-- 週三,主要生物燃料原料期貨價格小幅上漲,主要受原油價格上漲和天氣相關的供應風險提振。 芝加哥期貨交易所5月大豆期貨合約上漲0.38%,至每蒲式耳11.79美元。該合約早盤一度觸及近六週高位,此前市場預期本週晚些時候美國中西部地區將有降雨,提振了市場情緒。 農業數據顯示,截至4月19日,美國大豆種植進度已達12%,高於上一季的7%及五年平均5%。 根據Trading Economics報告,在南美洲,巴西的大豆收割工作已接近尾聲,但阿根廷的收割進度受到天氣影響。 同樣,受強勁的能源市場和不斷增長的生物燃料需求支撐,5月豆油期貨合約小幅上漲0.47%,至每磅72.48美分。 據農業數據提供商DTN稱,今年美國用於生物燃料生產的大豆油需求量可能增加250萬磅。 DTN在談到伊朗戰爭時表示,價格方面,“和平談判的結果以及5月份的美中會晤可能會決定未來的走向”,並補充說,強勁的壓榨利潤率也將帶來進一步的上漲空間。 根據分析機構OleoScope引述預測公司Oil World的數據,全球大豆需求預計將保持強勁,本銷售年度的大豆加工量可能達到創紀錄的1.003億噸。 在亞洲,受大豆油價格上漲、印尼B50生質柴油計畫推進以及厄爾尼諾現象可能導致減產等因素的推動,馬來西亞棕櫚油期貨週三連續第三個交易日上漲。 馬來西亞衍生性商品交易所5月交割的原棕櫚油合約上漲1.29%,至每噸4,549馬來西亞林吉特(1,150.63美元)。 6月交割的合約上漲1.41%,至每噸4,599林吉特。 在印度尼西亞,棕櫚油生物柴油的使用範圍將從7月1日起擴大,屆時棕櫚油與生質柴油的摻混比例將從目前的40%提高到50%。 根據安塔拉通訊社報道,能源和礦產資源部部長埃尼亞·利斯蒂亞尼·德維表示,B50生物柴油的初步測試結果顯示,該燃料符合相關規格。 預計交通運輸業的道路測試和發動機檢驗將於6月完成。 據報道,隨著B50生質柴油的實施,印尼將停止進口傳統柴油,每年可減少約400萬千升化石燃料的消耗。據德維(Dewi)稱,目前的B40計劃已使柴油採購量減少了330萬千升。 印尼生物燃料需求的成長將減少棕櫚油的出口供應,這可能會提振馬來西亞的出口市場。 據報道,貨運調查員估計,4月前20天馬來西亞的貨物運輸量較上月下降了25.6%至25.8%。 根據價格報告機構Fastmarkets的分析,4月上半月,出口量較上月下降324,724公噸至580,018公噸,主要原因是向中東的出口量減少了114,650公噸。 根據《馬來西亞邊緣報》(The Edge Malaysia)報道,馬來西亞對外貿易發展公司主席里扎爾·梅里坎·奈納·梅里坎(Reezal Merican Naina Merican)表示,地緣政治緊張局勢對馬來西亞的出口市場造成了壓力,尤其是來自伊朗的需求疲軟。 據報道,美利堅合眾國(Merican)稱,第一季馬來西亞向伊朗出口的棕櫚油及棕櫚製品價值年比暴跌86.1%,至9,000萬林吉特。 根據Fastmarkets的數據,伊朗在4月上半月沒有從馬來西亞進口任何棕櫚油。 根據《今日商業》(Business Today)引述BMI Research的報告稱,未來棕櫚油價格走勢將受能源市場發展和供應基本面的影響。 儘管產量在季節性低谷後可能會回升,但5月至10月間出現的厄爾尼諾現象構成了棕櫚油價格上漲的主要風險。 據報道,BMI預計,假設中東衝突緩和,第二季棕櫚油價格將回落至每噸4200林吉特左右,並預計全年平均價格為每噸4300林吉特。 週二,美國紐約商品交易所 (NYMEX) 5 月交割的乙醇期貨價格再上漲 0.26%,至每加侖 1.90 美元,市場正等待週三公佈的每週產量、庫存和出口數據。
