-- 据彭博社周二发布的一份分析报告显示,美国零售汽油和柴油价格已达到历史新高,加剧了夏季出行高峰前的燃油成本压力。 该分析指出,随着夏季出行高峰的临近,汽油和柴油价格攀升至新的季节性高峰,美国消费者正面临着一年中异常高的燃油成本。 该分析援引美国汽车协会的数据称,由于市场对美伊协议的预期,零售燃油价格近日略有回落,但仍处于高位。周一汽油均价为每加仑4.12美元。 该分析指出,这一价格创下了同期新高,超过了2022年创下的每加仑4.07美元的纪录。2022年,由于俄罗斯入侵乌克兰导致供应中断,燃油价格飙升。 该分析还指出,全国平均柴油价格达到每加仑5.65美元,比2022年的前一个季节性高峰高出0.60美元以上。 此次油价飙升与霍尔木兹海峡的交通中断有关。伊朗卷入的冲突限制了这条关键航道的石油运输,该航道承担着全球近四分之一的海运石油运输量。 分析指出,原油价格上涨加剧了整体通胀压力,燃油成本上涨推高了交通运输、食品价格,甚至机票价格,从而加剧了经济压力。 自2月下旬以来,汽油价格已上涨超过每加仑1.10美元。当时,美国和以色列对伊朗的空袭加剧了紧张局势,并导致全球能源市场趋紧。 分析显示,美国能源部长克里斯·赖特周二表示,汽油价格可能在未来几周内保持高位,这凸显了供应状况持续存在的不确定性。 分析称,美国能源信息署预计,如果紧张局势缓解,第二季度汽油均价将达到每加仑4.16美元,到第四季度将回落至每加仑3.55美元。
