-- 在週三午盤交易中,原油期貨價格飆升,延續了前一交易日的漲勢,因為美伊對峙加劇了人們對中東供應進一步中斷的擔憂。 近月西德州中質原油期貨價格上漲7.05%,至每桶107.02美元;布蘭特原油期貨價格飆漲7.33%,至每桶119.41美元。 美國能源資訊署(EIA)週三發布的周報顯示,截至4月24日當週,美國原油庫存減少620萬桶,至4.595億桶,供應趨緊的跡象顯現。 EIA表示,目前原油庫存比五年同期平均高出約1%。 盛寶銀行策略師表示,在當前這場戰爭引發的周期中,原油價格飆升至歷史新高,霍爾木茲海峽的近乎關閉加劇了供應中斷,導致全球能源市場趨緊。據報道,川普總統正在考慮延長美國對伊朗港口的海上封鎖,因為與恢復敵對行動或退出中東衝突相比,延長封鎖對華盛頓的風險較小。中東衝突已經擾亂了全球能源市場。 川普週三威脅伊朗,稱該國「最好盡快醒悟」。他在Truth Social網站上發文表示:“伊朗無法團結一致。他們不知道如何簽署無核協議。他們最好盡快醒悟!” 三菱日聯金融集團(MUFG)研究分析師金秀珍(Soojin Kim)表示,儘管川普稱伊朗在談判期間要求解除封鎖,但有報導稱,美國正在為長期封鎖伊朗港口做準備。 在供應方面,美國總統已向美國能源公司詢問如何減輕可能持續數月的伊朗港口封鎖的影響,這引發了人們對中東供應中斷可能長期存在的擔憂。 美國海上封鎖似乎正在給伊朗施加壓力,有報告指出伊朗原油儲存空間即將耗盡,這可能會加速其減產。 美國財政部長貝森特表示,伊朗的主要石油出口碼頭哈爾格島的儲存能力已接近飽和,這可能迫使伊朗政府減少原油產量,並對伊朗的石油基礎設施造成損害。 金表示:“伊朗還面臨日益嚴峻的儲存限制,這可能迫使其進一步減產,與此同時,美國正繼續收緊對與伊朗石油相關的中國煉油商的製裁。” 同時,市場參與者仍在評估伊朗下個月退出歐佩克這項令人震驚的決定所帶來的影響。荷蘭國際集團(ING)的策略師表示,在供應嚴重中斷的時期退出歐佩克限制了對市場的影響。 分析師表示:“因此,短期內,這一事態發展對市場影響甚微。但從中長期來看,這意味著市場供應將更加充足。”
