的周报显示,截至4月17日当周,美国原油库存增加190万桶,达到4.657亿桶。 EIA表示,目前原油库存比五年同期平均水平高出约3%。 美国商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)周五发布的最新交易商持仓报告显示,截至4月21日当周,WTI原油期货和期权市场的基金经理维持了净多头头寸。 数据显示,基金经理报告的多头头寸为220,477手,较4月14日减少5,673手;空头头寸减少4,830手,至77,076手。 贝克休斯公司(BKR)周五发布的数据显示,截至4月24日当周,美国石油钻井平台数量减少3座,从前一周的410座降至407座。一年前,美国共有475座石油钻井平台在运营。 北美油气钻井平台总数(这是衡量未来产量水平的关键早期指标)较前一周增加一座,达到674座,而前一周为673座。
