-- 周二，西德克萨斯中质原油（WTI）下跌3.9%，原因是美伊停火协议有望维持，周一波斯湾暴力冲突有所缓和，令油价上涨势头有所减弱。 6月交割的WTI原油期货收盘下跌4.15美元，报每桶102.27美元，此前周一上涨4.4%。7月交割的布伦特原油期货最新报每桶110.20美元，下跌4.24美元。 周一，伊朗袭击了位于阿曼湾的阿联酋富查伊拉石油港，伊朗战争的敌对行动升级。自2月28日战争爆发以来，该港口一直在持续出口石油，尽管波斯湾的石油供应仍然被困在霍尔木兹海峡。伊朗还向美国军舰开火，声称用两枚导弹击中了一艘美国军舰，但美国军方否认了这一说法。 美国随即对伊朗快艇发动袭击，与此同时，特朗普总统表示，美国将开始引导船只通过霍尔木兹海峡。路透社报道称，悬挂美国国旗的汽车运输船“联盟费尔法克斯”号（Alliance Fairfax）周一在美军护航下通过了霍尔木兹海峡。 尽管发生了袭击事件，但据报道，美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯在周二上午的新闻发布会上表示，停火协议仍然有效，并承诺将继续努力开放霍尔木兹海峡。 然而，这场战争造成了有史以来最大的石油供应冲击，霍尔木兹海峡的关闭阻断了波斯湾的石油出口，而波斯湾的石油供应占每日石油需求的20%，这使得油价维持在接近四年高位的水平。尽管美国努力重新开放这条水道，但在达成和平协议之前，油价不太可能有所缓解。 盛宝银行（Saxo Bank）指出：“尽管美国计划恢复航运，但安全风险可能导致这条航线在美伊达成协议之前一直关闭，这将持续引发人们对能源价格的担忧。”
