欧洲、中东和非洲地区石油市场动态:美伊谈判陷入僵局,霍尔木兹海峡原油输送受阻,原油价格上涨

By

-- 周一盘后交易中,欧洲、中东和非洲地区原油期货价格上涨,原因是美伊和平谈判陷入僵局,持续阻碍霍尔木兹海峡的石油运输,加剧了人们对全球供应前景趋紧的担忧。 布伦特原油期货上涨3.15%,至每桶108.65美元;穆尔班原油期货上涨0.29%,至每桶103.89美元。 三菱日联金融集团(MUFG)研究分析师金秀珍(Soojin Kim)表示,由于美伊和平谈判陷入僵局,霍尔木兹海峡持续关闭,导致近年来最严重的能源供应中断之一持续下去,原油价格再次上涨。 据报道,德国总理弗里德里希·默茨周一表示,由于特朗普总统未能就结束中东冲突进行谈判,美国正受到伊朗领导层的“羞辱”。 梅尔茨在德国西部一所中学对一群学生发表讲话时表示,美国没有明确的伊朗冲突退出战略,并补充说,“整个国家正受到伊朗领导层的羞辱,尤其是那些所谓的革命卫队。” 上周末,特朗普取消了美国和平特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和贾里德·库什纳原定访问巴基斯坦的行程。巴基斯坦正在斡旋和平谈判。与此同时,伊朗表示,如果受到威胁,就不会进行谈判。 周一,伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇在莫斯科会见了俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京,讨论伊朗冲突。双方的谈判似乎已经陷入僵局。 阿拉格奇此次访问之前,双方刚刚在巴基斯坦和阿曼举行了周末会谈。巴基斯坦和阿曼都曾作为德黑兰和华盛顿之间谈判的斡旋方。 “缺乏进展意味着市场每天都在收紧,迫使油价重新定价,”荷兰国际集团(ING)策略师表示,并补充说,几乎没有其他办法可以弥补约1300万桶/日的供应缺口。 据报道,普京告诉阿拉格奇,俄罗斯将“竭尽全力维护你的利益,维护该地区所有人民的利益,以便尽快实现和平”。 周一,阿曼也呼吁通过外交途径确保霍尔木兹海峡的航行自由。 “我们认识到我们对国际社会的共同责任,以及解救被扣押过久的海员的迫切人道主义需求。我们需要大量的外交努力和切实可行的解决方案,以确保持久的航行自由,”阿曼外交部长巴德尔·布赛迪在X网站上发表文章称。 与此同时,美国中央司令部表示,其部队将继续执行封锁,阻止船只进出伊朗水域。美国中央司令部周日在X网站上发布消息称:“美军已指示38艘舰艇掉头或返回港口。” 在供应方面,Kpler表示,由于转向轻质原油导致真空瓦斯油产量下降(真空瓦斯油是加氢裂化装置的关键原料),欧洲炼油系统面临压力。 Kpler分析师周一表示:“中东地区的供应中断以及来自亚洲的竞争限制了中等含硫原油的供应,导致富含馏分油的原油供应紧张。”

US Natural Gas Update: Futures Rise on Cooler Weather Outlook

US natural gas futures climbed in after-hours trading on Monday as a cooler weather outlook and easing supply conditions triggered some short covering.The front-month Henry Hub contract and the continuous contract both rose 0.75% to $2.542 per million British thermal units.Prices briefly touched an intraday high of around $2.63/MMBtu in earlier trade."Nat-gas prices settled higher on Monday as short covering emerged amid colder US weather forecasts, potentially boosting nat-gas heating demand," Barchart said.Weather-driven demand shifts were a key driver. NatGasWeather.com said models have moved cooler versus last week, adding more heating demand days while reducing cooling demand. The forecaster said the change leaves the outlook less bearish and closer to neutral or slightly bullish.On the demand side, residential and commercial consumption increased sharply to 15.2 billion cubic feet per day from 12.5 Bcf/d as cooler temperatures boosted heating needs. Power burn remained steady at 32.5 Bcf/d and is projected to average 30.3 Bcf/d for the week, up from 29 Bcf/d last week, Gelber & Associates said.Total US natural gas production was flat last week, averaging around 106.5 Bcf/d, NRG Energy said. Trading Economics said output fell by around 4.1 Bcf/d over the past 18 days to an 11-week low of 108.1 Bcf/d, as major producers such as EQT scaled back output in response to low prices.Both NRG Energy and Gelber said Canadian imports fell to 4.7-4.8 Bcf/d from 5.5 Bcf/d.On the export side, Barchart, citing BNEF data, said LNG flows were 19.5 Bcf/d, down 2.1% from last week's robust levels. Trading Economics put the April average feedgas flow at 18.9 Bcf/d so far and noted it was near record highs."Today saw cooler forecast revisions, softer production, and steady LNG demand, which offers limited support for prices. That said, overall fundamental balances are not tight enough to fully change the story," Gelber said Monday.
