-- 周三，布伦特原油期货价格飙升，接近4月初以来的最高水平。此前，阿联酋历史性地退出了欧佩克，加之持续对霍尔木兹海峡实施双重海上封锁。 布伦特原油期货合约上涨1%，至每桶112.36美元，创下3月下旬以来的最高水平。穆尔班原油4月28日收于每桶106.70美元，截至发稿时已停止交易。 此次油价飙升源于阿联酋正式宣布退出欧佩克，该决定将于5月1日生效，这对全球石油卡特尔造成了历史性的打击。 能源部长苏海尔·马兹鲁伊证实，此举是“政策驱动的演变”，旨在绕过产量配额，重建全球石油储备，并将阿联酋扩大的产能货币化。 Rystad Energy的策略师警告称，阿联酋退出欧佩克，加上欧佩克原油库存的锐减，引发了人们对欧佩克未来能否有效管理日益分裂且供应不足的全球市场的严重质疑。 由于霍尔木兹海峡实际上仍然关闭，目前的供应前景依然严峻。 据报道，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二指示助手们做好对伊朗“长期封锁”的准备，尽管他同时在社交媒体上声称德黑兰政权正处于“崩溃状态”，并试图重新开放这条水道。 美国石油协会的数据显示，截至4月24日当周，美国原油库存骤降179万桶，进一步推高了油价。 目前，石油市场正翘首以盼美国能源信息署将于周三发布的石油库存报告。 盛宝银行分析师表示：“交易员们现在关注和平谈判的下一步进展以及今天的美国库存报告，以进一步了解在强劲的出口需求下，美国库存下降的速度有多快。”

Crude Oil Prices Continue Rising as Strait of Hormuz Remains Blocked, Commerzbank Says
Crude oil prices remain on an upward trajectory as the Strait of Hormuz has not yet been opened despite a halt in hostilities, as the situation has worsened due to the U.S. naval blockade against Iran, Commerzbank said in a Tuesday note.Talks between the U.S. and Iran have also come at a standstill, with a new offer from Iran to open the strait unlikely to be considered acceptable by the U.S., the bank noted. Iran is demanding an end to the blockade and the postponement of talks on the nuclear program.Concerns are also growing about a prolonged supply shortage in the oil market. This is also evident in the widening of time spreads, or the price differences between the various contract maturities along with Brent futures curve, according to Commerzbank.The spread between the nearest-month and the next-month Brent futures contracts is once again just under US$7, while the spread between the nearest-month and the seven-month contract is more than $20. These are the highest price premiums for oil available for immediate delivery in three weeks, the bank said.
