-- 周四盘后交易中,欧洲、中东和非洲地区原油期货价格上涨。此前,美国总统特朗普下令美国海军“击落”试图在霍尔木兹海峡布雷的伊朗船只。目前,美伊两国仍对这条战略水道的贸易往来实施限制。 布伦特原油期货上涨1.58%,至每桶103.47美元;穆尔班原油期货上涨1.14%,至每桶104.29美元。 三菱日联银行(MUFG)研究分析师金秀珍(Soojin Kim)表示:“由于美伊和平谈判破裂,以及围绕霍尔木兹海峡的冲突持续升级,油价连续第四个交易日上涨。” 尽管应巴基斯坦的要求,特朗普延长了与伊朗的停火协议,但两国仍限制船只通过这一关键能源咽喉要道。在中东冲突爆发前,该海峡曾承载着全球约20%的石油日供应量。 美国总统周四表示,他已下令美国海军“击落”在霍尔木兹海峡布雷的船只,并声称华盛顿现在“完全控制”了该航道,同时指示军方毫不犹豫地对伊朗小型船只采取行动。 周四,美国战争部表示,其部队在印度洋拦截了一艘受制裁的油轮,该油轮当时正从伊朗运载石油。此次拦截发生在一天前,当时美国封锁了伊朗油轮“英雄二号”(M/V Hero II)、“海蒂号”(M/V Hedy)和“多雷纳号”(M/V Dorena)。 美国战争部表示:“我们将继续在全球范围内开展海上执法行动,以打击非法网络,并拦截向伊朗提供物资支持的船只,无论它们在何处活动。” 伊朗官员指责美国违反了伊朗在脆弱的停火协议开始时提出的十点框架下的承诺。伊朗议会议长兼首席谈判代表穆罕默德·巴格尔·卡利巴夫表示,只有美国解除封锁,全面停火才有意义。 据当地媒体报道,伊朗议会副议长哈米德雷扎·哈吉·巴巴伊表示,从途经霍尔木兹海峡的船只收取的首批通行费已存入伊朗中央银行账户。 “因此,关键问题在于何时重新开放。市场可能正处于从‘即将达成协议’到‘这可能需要更长时间’的转变边缘,”瑞典商业银行(SEB)首席大宗商品分析师比雅恩·希尔德罗普表示。 据报道,通行费因船只类型、尺寸和货物而异。媒体报道称,收取的费用将存入一个统一账户,资金的使用方式将在稍后决定。 周三,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队袭击了三艘船只,并将其中两艘转移至伊朗领海。据MarineTraffic网站显示,这两艘船只均由地中海航运公司(MSC)运营。 ING策略师表示,随着希望的破灭,供应中断的现实将会显现,价格仍有进一步上涨的空间。
