-- 周五，油价回落，此前有报道称，伊朗周四晚间通过巴基斯坦向美国递交了一份新的提案。 布伦特原油期货合约下跌0.3%，至每桶110.05美元。西德克萨斯中质原油期货下跌1.9%，至每桶103.10美元。 据伊朗国家通讯社伊通社（IRNA）报道，这份最新提案据称已于周四晚间通过巴基斯坦调解人递交给美国官员。 然而，由于伊朗与美国之间持续的双重封锁，原油价格仍有望实现周线上涨。 支撑油价的因素：“美伊协议的迹象有限，因为美国加倍实施封锁，而伊朗新任最高领袖穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊罕见地发表声明，誓言不会放弃伊朗的核技术和导弹技术，这令人对达成协议的可能性表示怀疑。”盛宝银行分析师表示。 德国商业银行分析师补充说：“市场关注的焦点是伊朗战争何时结束以及霍尔木兹海峡何时重新开放。但这场战争也可能产生重大的长期后果——类似于上世纪70年代的石油价格冲击。”

In a Thursday note, S&P Global analysts said Europe has benefited from "significant demand destruction elsewhere," noting that although the war has effectively removed about 20% of global LNG supply, European imports have remained broadly steady.The note said Asia has absorbed much of the demand adjustment. It said China recorded a 19% year-on-year drop in LNG imports in March, according to government data.Benchmark LNG prices remain elevated, but off recent highs, they said. The JKM benchmark for Northeast Asia put prices at $18.309/MMBtu on April 30, up 8.3% on the day.
