-- 週二盤後交易中,原油期貨結算價走高,此前川普總統延長了與伊朗的停火協議,但他仍維持對霍爾木茲海峽和德黑蘭港口的海上封鎖。 近月西德州中質原油期貨上漲3.20%,至每桶90.22美元;布蘭特原油期貨上漲3.90%,至每桶99.14美元。 在與伊朗為期兩週的停火協議將於週三到期前幾個小時,川普在社群媒體上發文稱,他應巴基斯坦調解人的要求延長了停火協議。伊朗官員尚未對此聲明作出回應。 川普表示,停火協議將一直有效,直到伊朗領導層提出永久解決方案。 川普稱伊朗政府“嚴重分裂”,並表示他是應巴基斯坦陸軍元帥阿西姆·穆尼爾和總理謝赫巴茲·謝里夫的要求做出這一決定的。 「……我們被要求暫停對伊朗的攻擊,直到伊朗領導人和代表能夠提出統一的方案,」川普週二在社群媒體上發文表示。 然而,這位美國總統表示,美國將暫停對伊朗的新一輪攻擊,但對霍爾木茲海峽的海上封鎖將繼續,直到「雙方達成一致意見」。 Dan-Bunkering的策略師週二在一份報告中指出,原油市場一直深受新聞動態的影響,預計未來一周仍將如此。 伊朗指責美國違反了在脆弱的停火協議開始時提出的十點框架下的承諾。 週二,伊朗外長阿巴斯·阿拉格奇表示,美國封鎖伊朗港口是“戰爭行為”,因此違反了停火協議。 「封鎖伊朗港口是戰爭行為,因此違反了停火協議,」阿拉格奇在社群媒體X上發文表示。 “襲擊商船並劫持船員更是嚴重的違規行為。” 美國戰爭部(前身為國防部)週二表示,美軍在其破壞伊朗航運網絡的行動中,攔截並登船檢查了一艘受制裁的油輪。 「美軍已在印度洋登船檢查了原油油輪『蒂法尼』號,這似乎是針對與伊朗有關的航運行動的進一步升級,」MarineTraffic在社群媒體X上發文表示。 Kpler策略家表示,儘管海峽的每日通行量略有增加,但仍遠低於正常水準。 「商業活動仍然受到安全風險加劇的限制,包括過去四天內發生的三起新的襲擊事件以及海上掃雷工作的持續不確定性,」分析師表示。
