美國油價最新消息:美伊談判前景不明朗,供應擔憂加劇,原油價格飆升

-- 在週一盤後交易中,原油期貨價格上漲,此前伊朗暗示可能抵制即將在巴基斯坦舉行的和平談判,加劇了人們對脆弱的伊朗與美國為期兩週的停火協議將於週二到期後破裂的擔憂。 近月西德州中質原油期貨價格上漲4.71%,至每桶87.80美元;布蘭特原油期貨價格上漲4.36%,至每桶94.32美元。 荷蘭國際集團(ING)策略師表示,伊朗拒絕派遣和平談判團隊前往巴基斯坦,為阿拉伯灣局勢進一步升級以及美伊停火協議即將到期之際推高油氣價格打開了方便之門。 根據當地媒體報道,伊朗表示,其參與與美國的第二輪和平談判取決於某些先決條件的滿足。 據媒體報道,伊朗外交部發言人伊斯梅爾·巴蓋伊表示,伊朗沒有與美國舉行第二輪會談的計劃,並補充說,華盛頓沒有從經驗中吸取教訓,這樣做不會帶來好的結果。 巴蓋伊在社交媒體上發帖稱:“美國對伊朗港口或海岸線的所謂‘封鎖’不僅違反了巴基斯坦斡旋達成的停火協議,而且是非法和犯罪行為。” 更令人擔憂的是,據報道,由副總統約翰·萬斯率領的美國談判團隊尚未啟程前往巴基斯坦,這與先前報道的已在前往伊斯蘭堡進行會談的行程相矛盾。 週一,川普總統在社群媒體上發文稱,他相信其政府與伊朗達成的核協議將優於歐巴馬政府經過多年談判於2015年達成的國際協議。 同時,美伊之間圍繞霍爾木茲海峽的持續對峙有可能加劇全球能源危機。這只是眾多懸而未決的問題之一,其他問題也包括伊朗的核濃縮計畫和以色列持續入侵黎巴嫩。 週末期間,雙方達成的停火協議似乎岌岌可危。此前,華盛頓方面表示,他們扣押了一艘試圖突破封鎖的伊朗貨船,而德黑蘭方面則誓言報復。 「美國封鎖霍爾木茲海峽當然會阻礙伊朗的石油出口。但這同時也是針對歐洲和亞洲的破壞行動,」SEB Research首席大宗商品分析師比雅恩·希爾德羅普表示。 週日,美國海軍在阿曼灣向一艘伊朗貨船開火。隨後,美國海軍扣押了這艘貨船,指控這艘貨櫃船試圖突破封鎖。伊朗警告將報復,加劇了人們對敵對行動重啟的擔憂。 這項扣押行動是在伊朗週六襲擊海峽中的商船之後進行的,襲擊船隻包括一艘屬於法國達飛海運集團的貨櫃船和兩艘試圖穿越這條戰略水道的印度籍船隻。
