-- 週三盤後交易中,歐洲、中東和非洲地區原油期貨價格上漲,市場權衡了美國海軍對伊朗港口和霍爾木茲海峽的封鎖與美伊重啟第二輪中東衝突和平談判的努力。 布蘭特原油期貨上漲1.09%,至每桶95.75美元;穆爾班原油期貨上漲0.73%,至每桶101.59美元。 三菱日聯金融集團(MUFG)研究分析師金秀珍(Soojin Kim)表示,儘管封鎖仍在持續,但隨著和平談判的臨近,油價趨於穩定。市場在美伊重啟和平談判的希望與持續的供應中斷之間尋求平衡。 據報道,川普總統表示,中東衝突“即將結束”,並指出與伊朗的談判可能“在未來兩天”在巴基斯坦伊斯蘭堡舉行。 據報道,曾斡旋上一輪美伊會談的巴基斯坦陸軍元帥阿西姆·穆尼爾也於週四抵達德黑蘭,此行旨在縮小雙方分歧。 SEB Research的大宗商品分析師奧勒·R·赫瓦爾比表示,市場將此次外交進展解讀為局勢實質緩和的訊號,自然導致原油期貨價格下跌。 在美伊會談重啟之際,美國中央司令部仍在封鎖伊朗港口和霍爾木茲海峽。美國海軍表示,封鎖已全面生效,「徹底」切斷了德黑蘭的國際海上貿易,而海上貿易約佔伊朗經濟的90%。 美國中央司令部在社群媒體X上發文表示:「美國封鎖了進出伊朗港口的船隻,沒有船隻能夠突破美軍封鎖。」該司令部還補充說,已有九艘船隻遵照其指示返回伊朗港口。 據媒體報道,受美國制裁的中國油輪“Rich Starry”號於週三返回霍爾木茲海峽,此前一天它離開了阿拉伯灣。 同時,MarineTraffic週四表示,懸掛馬耳他國旗的原油油輪「Agios Fanourios I」號成為自美國封鎖生效以來首艘通過霍爾木茲海峽的原油運輸船。 「我們的基本假設是,霍爾木茲海峽在5月中旬全面重新開放之前,其通行能力僅為正常水平的20%,並且阿拉伯灣不會再有其他重要的石油或天然氣基礎設施遭到破壞,」Hvalbye表示。 在成品油方面,國際能源總署週二表示,中東衝突將導致2026年石油需求成長停滯,這將是自新冠疫情爆發以來的首次年度下降。 國際能源總署預計,今年全球石油需求將減少8萬桶/日,比該機構先前預測的增加64萬桶/日減少了73萬桶/日。 美國能源資訊署週三發布的周報顯示,截至4月10日當週,美國原油庫存減少90萬桶至4.638億桶,提振了市場看漲情緒。

New Zealand Reviews Transport Rules to Improve Fuel Security
The New Zealand Government said it is preparing to remove or suspend regulatory barriers that make it harder for businesses and communities to cope with global fuel shocks, according to a Monday statement from Minister for Regulation David Seymour and Minister for Transport Chris Bishop.The government is exploring several policy shifts, including allowing some heavy vehicles to carry more weight per trip, and bringing some license class weight thresholds for zero-emission vehicles in line with similar diesel vehicles.The government is also considering relaxing time and access restrictions for over-dimension vehicles and removing some restrictions on the routes that over-dimension vehicles can use and when they can travel.Seymour said that the Government intends to avoid a lockdown situation due to the oil shock and remain in the first phase of the National Fuel Response Plan for as long as possible.The statement said that the government is considering all options so they can be implemented quickly if New Zealand moves to phase two, and they expect options to be ready by the end of April if needed.In case the move to the second phase becomes less likely, some options could be reworked into more permanent changes to reduce the impact of elevated fuel prices on the economy over the medium to long-term, the statement added.
