市場傳聞:川普或將延長允許外國船隻進入美國國內航運市場的法案

-- 根據Axios週二報導,美國總統川普可能尋求延長一項海事法的暫停期限。該法案允許外國建造、懸掛外國國旗的船舶在美國港口之間運輸石油。美國政府稱,這項措施在伊朗戰爭期間限制了燃料價格的上漲。 Axios指出,這項名為《瓊斯法案》的法規於1920年頒布,由於符合條件的船隊數量相當短缺,導緻美國港口之間運輸石油和其他貨物的成本上升。川普於3月18日暫停了該法案60天。 鑑於該法案會隔離美國船運商的市場並減少競爭,任何延長暫停期限的做法都可能引發爭議。 Axios稱,自暫停實施以來,已有40艘油輪能夠在包括加州、德州、佛羅裡達州和阿拉斯加州在內的港口之間運輸石油,使可用船舶數量增加了70%,並降低了成本。 Axios引述政府官員的話報導,自豁免生效以來,懸掛外國國旗的船舶已在美國港口之間運輸了900萬桶石油,其中相當一部分航空燃油運往阿拉斯加。 文章引用了保守派智庫哈德遜研究所的一項分析,該分析稱暫停進口可能「損害」數萬美國工人的利益,並危及數十億美元投資於國內航運和造船業的回報。 然而,自由意志主義智庫卡托研究所則表示,該法律已經過時且負擔沉重,但卻已實施了一個世紀之久。 川普的一位顧問告訴Axios新聞網,只要伊朗戰爭持續並導致燃料價格居高不下,總統就希望維持這項豁免。 文章稱,白宮發言人泰勒羅傑斯表示,尚未就延長豁免做出任何決定,但政府已指出,該豁免加快了交付速度並降低了成本。已聯繫白宮尋求置評。 (市場閒談新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊被認為是來自可靠來源,但可能包含傳聞和猜測。準確性無法保證。)
