花旗:油价将持续剧烈波动 等待美伊协议明朗
格隆汇05-07
花旗集团全球大宗商品研究主管Max Layton表示,在伊朗与特朗普是否能够达成协议的问题明朗之前,油价将继续剧烈波动。“很难预测伊朗是否会达成协议,在这种你根本不知道是否会达成协议的环境下,市场必然会受到新闻驱动,并出现剧烈波动。”周四原油连续第三个交易日下跌,Layton表示,本轮下跌部分源于“市场希望双方能够展开协议谈判”。不过中东地区实物原油市场压力依然存在。交易员称,位于霍尔木兹海峡外、阿曼一处关键原油装载终端4月出现装船延误,扰乱了运输计划,并可能推迟向买家交付货物。Layton表示,过去12个月全球实物原油市场已累积约7亿至8亿桶“相当可观的缓冲库存”,“我们正在快速消耗这些库存,”他说,但其影响将会“在更长时间内逐步体现”。他补充称,在真正下调油价预测前,他需要看到伊朗是否已准备好认真与美国达成协议。上个月,在第二轮美伊和平谈判未能举行后,花旗将布伦特原油基准价格预测上调15美元至110美元/桶,并将霍尔木兹海峡恢复开放的基准预期时间从4月中下旬推迟至5月底。
