EMEA天然ガス最新情報:米イラン和平提案を受けて価格が下落

By

-- イランが紛争終結を目指す米国の提案を検討していると表明し、ワシントンが提示する条件を直ちに受け入れるつもりはないと示唆したことを受け、水曜日の時間外取引で欧州天然ガス先物価格は下落幅を縮小した。 オランダのTTF先物は6.012%下落し44.105ユーロ(51.83ドル)、英国のNBP先物は5.825%下落し108.32英ペンス(1.47ドル)となった。 価格は、外交的進展の報道を受けて取引開始直後に約9%下落したが、トランプ米大統領がイランが合意を拒否すれば軍事行動を強化すると警告したことで、その後一部を回復した。 報道によると、ホワイトハウスは枠組み合意が間近に迫っているとみており、イランからの回答を金曜日までに待っているという。トランプ大統領は火曜日遅く、協議の「大きな進展」を理由に、ホルムズ海峡を通過する商船の護衛作戦を一時停止すると発表した。しかし、彼は後に、イランがこの提案を拒否すれば「爆撃が始まる」と警告し、その激しさは以前よりも増すだろうと述べた。 中東紛争とホルムズ海峡の封鎖により、欧州の天然ガス供給は逼迫し、価格も高騰している。「中東からのガスの大部分はアジア向けだが、今回の混乱は世界的な供給逼迫を招き、冬に備えて在庫を積み増す必要のある欧州では懸念が高まっている」とトレーディング・エコノミクスは指摘した。 ガス・インフラストラクチャー・ヨーロッパによると、EUのガス貯蔵量は水曜日時点で容量の34.07%にとどまり、前年同期の41.4%を大きく下回った。 一方、ノルウェーのエクイノールは水曜日、紛争による生産量増加と価格上昇に支えられ、過去3年間で最も好調な四半期決算を発表した。同社は、湾岸地域の緊張の高まりにより、欧州からのLNG貨物に対するアジアの需要も増加していると述べた。 エクイノールは北極圏のハンメルフェストにLNGプラントを運営しており、主に欧州の顧客に供給している。 「しかし、アジアのお客様からは、顧客関係を維持するために年に一度連絡してくるという要望が見られます。今では週に2回も連絡してくるようになりました」と、エクイノールのアンダース・オペダルCEOは決算説明会で述べたと報じられている。

Update: WTI Oil Plunges Following Reports the U.S. and Iran May Be Close to a Peace Deal

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil plunged 7% on Wednesday following reports the United States and Iran are close to an agreement to end their war, offering the possibility the Strait of Hormuz could soon reopen.WTI crude oil for June delivery closed down US$7.19 to settle at US$95.08 per barrel after touching US$88.66 in Asian trade, while July Brent oil was last seen down US$9.13 to US$100.74.The drop came as Axios overnight reported the two countries were close to a negotiated deal to end hostilities, which was later confirmed by U.S. President Trump. In a social media post, Trump said the war "will be at an end" and the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to traffic if Iran agrees to a U.S. peace proposal, while threatening to resume bombing if its terms are rejected.Citing Iran's state media, Reuters reported Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is claiming the Strait, the chokepoint for exports from Persian Gulf nations supplying 20% of daily oil demand, could reopen if a deal is reached.Oil prices have climbed by more than half since Iran closed the Strait when the war began on Feb. 28, trapping exports of oil, LNG, fertilizers and other commodities in the Persian Gulf. However an end to the war is unlikely to see a quick return to normal. Iranian attacks on oil and gas infrastructure in neighboring countries and restarting production from shut-in oilfields will limit a quick return to pre-war operating levels."If Hormuz were to be reopened, it would take an additional seven months at minimum to fully restore upstream production, assuming no permanent damage and supply chains operate smoothly. A recovery could take longer if there is damage to ports or other transport and loading infrastructure," S&P Global Energy noted.The Energy Information Administration on Wednesday reported another drop in U.S. commercial oil inventories, saying stocks fell by 2.3-million barrels last week, under the consensus estimate for a drop of 3.3-million barrels among analysts polled by Reuters.

US Oil Update: Futures Slide With Prospects of US-Iran Deal in Focus

Crude oil futures retreated in midday trading on Wednesday, extending losses from the previous session, as signs of progress toward a potential US-Iran agreement eased concerns about supply disruptions in the Middle East.Front-month West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell by 6.93% to $95.17 per barrel, while Brent futures were down 7.55% to $101.59/bbl.Soojin Kim, research analyst at MUFG, said tighter US crude inventories and ongoing Middle East supply risks continue to support prices despite improving sentiment around diplomacy.US crude oil inventories decreased by 2.3 million barrels to 457.2 mmbbls in the week ended May 1, the Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report on Wednesday.The agency said crude oil input to refineries dropped by 42,000 barrels per day from the previous week to average about 16 mmb/d in the week ending May 1. Crude oil production dropped by 13,000 b/d to 13.6 mmb/d.Iran is reviewing a new US proposal, and it will convey its response soon through Pakistan, according to media reports. On Wednesday, President Trump said "Great Progress" has been made on a final agreement to end the war with Iran, without giving more details.Trump said the US would pause its efforts to escort ships through the Hormuz Strait, as White House officials reportedly believe Washington is nearing a one-page, 14-point memorandum of understanding to end the conflict.ING strategists said a deal that normalizes oil flows through Hormuz is crucial, with about 13 million b/d of disrupted supply largely offset by declining inventory.However, Rystad Energy strategists said even if an agreement is reached, the impact on actual oil flows would be slower and more conditional than current price action suggests."A deal announcement would move futures further immediately, in fact, even the potential of a deal is already triggering a decline in oil prices. However, the physical market does not run on political timelines," said Paola Rodriguez-Masiu, Rystad's chief oil analyst.On the supply front, Venezuelan crude exports climbed to a seven-month high of just over 1.05 million barrels per day in April, more than double from January levels, as a revamped licensing framework and easing trade restrictions supported a broader recovery in flows.Kpler said the rebound was driven by stronger demand from traditional buyers, with the US importing about 400,000 b/d and India taking 384,000 b/d.
