歐洲、中東和非洲天然氣市場最新動態:川普和伊朗宣布霍爾木茲海峽開放後,天然氣期貨下跌逾8%。

-- 週五,美國總統川普和伊朗宣布霍爾木茲海峽重新開放後,歐洲天然氣期貨價格暴跌逾8%。 荷蘭TTF近月合約下跌8.79%,至每兆瓦時38.69歐元(45.81美元);英國NBP期貨下跌8.45%,至每熱量單位97.20便士(1.42美元)。 根據Trading Economics的數據顯示,這兩個基準天然氣期貨均連續第二週下跌,荷蘭TTF期貨季減10.78%,英國天然氣期貨較上季下跌10.98%。 川普週五在Truth Social網站上發文稱,伊朗剛剛宣布,這條具有重要戰略意義的海峽(通常佔全球液化天然氣流量的20%)現已開放,「準備全面通行」。 伊朗外交部長賽義德·阿巴斯·阿拉格奇在X網站上發文證實了這一消息,稱霍爾木茲海峽「完全開放」。但他指出,這僅限於“剩餘的停火期”,停火期將於週二結束,除非再次延長。 在周五晚些時候開放之前,霍爾木茲海峽的交通已連續第七週十分稀少,據霍爾木茲海峽監測機構稱,過去24小時內僅有8艘船隻通過。 國際能源總署署長法提赫·比羅爾警告說,即使霍爾木茲海峽完全重新開放,並且無限期開放,中東地區的能源產量也至少需要兩年時間才能恢復正常。 比羅爾週五在接受《新蘇黎世報》採訪時表示,不同國家的情況會有所不同,「例如,伊拉克需要的時間將比沙烏地阿拉伯長得多。」歐洲天然氣市場正處於艱難時期,據歐洲天然氣基礎設施協會(Gas Infrastructure Europe)的數據顯示,目前庫存水準僅為總產能的29.56%,而去年同期為35.97%。 幸運的是,根據歐盟極端天氣預報中心(Severe-Weather EU)預測,受全球暖化趨勢和潛在超級厄爾尼諾現象的影響,歐洲今年夏季的氣溫預計將高於往年平均水平,從而降低取暖天然氣的需求。超級厄爾尼諾現象通常會推高氣溫,因此歐洲今天夏季的氣溫預計會高於往年平均值。
