-- 欧州天然ガス先物価格は、米国とイランが2カ月以上続く紛争終結に向けた合意に近づいているとの報道を受け、水曜日に9%急落した後、木曜日の早朝取引で小幅に下落した。 オランダのTTF先物は0.1%下落し43.90ユーロ(51.67ドル)、英国のNBP先物は0.04%下落し107.53英ペンス(1.46ドル)となった。 水曜日の急落は、イランがそのような枠組みを一切認めていない中で発生したが、イランは水曜日後半、世界の石油・ガス供給量の約20%を枯渇させている紛争終結を目指す米国の提案を検討していると発表した。 ANZ銀行のシニア商品アナリスト、ダニエル・ハインズ氏は、一部の欧州トレーダーが来冬の価格高騰に備えてヘッジを続けていると指摘した。貯蔵備蓄の補充作業はまだ始まったばかりで、アジアの輸入業者が当面の需要を満たすのに十分な輸入量を確保するのに苦労している現状では、困難な課題となるだろう。 水曜日のAxiosの報道では、ホワイトハウスが恒久的な和平合意の見通しについて楽観的な見方を示していると報じられたが、ドナルド・トランプ米大統領が合意に至らなければストライキを行うと警告するソーシャルメディアへの投稿は、双方の間にどれほどの共通点があるのかという点に少なくとも疑問を投げかけた。 Gas Infrastructure Europeによると、水曜日の時点でEUのガス貯蔵量は容量の34.07%にとどまり、1年前の41.4%を大きく下回っている。
