-- 周三,由于美国延长了与伊朗的停火协议,暂时阻止了直接军事升级,原油期货价格走低。 布伦特原油期货合约下跌0.8%,至每桶97.74美元。穆尔班原油4月21日收于每桶96.29美元,截至发稿时已停止交易。 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二表示,他延长了与伊朗的停火协议,同时维持对伊朗的封锁,因为谈判前景仍然不明朗。 特朗普在Truth Social上发帖称:“……应巴基斯坦陆军元帅阿西姆·穆尼尔和总理谢赫巴兹·谢里夫的要求,我们被要求暂停对伊朗的攻击,直到他们的领导人和代表能够提出统一的方案。” 特朗普表示,美国将继续维持封锁,这表明美国将继续施压,并暗示谈判的前提是伊朗提出明确的谈判立场。 尽管特朗普总统应巴基斯坦的要求推迟了对伊朗的军事行动,但霍尔木兹海峡的持续关闭正在抑制全球石油需求。 盛宝银行分析师表示:“冲突正在抑制供应,需求减少近400万桶/日,甚至可能增至500万桶/日,主要影响亚洲地区。” 供应方面,美国石油协会周二公布的数据显示,截至4月17日当周,美国原油库存减少了440万桶。 目前,石油市场正等待美国能源信息署将于周三发布的石油库存报告。
