-- 週四,歐洲天然氣期貨價格下跌,抹去了早盤的漲幅,季節性疲軟的市場動能和需求萎縮開始對市場構成壓力。 荷蘭TTF近月合約下跌0.65%,至每兆瓦時46.56歐元(54.44美元);英國NBP合約下跌0.61%,至每熱量單位115.03便士(1.54美元)。 荷蘭國際集團(ING)分析師表示,季節性因素以及「相當程度的需求萎縮」是造成這一市場趨勢的關鍵因素。他們還指出,由於霍爾木茲海峽關閉,液化天然氣(LNG)市場遭受了巨大衝擊,而目前的歐洲天然氣價格並未反映出這種衝擊的程度。 與此同時,據報道,美國總統唐納德·川普告訴Axios新聞網,他拒絕了伊朗本週早些時候提出的開放海峽的提議,該提議涉及推遲兩國之間的核談判。 川普也表示,對德黑蘭的海上封鎖將持續,直到伊朗政權同意一項能夠解決美國對其核子計畫所有關切的協議。 據Axios引述知情人士消息稱,美國中央司令部也正在準備對伊朗發動「短暫而強力」的打擊,旨在打破目前的僵局。 中央司令部司令布拉德庫柏上將週三也指出,美軍已成功攔截了第42艘試圖違反對伊朗封鎖的船隻。他表示,因此,伊朗政權有「41艘油輪和6,900萬桶石油」無法出售。 儘管如此,具有重要戰略意義的霍爾木茲海峽仍連續第九週關閉,據霍爾木茲海峽監測機構稱,過去24小時內只有13艘船隻通過。 殼牌公司(SHEL)執行長瓦埃勒·薩萬週三在接受彭博社採訪時警告稱,衝突造成的石油和液化天然氣短缺可能會持續數月,甚至可能延續到明年。 澳新銀行高級大宗商品策略師丹尼爾·海恩斯指出,這對歐洲來說將是一個問題,「因為歐洲需要在下一個供暖季之前補充空置的庫存」。 根據歐洲天然氣基礎設施協會的數據,歐洲已開始在庫存水準大幅下降的情況下補充天然氣,目前僅為產能的32.23%,而去年同期為38.96%。
