麥格理表示,儘管停火協議“脆弱”,但石油供應中斷問題仍然存在,和平協議或將導致油價下跌。

-- 麥格理策略師在周三的報告中指出,美伊衝突中潛在的和平局面可能會壓低油價,並使英鎊成為最具吸引力的交易機會。 麥格理表示,儘管近期市場有所上漲,但美伊停火協議仍然脆弱,石油運輸仍受到封鎖和霍爾木茲海峽緊張局勢的阻礙,如果談判失敗,則存在衝突再度爆發的風險。 策略師表示:“停火本身並未緩解石油運輸受阻的問題。事實上,美國的封鎖反而加劇了這個問題。” 麥格理表示,如果和平局面出現,油價走軟,可能會逆轉近期各國央行鷹派立場的轉變。 該公司強調,英國央行最容易受到這種轉變的影響,如果和平局面最終實現,該公司傾向於獲得9至12個月期的英鎊隔夜指數掉期或英鎊倫敦銀行間同業拆借利率頭寸。 麥格理表示,交易員們正在權衡局勢升級和降級兩種可能性,因為有關美伊重啟談判的報道提振了市場情緒,即使是暫時延長停火協議也被認為可以降低衝突擴大的風險。 麥格理補充道,受和平前景樂觀情緒的影響,油價下跌,股市上漲,但美國在該地區的持續軍事部署限制了原油價格的進一步下跌,因為這表明美國已做好再次衝突的準備。 麥格理指出,由於霍爾木茲海峽持續封鎖,原油價格居高不下,未解決的排雷問題以及美國對伊朗出口的持續制裁增加了再次發生軍事行動的風險。 麥格理表示,封鎖旨在削弱伊朗經濟,但警告稱,德黑蘭可能透過代理人襲擊沙烏地阿拉伯的石油運輸進行報復,這可能導致每天多達400萬桶的石油供應中斷。 麥格理補充說,儘管近期市場有所上漲,但停火協議仍然脆弱,石油運輸仍然中斷,再次衝突的風險仍然存在。 該公司表示,市場隱含的持久和平機率有所下降,5月31日前達成協議的可能性從59%降至47%,因為美國軍事部署顯示緊張局勢仍在持續。 麥格理表示,如果和平局面出現,石油和天然氣價格可能會下降,因此降低能源成本是持續緩和局勢的關鍵條件。 麥格理表示,和平局面可能會促使以英國央行為首的各國央行扭轉鷹派立場。 麥格理表示,市場仍預期英國央行和歐洲央行將升息,英鎊隔夜指數掉期利率已預示約38個基點的收緊。 美元隔夜指數掉期利率曲線預示著聯準會將在年底前降息約11個基點,顯示其立場相對更為鴿派。 麥格理表示,利率前景的分歧源自於英國央行採取更為鷹派的立場,原因是其對油價上漲引發通膨的擔憂加劇。 麥格理補充道,英國的通膨預期上升幅度超過美國,促使英國央行和歐洲央行採取比聯準會更緊縮的政策。 麥格理指出,聯準會已承認能源價格上漲帶來的風險,但主席傑伊·鮑威爾暗示,通膨壓力會持續多久尚不明朗。 麥格理表示,英國央行採取了更鷹派的立場,並警告稱,能源成本上漲已經推高了消費者價格,並可能透過工資和家庭帳單進一步推高通膨。 麥格理也補充道,歐洲央行也已發出通膨風險警告,尤其是第二輪效應,但其政策前景的調整幅度不如英國央行。 麥格理表示,結構性差異解釋了這種分歧,因為美國是能源淨出口國,而英國和歐洲嚴重依賴進口,這使得它們更容易受到持續能源價格衝擊和通貨膨脹的影響。

New Zealand Reviews Transport Rules to Improve Fuel Security

The New Zealand Government said it is preparing to remove or suspend regulatory barriers that make it harder for businesses and communities to cope with global fuel shocks, according to a Monday statement from Minister for Regulation David Seymour and Minister for Transport Chris Bishop.The government is exploring several policy shifts, including allowing some heavy vehicles to carry more weight per trip, and bringing some license class weight thresholds for zero-emission vehicles in line with similar diesel vehicles.The government is also considering relaxing time and access restrictions for over-dimension vehicles and removing some restrictions on the routes that over-dimension vehicles can use and when they can travel.Seymour said that the Government intends to avoid a lockdown situation due to the oil shock and remain in the first phase of the National Fuel Response Plan for as long as possible.The statement said that the government is considering all options so they can be implemented quickly if New Zealand moves to phase two, and they expect options to be ready by the end of April if needed.In case the move to the second phase becomes less likely, some options could be reworked into more permanent changes to reduce the impact of elevated fuel prices on the economy over the medium to long-term, the statement added.
