-- 周二盘后交易中,欧洲、中东和非洲地区原油期货价格小幅走高,市场正等待美国对伊朗最新提议的回应。与此同时,霍尔木兹海峡的双重封锁令供应担忧持续升温。 布伦特原油期货上涨2.61%,至每桶110.98美元;穆尔班原油期货上涨2.91%,至每桶107.22美元。 周二,特朗普总统在社交媒体上发帖称,伊朗希望美国解除对这条关键航道的海上封锁,并“尽快”重新开放。 “伊朗刚刚告知我们,他们正处于‘崩溃状态’。他们希望我们尽快‘开放霍尔木兹海峡’,因为他们正在努力解决领导层问题。”特朗普在Truth Social网站上发帖写道。 据报道,特朗普告诉其顾问,他对伊朗提出的开放霍尔木兹海峡、结束这场扰乱全球能源市场的中东冲突的提议并不满意。然而,目前尚不清楚美国总统究竟为何不喜欢伊朗的提议。 据报道,伊朗已表示可能愿意接受一项临时协议,以重新开放霍尔木兹海峡为条件,换取结束封锁。然而,关于德黑兰核计划的更复杂的谈判仍需等待。 与此同时,途经霍尔木兹海峡的商船交通仍然受到严格限制,该海峡承载着全球约20%的石油和天然气供应。 Kpler的最新数据显示,仅记录到六艘船只通过该海峡,比前一天增加两艘,所有船只均自西向东航行,商业和非商业活动各占一半。 航运数据公司表示,由于伊朗提出新的谈判方案,这条战略水道的通行权仍然不明朗,每日过境数量的小幅增长表明各方保持谨慎,而非交通量出现实质性复苏。 据Marine Traffic数据显示,日本超大型原油运输船“出光丸”号已完成霍尔木兹海峡的通行,船上载有200万桶原油,这些原油于3月初从沙特阿拉伯朱艾迈码头装载。 在供应方面,据报道,伊朗的原油储存能力即将耗尽,这增加了其可能被迫进一步减产的可能性。美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周一在社交媒体上发文称,由于霍尔木兹海峡的封锁,伊朗石油工业“开始停产”。 阿联酋宣布退出欧佩克及其附属的欧佩克+联盟,这对协调全球众多最大产油国原油生产的欧佩克+联盟造成了重大打击。 Rystad Energy 地缘政治分析主管 Jorge Leon 表示,阿联酋的退出使该生产商集团失去了其核心影响力机制之一,即可用于抵消中断或撤回以支撑价格的备用产能。
