美國天然氣期貨價格在疲軟的交易中小幅走低

-- 週五午盤交易清淡,美國天然氣期貨價格小幅走低,原因是庫存數據基本上符合預期,且在供應充足的情況下,淡季需求依然疲軟。 近月亨利樞紐天然氣合約和連續合約均下跌0.56%,至每百萬英熱單位2.66美元。 早盤,價格一度觸及八個月低點2.63美元/百萬英熱單位,隨後回升。 Gelber and Associates的分析師表示,主要驅動因素仍是天氣相關需求的減弱,氣溫升高導致居民和商業用氣量下降。不過,出口需求提供了一定的支撐,對墨西哥的天然氣流量維持在74億立方英尺/日,液化天然氣原料氣接近202億立方英尺/日。 該公司補充說,天然氣產量反彈至1,093億立方英尺/日,加拿大進口量維持穩定在51億立方英尺/日,總供應量達1,144億立方英尺/日,國內市場供應充足。 週四,美國能源資訊署(EIA)公佈,截至4月3日當週,天然氣庫存增加了500億立方英尺(Bcf)。這一增幅超過了前一周的360億立方英尺,但低於去年同期的570億立方英尺。根據Investing.com彙編的數據,這一數字也高於市場預期的410億立方英尺增幅。 儘管增幅超出預期,但《能源買家指南》指出,該報告未能為價格提供新的方向性動力。指南指出,下週的數據可能顯示增幅略有下降,但隨後幾週增幅將會加速。 「除非天氣狀況不再那麼不利,或者供應再次下滑,否則亨利樞紐天然氣價格更有可能繼續受疲軟的春季基本面影響,而不是出現更廣泛的上漲行情,」Gelber and Associates表示。
