-- 在週三盤後交易中,原油期貨價格變動不大,市場正在權衡美伊和平談判的前景,這場中東衝突已導致至關重要的霍爾木茲海峽的航運幾乎停滯。 近月西德州中質原油期貨下跌0.12%,至每桶91.39美元;布蘭特原油期貨上漲0.12%,至每桶94.91美元。 盛寶銀行策略師表示,美國和伊朗正準備在未來幾天舉行第二輪和平談判,據報道,德黑蘭正在考慮暫停通過霍爾木茲海峽的原油運輸,以促進談判。 美國能源資訊署週三發布的周報顯示,截至4月10日當週,美國原油庫存減少90萬桶,至4.638億桶。 該機構表示,汽油總庫存較上週減少630萬桶至2.329億桶,餾分油庫存減少310萬桶至1.116億桶。 據報道,美國和伊朗正在考慮將下週二到期的停火協議再延長兩週,以便有更多時間進行和平談判。然而,美國財政部週二表示,美國不會續簽允許臨時出售部分俄羅斯和伊朗原油的通用許可證。 財政部在社交媒體X上發帖稱:“允許出售已滯留在海上的伊朗石油的短期授權將在幾天后到期,不會續簽。” 財政部於3月20日發布的這項豁免允許約1.4億桶已在海上的伊朗原油運抵買家,主要銷往亞洲。 據媒體報道,巴基斯坦陸軍參謀長阿西姆·穆尼爾週三抵達德黑蘭,就緩和中東緊張局勢和安排美伊第二輪和平談判進行諮詢。 據報道,川普總統也對與伊朗達成結束目前因兩週停火而暫停的衝突的潛在協議表示樂觀。 SEB Research的大宗商品分析師奧勒·R·赫瓦爾比表示,市場將這些外交進展解讀為局勢實質降級的訊號,這自然導致原油期貨價格下跌。 同時,美國中央司令部表示,其對霍爾木茲海峽的封鎖現已全面生效,徹底切斷了德黑蘭的國際海上貿易,而海上貿易約佔伊朗經濟的90%。 據媒體報道,受美國制裁的中國油輪「富星號」(Rich Starry)在周三離開阿拉伯灣後,於週三返回霍爾木茲海峽。 同時,MarineTraffic週四表示,懸掛馬耳他國旗的原油油輪「Agios Fanourios I」號成為自美國封鎖生效以來首艘通過霍爾木茲海峽的原油運輸船。 Rystad Energy供應鏈研究高級分析師Karan Satwani表示,停火協議仍在持續影響霍爾木茲海峽的航運環境,同時,航運中斷和潛在封鎖的風險仍然存在。
