米国石油最新情報:UAEの歴史的なOPEC離脱を受け、原油価格が4%以上急騰

By

-- 原油先物価格は水曜日、アラブ首長国連邦(UAE)のOPECからの正式脱退の影響をエネルギー市場が吸収したことを受け、4%以上急騰した。 ブレント原油先物価格は5%以上上昇し1バレル116.90ドル、ウエスト・テキサス・インターミディエイト(WTI)原油先物価格は5%上昇し1バレル104.93ドルとなった。 この急騰は、UAEが5月1日付でOPECおよびOPECプラスからの正式脱退を発表し、世界の石油カルテルに歴史的な打撃を与えたことを受けてのものだ。 スハイル・アル・マズルーイ・エネルギー相は、今回の措置は生産割当量を回避して世界の石油備蓄を再構築し、拡大した生産能力を収益化することを目的とした「政策主導の進化」であると明言した。 「UAEのOPEC脱退はOPECにとって大きな打撃だが、供給途絶が続く中で短期的には市場への影響は小さいだろう。イラン戦争後には、原油供給にさらなる上昇余地があるのは明らかだ」とINGのアナリストは述べた。 OPECの構造変化にもかかわらず、価格を左右する主要因は依然としてペルシャ湾の不安定さとホルムズ海峡の情勢である。 トランプ大統領はソーシャルメディアを通じてイラン政権は崩壊寸前で交渉に意欲的だと主張する一方で、側近には長期にわたる海上封鎖に備えるよう指示した。 「原油供給再開の兆しが見られないため、年内の原油価格予測を上方修正した。ICEブレント原油価格は2026年第2四半期に平均104ドル/バレル、第4四半期に平均92ドル/バレルになると予想している」とINGは付け加えた。

Oil prices rallied Wednesday, with Brent approaching $120 per barrel after US President Donald Trump reportedly rejected an Iranian proposal to lift the naval blockade.Brent crude was last up 7.2% at $119.25 per barrel, having traded as high as $119.45 earlier in the day. West Texas Intermediate rose 7% to $106.91.Trump told Axios on Wednesday he will maintain the US naval blockade of Iranian ports until Tehran agrees to a nuclear deal. Iran wanted the Strait of Hormuz opened before the two sides could sit down to discuss uranium enrichment at a later stage.In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump said Iran "better get smart soon."A senior Iranian security source told state media Press TV that the US naval blockade will soon be met with "practical and unprecedented action."The rhetoric comes amid stalled peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran, though their ceasefire agreement appears to be holding. A separate truce deal is in place between Israel and Lebanon.Pakistani mediators expect a revised proposal from Iran by Friday, CNN reported."Crude oil has resumed its war-driven rally, with Brent rising almost non-stop since a brief mid-month tumble to ($86 per barrel), when hopes for a peace deal and a short-lived reopening of the Strait of Hormuz triggered a sharp but temporary correction," Saxo Bank Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen said in a report Wednesday.Besides the Iran war, markets are assessing the implication of the United Arab Emirates' decision to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.The move marks a "major strategic shift (for the UAE), freeing it from production quotas that for years limited its ability to fully utilize expanding capacity," Hansen said.The UAE is set to increase oil production after walking away from oil cartel OPEC, ING Bank said in a report Wednesday."However, before this can be tapped, there must be a resolution in the Persian Gulf that allows for uninhibited energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz once again," ING said. "Therefore, in the short term, this development has little impact on the market. But in the medium to longer term, it means more supply for the market."

Pentair Stock Decline on Potential Inventory Destocking 'Overdone,' RBC Says

Pentair (PNR) shares fell 10% following the company's Q1 earnings report on Tuesday but the sell off, tied to warnings of a potential inventory destocking, was "overdone," RBC Capital Markets said.During the company's earnings call, Pentair disclosed expectations for its Pool channel partners to execute an inventory reduction in Q2 and Q3, which stems from a lowered industry volume forecast, especially for high-end discretionary products, the RBC analysts said. Pentair explained that recent price actions had prompted distributors to stock up, the analysts said.The stock price decline was also driven by H2-weighted guidance and concerns over residential and consumer spending, according to the note.However, Pentair continues its strong execution on productivity initiatives, margin improvement, and new product introductions, fueling a streak of 16 consecutive quarters of margin expansion, the analysts noted. They said that they have not observed any execution issues or missteps.RBC maintained the company's stock rating at outperform and lowered the price target to $101 from $107.Price: $81.36, Change: $-1.50, Percent Change: -1.81%
