-- 周五盘后交易中,美国天然气期货价格走高,受部分地区气温预报转暖,市场预期制冷需求将增强的提振,但不断上升的库存继续限制了涨幅。 亨利枢纽天然气近月合约和连续合约均上涨1.06%,至每百万英热单位2.675美元。 价格受到4月下旬夏季天气预报的支撑。商品天气集团(Commodity Weather Group)预计,4月22日至26日,美国东南部和中西部地区的气温将高于平均水平,Barchart表示,这一变化可能会提振发电厂的制冷需求。在此之前,NatGasWeather.com预测,随着冷空气进入北部地区,供暖需求将保持温和,最低气温将在华氏20至30度之间。 供应侧因素也对价格构成支撑。 Trading Economics表示,过去四天,美国天然气产量下降了约32亿立方英尺/日,至1080亿立方英尺/日,创10周新低,其中路易斯安那州和俄亥俄州的产量降幅最为显著。 与此同时,该公司表示,出口需求依然强劲。4月份迄今为止,液化天然气原料气平均交付量为189亿立方英尺/日,高于3月份的186亿立方英尺/日,这有助于抵消国内消费疲软的影响。 Barchart援引彭博新能源财经(BNEF)的数据称,截至周五,美国天然气总需求估计为683亿立方英尺/日,同比下降0.6%。Rystad表示,其中,工业需求较一个月前下降了39亿立方英尺/日,而燃气发电量则略有下降,符合典型的淡季趋势。 当天早些时候,受霍尔木兹海峡重新开放的消息影响,天然气价格出现短暂波动。美国天然气期货价格一度跌至每百万英热单位2.623美元,随后反弹。 尽管如此,充足的库存限制了价格上涨空间。美国能源信息署(EIA)报告称,截至4月10日当周,天然气库存增加了590亿立方英尺,高于预期,也远高于去年同期增幅和五年平均水平。库存增幅超出预期反映了温和的天气和疲软的供暖需求。 “支撑价格底部的更多是出口需求,而非国内天气,”Gelber & Associates表示。“除非降温风险显著扩大,否则市场走势仍将面临库存宽松和未来一段时间内天气预报趋于中性的压力。”
