-- 週四早盤,歐洲天然氣期貨小幅下跌,此前週三一度暴跌9%,原因是有新聞報道稱,美國和伊朗可能即將就結束兩個多月衝突的方案達成協議。 荷蘭TTF天然氣期貨下跌0.1%,至每桶43.90歐元(51.67美元);英國NBP天然氣期貨下跌0.04%,至每桶107.53便士(1.46美元)。 儘管週三的暴跌發生在伊朗尚未承認任何此類框架的情況下,但伊朗在周三晚些時候表示,正在審查美國提出的旨在結束這場衝突的方案。這場衝突已導致全球能源市場損失了約20%的石油和天然氣供應。 澳新銀行高級大宗商品分析師丹尼爾·海恩斯指出,一些歐洲交易員仍在對沖明年冬季價格飆升的風險,因為補充庫存的工作才剛剛開始,而且看起來十分艱鉅,亞洲進口商目前已難以進口足夠的天然氣來滿足眼前的需求。 儘管Axios週三的報導提到白宮對達成持久和平協議的前景持樂觀態度,但美國總統川普在社群媒體上警告稱,如果無法達成協議,將採取打擊行動,這至少讓人對雙方究竟有多少共同點產生了一些懷疑。 根據歐洲天然氣基礎設施協會(Gas Infrastructure Europe)的數據,歐盟天然氣庫存水準週三為總容量的34.07%,遠低於一年前的41.4%。
