美國油價動態:中東衝突掩蓋阿聯酋退出歐佩克的影響,原油價格飆升

By

-- 週二午盤交易中,原油期貨價格上漲,中東軍事對峙和霍爾木茲海峽封鎖的影響蓋過了阿聯酋退出歐佩克及其「歐佩克+」聯盟帶來的衝擊。 近月西德州中質原油期貨上漲4.11%,至每桶100.58美元;布蘭特原油期貨上漲2.65%,至每桶111.07美元。 盛寶銀行策略師週二在報告中指出,美伊和平談判仍處於僵局,重啟談判的努力陷入停滯。 週二,川普總統在社群媒體上發文稱,伊朗希望美國解除霍爾木茲海峽的封鎖,盡快重新開放這條戰略水道。 另一方面,據媒體報道,伊朗已表示可能願意接受一項臨時協議,以重新開放海峽為條件換取美國解除封鎖。 美國和伊朗對霍爾木茲海峽的雙重封鎖已導致船舶通行幾乎停滯,原油、天然氣和石油產品的運輸受到嚴重阻礙。 美國中央司令部週二在X網站上發布消息稱,美國海軍陸戰隊登上了一艘在阿拉伯海的商船,並在確認貨櫃船不會停靠伊朗港口後將其釋放。 三菱日聯銀行(MUFG)研究分析師金秀珍(Soojin Kim)表示,由於市場正在評估伊朗重啟和平談判的最新提議,而霍爾木茲海峽的交通中斷持續限制全球能源供應,原油價格小幅上漲。 Kpler的最新數據顯示,只有六艘船舶通過霍爾木茲海峽,比前一天增加兩艘,所有船舶均自西向東航行,商業和非商業活動各佔一半。 這家航運數據公司表示,由於伊朗提出了新的談判方案,這條戰略水道的通行仍然存在不確定性,每日通行數量的小幅增長表明各方仍持謹慎態度,而非交通流量的實質性復甦。 根據Marine Traffic數據顯示,日本超大型原油運輸船「出光丸號」已完成經由霍爾木茲海峽的航行,船上載有200萬桶原油,這些原油於3月初從沙烏地阿拉伯朱艾邁碼頭裝載。 同時,阿聯酋將於5月1日退出歐佩克,這對這個產油國集團來說是一個重大打擊,因為全球能源市場正努力應對中東衝突造成的巨大供應中斷。 斯巴達商品公司分析師尼爾克羅斯比表示,阿聯酋的退出使歐佩克集團的長期凝聚力再次受到質疑,儘管對全球石油平衡的直接影響仍然有限。 這位分析師告訴,短期內,由於霍爾木茲海峽關閉,這對石油平衡的影響微乎其微。他補充說,如果歐佩克+集團恢復其在市場上的先前角色,那麼其長期影響將會更大。

Research Alert: Visa Mar-q: A Blowout Quarter As Consumer Spending Accelerates

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Visa posted excellent Mar-Q results with adj. EPS of $3.31 vs. $2.76 a year ago, beating consensus by $0.21. Revenue of $11.2B rose 17% Y/Y, beating consensus by 4% and marking the strongest growth since 2022. We view this as an excellent result, as concerns surrounding AI disruption or geopolitical uncertainty did not manifest in Visa's performance. Adjusted operating margin held firm at 68.0%, a good result given prior guidance indicated likely margin compression. Strong performance was broad based with data processing revenue up 18% to $5.5B and other revenue surging 41% to $1.3B, reflecting successful expansion in value-added services. Cross-border volume excluding intra-Europe advanced 11% on a constant currency (CC) basis while payments volume grew 9%. Geographic strength was led by LAC (+14% CC), CEMEA (+13% CC), and Europe (+11% CC), with encouraging acceleration in the U.S. to 8%. We applaud the board's authorization of a new $20B multi-year share repurchase program given Visa's muted valuation.
