-- 週五,全球原油基準價格下跌超過10%,跌破每桶90美元。此前,伊朗財政部長在X平台上發文稱,霍爾木茲海峽對商船“完全開放”,直至停火結束。 近月西德州中質原油期貨下跌10.6%,至每桶84.78美元;布蘭特原油期貨暴跌10%,至每桶89.89美元。 伊朗外交部長賽義德·阿巴斯·阿拉格奇在X平台上表示,在伊朗和美國停火協議的剩餘時間內,霍爾木茲海峽對商船完全開放。該停火協議將於週二結束。 阿拉格奇在貼文中寫道:“根據黎巴嫩停火協議,所有商船均可在停火協議剩餘時間內通過霍爾木茲海峽,按照伊朗伊斯蘭共和國港口和海事組織此前公佈的協調航線通行。” 然而,在伊朗宣布暫時重新開放霍爾木茲海峽後,川普週五表示,美國將繼續封鎖伊朗港口,阻止船隻進出。 「霍爾木茲海峽已完全開放,隨時可以通行,但針對伊朗的海上封鎖將繼續有效,直至我們與伊朗的交易100%完成,」他在Truth Social網站上寫道。 儘管外交上出現了樂觀情緒,以色列和黎巴嫩也達成了新的10天停火協議,但據報道,國際能源署警告稱,如果中東航運封鎖持續下去,歐洲將在六週內面臨航空燃油價格暴跌。 儘管有關達成協議的傳言四起,但霍爾木茲海峽的關閉已導致海上原油滯留量超過戰前平均水平。 西太平洋銀行大宗商品和碳研究主管羅伯特·雷尼表示:“即使外交進展將原油基準價格限制在每桶95至100美元的區間,但實際原油供應緊張的局面依然十分嚴峻。” 羅伯特補充說:“只要霍爾木茲海峽的原油流量持續受限,實體經濟燃料價格就可能繼續面臨上漲壓力。”

Global Power Solutions (PWER.V) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with 2782404 AB LTD to evaluate the potential development of a modular hydrogen-powered energy project, it said Monday.The parties, under the terms of the LOI, will undertake a technical, commercial, and regulatory feasibility review to evaluate the potential development of one or more modular facilities with a potential aggregate capacity of up to about 100 megawatts. The proposed project, if advanced following feasibility review and definitive agreements, could be developed in phased stages."This LOI represents an opportunity to evaluate a potential application of modular hydrogen-powered energy systems within a decentralized generation framework," said Global Power Solutions Chief Executive Peter Medved.
