-- 周三，原油价格大幅上涨，布伦特原油价格触及一个月高位，此前有报道称美国计划延长对伊朗港口的封锁。 布伦特原油价格最新上涨3.2%，至每桶114.76美元；西德克萨斯中质原油价格上涨3.5%，至每桶103.40美元。路透社周三援引《华尔街日报》报道称，美国总统特朗普已指示助手做好延长封锁的准备。 报道称，尽管伊朗战争已停火，但由于结束战争的谈判陷入僵局，此举将延长中东地区的供应中断。 路透社援引海通期货分析师杨安的话说：“近期油价上涨是由霍尔木兹海峡封锁推动的。如果特朗普准备延长封锁，供应中断将进一步恶化，并继续推高油价。” 报告指出，投资者也在消化阿联酋宣布退出石油输出国组织（欧佩克）对市场的影响。不过，分析师认为目前短期内不会产生重大影响。 路透社援引澳新银行研究报告称：“阿联酋退出欧佩克+正式表明了该组织内部凝聚力的减弱，但短期影响有限。此举反映了长期存在的配额紧张局势，但油价的驱动因素仍然更多地是地缘政治、库存和物流，而非制度变革。”
