最新消息:阿聯酋將於5月1日退出歐佩克

By

-- (本文將根據官方聲明和分析師評論進行更新。) 阿聯酋能源部長蘇海爾·馬茲魯伊週二在社群媒體上證實,阿聯酋將於5月1日起退出石油輸出國組織(歐佩克)及其盟友。 馬茲魯伊在X平台上發文表示:“阿聯酋退出歐佩克的決定反映了一項以政策為導向的演變,與長期市場基本面相符。” 這位能源部長早些時候告訴路透社,政府在做出退出該卡特爾的決定之前沒有與任何其他國家進行磋商。他表示,這項決定將使阿聯酋在能源產品的生產、儲存和運輸方面擁有更大的靈活性。 阿聯酋於1967年加入歐佩克,作為一個重要的產油國,其成員資格在歐佩克制定產量目標乃至最終影響全球油價方面都具有舉足輕重的地位。 一位分析師指出,這個老成員可能正在尋求擺脫產量限制,以便大幅提高產量。 歐佩克透過每月一次的會議對全球油價施加巨大影響,在會議上,許多世界最大的產油國就未來幾週的產量水準達成協議。 斯巴達能源分析師菲爾·克羅斯比在給的書面評論中表示,該國退出歐佩克並不完全出乎意料,而且「早有預兆」。 克羅斯比說:“從長遠來看,他們希望產量更接近其產能,這將對油價造成一定壓力,但考慮到戰爭已經導致10億桶的供應損失,這在短期內不會造成太大問題。” 他還補充說,一旦霍爾木茲港開放,該國可能可以可持續生產450萬至480萬桶/日的石油,並指出根據歐佩克配額,該國的日產量為340萬桶。已聯繫了其他歐佩克成員國。

Update: WTI Rises as Progress on Ending the Iran War Stalls; the UAE Ends Its OPEC Membership

(Updates prices and adds UAE's Withdrawal from OPEC in the final two paragraphs.)West Texas Intermediate (WTI) closed higher on Tuesday, with the U.S. benchmark price flirting with the US$100 per barrel for the first time in three weeks as hopes for an end to the war on Iran fade and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.WTI crude oil for June delivery closed up US$3.56 to settle at US$99.93 per barrel as it failed to hold the US$100 mark it topped during the session, while June Brent oil was last seen up US$2.58 to US$110.81.Weekend talks expected to be held in Pakistan between Iran and the United States failed to take place, while a Monday proposal from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in return for lifting a U.S. blockade of its ports and deferring talks over its nuclear program was rejected by President Trump.Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz after the United States and Israel launched attacks on the country on Feb. 28. The Strait is the chokepoint for 20% of daily global oil demand supplied by Persian Gulf nations and its closure has produced the largest-ever supply shock, pushing up oil prices by 49% since the start of the war."Oil extended its rally ... amid no signs of progress toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz, where US and Iranian blockades have reduced daily transits to near zero. Warnings over the severity of the global supply squeeze continue to intensify, with tightness in refined fuel markets already pushing diesel and jet fuel prices toward USD 200 per barrel," Saxo Bank noted.The closure of the Strait has pushed up spot price for oil, as the Asian nations that rely on Gulf producers compete for available barrels. Rising prices have heightened inflation and raises the risk of a global recession as the lack of supply forces demand destruction and chokes off economic growth."Alarm bells will ring loudly if the SoH (Strait of Hormuz) doesn't reopen during May. Spot crude and product prices will trade higher and higher. And if a decent reopening doesn't take place before June/July, then the risk is significant for a real crisis where the world may be forced to reduce its oil consumption closer to the level of availability," Bjarne Schieldrop, chief analyst commodities at SEB Research, wrote.Also on Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates, the No.3 OPEC producer and the No.7 global oil exporter, said it will withdraw from OPEC on May 1, freeing itself from the cartel's quota system that restricted its output well below its production capacity."We reaffirm our appreciation for the efforts of both OPEC and the OPEC+ alliance and wish them success. During our time in the organisation, we made significant contributions and even greater sacrifices for the benefit of all. However, the time has come to focus our efforts on what our national interest dictates and our commitment to our investors, customers, partners and global energy markets," the country's government said in a release.
