-- 根據彭博社週二報道，越南石油天然氣公司（PetroVietnam Gas JSC，HOSE:GAS）計劃在5月大幅增加從美國進口液化石油氣（LPG）。中東戰爭造成的供應中斷正在改變全球能源供應格局。 這家國營企業預計下個月將從美國進口約6.6萬噸液化石油氣，而從中東的進口量為4.4萬噸。由於霍爾木茲海峽實際上已經關閉，中東的供應鏈受到了衝擊。 本月，美國液化石油氣的進口量已激增至約7.6萬噸，較3月的2,200噸大幅增加。 3月份，越南石油天然氣公司首次進入美國市場。據報道，該公司表示，供應商宣布的不可抗力事件擾亂了長期合同，促使其轉向美國、澳大利亞、歐洲和非洲等地的替代能源。 根據該新聞媒體報道，該公司預計在衝突爆發後的三個月內，總共將獲得約25萬噸液化石油氣，其中超過一半來自美國。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。）

Rate Increases Have Limited Impact on Japanese Borrowers' Credit Quality, S&P Says
Increasing interest rates will not have a significant effect on Japanese borrowers' creditworthiness, although repayment burdens could intensify if the rise in rates continues, S&P Global Ratings said in a Tuesday release.The rating agency expects limited impact on repayment capacity from higher interest rates as residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) are usually backed by fixed-rate housing loans, S&P said.However, rate increases could heighten total borrowing, especially under increased real estate prices, S&P said.The spike in housing prices is likely due to increased employment costs and a sustained rise in imported material prices, the rating agency said.Still, S&P expects that even under the most severe stress scenario, tranches to be downgraded would only have a 17% share of all rated RMBS transactions and still lead to ratings of A+ or higher.
