-- 周一,欧洲天然气期货价格下跌,此前有报道称伊朗向美国提出了一项旨在结束外交僵局的新方案。 荷兰TTF天然气近月合约下跌1.16%,至每兆瓦时44.34欧元(52.11美元);英国NBP基准天然气价格下跌0.95%,至每热量单位109.53便士(1.48美元)。 根据伊朗最新提出的方案,德黑兰将重新开放霍尔木兹海峡,并结束中东地区的敌对行动。据Axios援引一位美国官员和其他知情人士的消息报道,伊朗核计划的谈判将被推迟到以后进行。 该方案由伊朗外长赛义德·阿巴斯·阿拉格奇周末访问巴基斯坦期间提出,随后转交给了美国。目前尚不清楚美国总统唐纳德·特朗普是否愿意考虑该方案。 与此同时,据霍尔木兹海峡监测机构称,占全球液化天然气(LNG)运输量五分之一的霍尔木兹海峡已连续第九周处于实际上的关闭状态。不过,过去24小时内,海峡交通量有所回升,共有19艘船舶通过。 澳新银行(ANZ)高级大宗商品策略师丹尼尔·海恩斯表示,随着霍尔木兹海峡持续关闭,越来越多的买家正转向现货市场以“补充国内供应”。 海恩斯还指出,由于澳大利亚伊克西斯液化天然气工厂可能发生罢工,供应形势可能会进一步恶化。 国际能源署周五警告称,卡塔尔基础设施受损可能导致液化天然气(LNG)产能扩张至少延迟两年,并造成2026年至2030年间累计损失1200亿立方米潜在供应量。 与此同时,欧洲天然气库存仍然处于低位,根据欧洲天然气基础设施协会(Gas Infrastructure Europe)的数据,目前库存仅为产能的31.47%,而去年同期为38.14%。
