-- 周一，原油价格上涨，此前周末在巴基斯坦重启美伊和平谈判的努力宣告失败，这实际上粉碎了近期通过霍尔木兹海峡恢复能源运输的希望。 布伦特原油期货合约上涨2.1%，至每桶107.57美元。穆尔班原油4月24日收于每桶103.59美元，截至发稿时已停止交易。 荷兰国际集团(ING)分析师表示：“由于重启美伊和平谈判的努力失败，近期通过霍尔木兹海峡恢复能源运输的希望破灭，油价今日早盘走强。” 外交关系降温始于美国总统唐纳德·特朗普突然取消了高级特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和贾里德·库什纳原定的伊斯兰堡之行，据报道，特朗普表示“坐着空谈毫无意义”。 此次撤离恰逢伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇抵达巴基斯坦，但双方并未直接接触。 随后对供应的影响十分显著。彭博社船舶追踪数据显示，周五仅有两艘化学品油轮和一艘液化石油气运输船离开波斯湾。 与此同时，澳新银行分析师指出，美国的封锁继续导致伊朗每日约170万桶原油出口受阻。 尽管出现供应中断，但Axios和荷兰国际集团(ING)的报道称，伊朗已通过巴基斯坦调解人提交了一份新的方案，这在一定程度上缓解了市场波动。 据报道，该方案提议重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，缓和冲突，同时将核谈判推迟到以后阶段。 荷兰国际集团(ING)指出：“然而，今天早上有新闻报道称，伊朗已向美国提出一项新方案，即重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，同时将核谈判推迟到以后阶段。”

National Bank Says Crude Oil Price Shock Could Deliver Significant Fiscal Windfall For Canadian Governments
After surging nearly 50% since the onset of the United States-Iran conflict, this crude oil price shock is one of the largest on record since the inception of WTI futures trading in the mid-1980s, said National Bank of Canada.While the change is historically significant in percentage terms, the same can't necessarily be said about where the price stands outright, noted the bank.That's true for the US dollar-denominated price, at least. The price of WTI in Canadian dollar (CAD or loonie) terms is near a record high early in Q2, recently trading just below C$160/barrel -- a level reached only once before, briefly, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, stated National Bank.Canadian producers -- and governments -- could, as a consequence, be poised to capture one of the most lucrative quarters on record in terms of royalty revenues, added the bank. How long this fiscal windfall will last is uncertain, but if sustained, its impact on provincial and federal finances will be "significant" -- particularly for oil-levered provinces such as Alberta.Though the net impact of this crude shock on the Canadian economy -- and its implications for monetary policy -- has yet to be fully revealed, National Bank urges governments to capitalize on this opportunity.Most notably, this can be done by directing any additional, unbudgeted revenues to the bottom line or toward productivity-enhancing investments in the national interest. This federal government has promised to "spend less to invest more" -- a sentiment that will once again be tested in Tuesday's Spring Economic Update, according to the bank.
