-- 周三盘后交易中,受美国和伊朗即将达成结束中东冲突的框架协议的报道影响,欧洲、中东和非洲地区(EMEA)原油期货价格延续跌势。特朗普总统表示,最终协议的达成已取得“巨大进展”。 布伦特原油期货下跌6.85%,至每桶110.38美元;穆尔班原油期货下跌7.63%,至每桶97.88美元。 三菱日联金融集团(MUFG)研究分析师金秀珍(Soojin Kim)表示,对伊朗港口的海上封锁仍然有效,“导致供应中断程度居高不下”。 金秀珍还表示:“美国官员确认,尽管海湾地区近期发生袭击事件,但停火协议仍然有效,这表明军事冲突再次升级的可能性降低。” 周三,特朗普总统表示,美国将暂停护送船只通过霍尔木兹海峡的行动,这标志着在达成最终伊朗协议方面取得了进展。 据报道,美国官员认为华盛顿即将达成一份仅有一页、包含14项要点的谅解备忘录,以结束战争并为更详细的核谈判建立框架。 特朗普政府预计伊朗将在未来48小时内对几个关键点作出回应,但目前尚未达成任何协议。 特朗普在Truth Social网站上发帖称:“假设伊朗同意做出已达成的让步——这或许是一个很大的假设——那么这场已经名声大噪的‘史诗级愤怒’(Epic Fury)将会结束,而高效的封锁将使霍尔木兹海峡对包括伊朗在内的所有国家开放。” 据媒体报道,作为美伊谈判调解人的巴基斯坦表示,双方即将就一份仅有一页的谅解备忘录达成一致。与此同时,伊朗正在审查美国提出的新方案,并将很快通过巴基斯坦传达其回应。 Rystad分析师表示,有关可能达成协议的报道越来越可信。巴基斯坦外交部表示,预计“很快”就能找到解决方案,而美国则预计伊朗将在48小时内做出回应。 Rystad首席石油分析师Paola Rodriguez-Masiu表示:“协议的宣布将立即进一步推动期货价格上涨,事实上,即使只是达成协议的可能性,也已经引发了油价下跌。然而,现货市场的运行并不受政治时间表的左右。” 自中东冲突爆发以来,由于经由霍尔木兹海峡的船只交通中断,全球能源供应损失加剧,市场动荡,油价上涨。周二,特朗普表示,美国将暂时停止“自由计划”,理由是与伊朗的谈判取得了进展。 展望未来,Kim表示,尽管外交前景有所改善,但美国原油库存趋紧和持续存在的中东供应风险仍将继续支撑油价。 美国能源信息署(EIA)表示,截至5月1日当周,美国石油产品出口总量达到创纪录的820万桶/日。根据EIA的周度数据,这一数字高于前一周的770万桶/日。
