-- 日本石油勘探公司（東京證券交易所代碼：1662）週五在東京證券交易所發佈公告稱，由於中東局勢日益緊張，液化天然氣（LNG）採購成本上升，預計公司利潤將大幅下滑。 成本上升的原因是，由於霍爾木茲海峽被封鎖，該公司不得不從其他地區購買現貨LNG，以取代原計劃從波斯灣運輸的兩批貨物。 此外，伊拉克政府宣布不可抗力後，伊拉克南部加拉夫油田的生產和運輸也已暫停，恢復的可能性不大，而該計畫的預期收入也因此化為泡影。 雖然原油價格上漲和日圓貶值通常會提振利潤，但預計這些收益將被更高的現貨LNG成本、伊拉克項目暫停以及國內化工產品供需緊張等因素所抵消，所有這些因素都將侵蝕利潤。 JAPEX目前正在分析具體的財務影響，並計劃將預估數字納入其截至2027年3月的財年盈利預測中，該預測將於2026年5月13日公佈。 該公司股價收盤下跌2%。

Asia Biofuels Update: Malaysian Palm Oil Diverges from Crude Oil on Weaker Exports, Stronger Ringgit
Malaysian palm oil futures slipped on Monday, pulling away from crude oil prices, as weaker exports and a stronger local currency weighed on sentiment.Reversing the previous session's gains, the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives' May crude palm oil contract fell 0.66% to 4,487 Malaysian ringgit ($1,134.94) per metric ton. The June contract dropped by 0.96% to 4,521 ringgit/mt in midday trade.Malaysian shipments for the April 1-25 period reportedly declined 15.7% from a month earlier, according to cargo surveyors cited by Trading Economics.A stronger Malaysian ringgit, which rose against the US dollar by 0.28% on Monday, could further pressure exports as it makes them costlier.The recent drop in Malaysian shipments followed a 29.1% year-over-year rise in Q1 exports, as buyers advanced purchases due to the expected surge in shipping costs and as volumes of rival Indonesian cargoes softened due to higher export levies.Indonesia's move to raise its palm-based biodiesel blending to 50% from 40% beginning July 1 could further lift Malaysian exports going forward.The Malaysia Palm Oil Council said Indonesia's B50 program could absorb an additional 3 million metric tons per year of palm oil. Annual domestic consumption in Thailand could also increase by 350,000 metric tons as the country moves to B7 from B5, while demand in Malaysia could rise by 300,000 mt as the government raises its biodiesel blend to B15 from B10.Rising biofuel demand, elevated crude oil prices, and supply risks from the potential development of an El Nino weather trend will support palm oil prices, with the MPOC projecting them at around 4,500 ringgit/mt in the near term."However, further gains are likely to be capped by softer export demand amid inflation and weaker economic growth in key importing countries, alongside rising stocks as palm oil production gradually enters its seasonal peak," the MPOC said.According to Jim Teh, senior palm oil trader at Interband Group of Co., as cited by Bernama, palm oil prices could trade between 4,200 ringgit/mt and 4,300 ringgit/mt this week due to profit taking.
