美国天然气最新动态:受中东和平进程影响,天然气期货价格与原油价格同步下跌

By

-- 周三,美国天然气期货价格下跌,跟随原油价格的跌势。此前有报道称,伊朗正在重新评估一项由美国支持的和平方案,该方案有望缓解霍尔木兹海峡的紧张局势,并恢复全球关键的航运通道。 亨利枢纽天然气期货近月合约和连续合约均下跌2.33%,至每百万英热单位2.724美元。 分析师表示,此次下跌主要是由于油价下跌以及近期受天气影响而导致的天然气需求疲软。 “市场似乎受到了油价大幅下跌的溢出效应影响,而天气因素几乎没有提供任何支撑,”里特布施咨询公司(Ritterbusch & Associates)在一份被《华尔街日报》引用的报告中指出。 霍尔木兹海峡仍然是一个重要的地缘政治焦点,任何局势缓和都被视为有可能恢复液化天然气(LNG)向亚洲买家的稳定供应,而亚洲买家占全球LNG需求的很大一部分。 美国国内方面,基本面总体保持稳定。 NRG Energy表示,预计天然气日产量将维持在1073亿立方英尺左右,与近期水平大致持平,略高于4月份的平均水平。 需求趋势喜忧参半。据Aegis Hedging的数据显示,居民和商业用气量增长了25亿立方英尺/日,抵消了电力消耗需求下降14亿立方英尺/日的影响。 展望未来,天气模型显示,中西部地区短期内气温将有所下降,随后下周西部地区气温将高于正常水平,这可能会支撑本月晚些时候的制冷需求。Ritterbusch表示,如果气温升高的天气出现,未来一到两个月的价格仍有上涨风险。 在周四政府报告发布之前,市场对天然气库存的预期仍然备受关注。NRG Energy表示,预计截至5月1日当周的天然气库存增幅为700亿立方英尺,低于去年同期水平和五年平均水平。即便如此,预计库存仍将比季节性正常水平高出约7%。 NRG公司表示,目前液化天然气出口需求疲软,预计原料气流量约为170亿立方英尺/日。由于科珀斯克里斯蒂和卡梅伦工厂进行维护,产量下降,对出口造成压力,限制了短期内价格的支撑。

New Home Listings Growth Outpaces Sales For First Time in 2026, Zillow Says

New for-sale home listings in the US grew at a faster rate annually than sales for the first time this year as elevated mortgage rates stalled recovery, Zillow Group (Z, ZG) said Wednesday.New listings rose 2.1% year over year to 426,356 units in April, while sales eased 0.4% to 323,631 units, according to the real estate marketplace. Active inventory increased 3.7% last month, putting the total number of for-sale homes at 1.3 million."The spring rebound we anticipated at the start of the year and that produced the stronger sales figures in March was put on pause in April by higher rates," Zillow Chief Economist Mischa Fisher said. "Still, someone who held off in 2025 hoping conditions would improve has seen that improvement."Last week, the average interest rate for 30-year fixed mortgages with conforming loan balances of $832,750 or less increased to 6.45% from 6.37% sequentially, a report by the Mortgage Bankers Association showed Wednesday.The monthly mortgage payment on a typical home in the US dropped 3.4% annually to $1,829 last month, while home values rose 0.7% to $366,712, Zillow said.The share of listings with a price reduction was 23.5% in April, down one percentage point from a year earlier, but up 0.9 percentage point sequentially.Despite the recent rise in mortgage rates, buyers who waited out the market of 2025 are entering on slightly better terms this spring, with more options, improved affordability and a little more decision time, according to Zillow."With more homes to choose from and lower monthly costs than a year ago, the math has shifted in favor of buyers even if the moment may not feel like it," Fisher said. "There's still plenty of reason for optimism that we will see a quick rebound if rates cooperate."On Tuesday, government data showed that new-home sales in the US grew past Wall Street's estimates for March, driven by a demand surge in the Northeast region.Price: $44.82, Change: $+1.28, Percent Change: +2.94%
