-- 周一,西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)价格在波动中收高,交易员密切关注波斯湾地区不断升级的暴力冲突。 6月交割的WTI原油期货价格上涨4.48美元,收于每桶106.42美元;7月交割的布伦特原油期货价格上涨6.53美元,收于每桶114.70美元。 伊朗袭击了位于阿曼湾的阿联酋富查伊拉石油港,使其得以在霍尔木兹海峡仍然被封锁的情况下继续出口石油。《华尔街日报》报道称,伊朗还向美国军舰和商船发射了导弹。 伊朗法尔斯通讯社也报道称,伊朗军队向一艘美国军舰发射了两枚导弹,阻止其进入霍尔木兹海峡。自2月28日战争爆发以来,伊朗一直封锁霍尔木兹海峡,切断了波斯湾国家供应的全球20%的石油需求。然而,《卫报》报道称,美国中央司令部驳斥了这一报道,并继续封锁伊朗港口。 美国总统特朗普周末在社交媒体上发文称,美国将开始护送滞留在波斯湾的船只通过霍尔木兹海峡,但并未透露该计划的细节。《华尔街日报》援引两位美国官员的话报道称,特朗普“打算利用各国、保险公司和航运组织来疏导海峡交通。目前该计划不涉及美国海军军舰护送船只通过该水道”。由于该计划的细节尚不明确,油价并未因此下降,自冲突爆发以来,油价已上涨约一半。 盛宝银行写道:“由于该计划的实施存在不确定性,市场依然脆弱。据报道,科威特的石油出口已降至零,这凸显了区域供应中断的严重程度。”
