-- 周五,受强劲的库存数据以及有关伊朗与美国和平谈判取得进展的报道影响,美国天然气期货价格下跌近3%。 近月亨利枢纽天然气期货合约和连续合约均下跌2.54%,至每百万英热单位2.69美元。据Trading Economics的数据显示,基准天然气期货本周累计下跌5.32%。 此前,美国能源信息署(EIA)周四发布的《每周天然气库存报告》显示,截至4月17日当周,天然气库存增加1030亿立方英尺,超出预期,总库存达到20630亿立方英尺。 这一数字高于此前960亿立方英尺的预期,也远高于前一周的590亿立方英尺和去年同期的880亿立方英尺(数据来自Investing.com)。 美国天然气库存目前为1420亿立方英尺(Bcf),比去年同期高出7%;比五年同期平均水平高出1370亿立方英尺,同样高出7%。这样的库存增长对市场而言非常不利。 据Pinebrook Energy Advisors称,本周的天然气注入量是“有史以来同期最高”,他们将此归因于近几周受天气影响需求下降。 然而,近几日天气预报发生了逆转。据美国国家气象局预测,5月1日至7日期间,美国近一半地区的气温将低于正常水平。 在地缘政治方面,据路透社援引三位巴基斯坦官员的消息报道,伊朗外长赛义德·阿巴斯·阿拉格奇正在前往巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡的途中,美国后勤和安全团队已部署到位,为下一轮和平谈判做准备。 虽然双方至今尚未发表任何声明,但这标志着冲突局势在经历了数日不断加剧的不确定性之后,出现了重大降级。
