4月8日宣布的停火以及围绕45天休战的平行讨论并未解决霍尔木兹海峡的混乱问题。目前,他们已经限制了最坏的情况,但油轮运输量仍处于正常水平的一小部分,伊朗对过境费的需求预示着结构性转变,而不是暂时的转变。
最初的地区冲突已成为全球能源冲击,市场面临的问题不再是霍尔木兹是否受到干扰,而是这种混乱对石油的最低定价产生了多大的永久性影响。
关键要点
- 每天约有2000万桶(桶)的石油和石油产品通常通过伊朗和阿曼之间的霍尔木兹海峡,相当于全球石油消费量的约五分之一,约占全球海运石油贸易的30%。
- 这是流量冲击,不是库存问题。石油市场依赖于持续的吞吐量,而不是静态存储。
- 如果中断持续超过几周,布伦特原油可能会从短期飙升转向更广泛的价格冲击,存在滞胀风险。
- 穿越海峡的油轮运输量从每天约135艘下降到中断高峰期的不到15艘船只,减少了约85%,超过150艘船只停泊、改道或延误。
- 4月8日宣布了为期两周的停火,为期45天的休战谈判正在进行之中。伊朗已分别表示要求对使用该海峡的船只收取过境费,如果正式确定,这将是能源成本的永久地缘政治最低标准。
- 市场已经开始从增长和技术敞口转向能源和国防企业,这反映了人们的观点,即石油价格上涨正在成为结构性成本,而不是暂时的风险溢价。
世界上最关键的石油阻塞点
霍尔木兹海峡每天处理大约2000万桶石油和石油产品,相当于全球石油消费量的20%和全球海运石油贸易的30%左右。由于全球石油需求接近1.04亿桶/日,且剩余产能有限,在最近的升级之前,市场已经处于紧密平衡状态。
该海峡也是液化天然气的重要走廊。2024年,平均每天约有2.9亿立方米的液化天然气通过该路线,约占全球液化天然气贸易的20%,亚洲市场是主要目的地。
国际能源署(IEA)将霍尔木兹描述为世界上最重要的石油运输阻塞点,并指出,即使是部分中断也可能引发价格的大幅波动。布伦特原油已跌破每桶100美元,这既反映了物质紧张,也反映了地缘政治风险溢价的上升。

由于流量减慢,油轮处于空转状态
现在,航运和保险数据实时显示压力。据报道,超过85艘大型原油运输船滞留在波斯湾,而由于运营商重新评估安全和保险,有150多艘船舶停泊、改道或延误。据估计,这将使1.2亿至1.5亿桶原油在海上闲置。
这些量仅代表霍尔木兹正常吞吐量的六到七天,或略高于一天的全球石油消费。
最新的航运和保险数据现在证实,有150多艘船只停泊、改道或延误,高于最初报告的85艘船只。闲置原油的1.3天全球消费保障仍然是约束性制约因素:这是流量冲击,不是储存问题,停火尚未转化为产量的实质性恢复。
建立在流量而不是存储基础上的市场
石油市场在持续波动中运作。炼油厂、石化厂和全球供应链经过调整,可以沿着可预测的海道稳定交付。当流经占全球石油消耗量约五分之一和全球海运石油贸易约30%的阻塞点时,该系统可以在几天之内从平衡变为赤字。
剩余产能主要集中在欧佩克内,估计仅为每天300万至500万桶。这远低于霍尔木兹水流受到严重干扰时面临的风险交易量。
通货膨胀风险和宏观溢出效应
石油冲击的通货膨胀影响通常以波浪形式出现。随着汽油、柴油和电力成本的上涨,燃料和能源价格的上涨可能会迅速提振总体通货膨胀。
随着时间的推移,更高的能源成本可能会流向货运、食品、制造业和服务业。如果混乱持续下去,通货膨胀率上升和增长放缓相结合,可能会增加滞胀环境的风险,使中央银行面临艰难的权衡。
不容易抵消,系统几乎没有松弛
当前局势之所以特别严重,是因为全球体系缺乏松弛。
当处理近2,000万桶/日(约占全球石油消耗量的五分之一)的阻塞点受到损害时,将近1.03亿至1.04亿桶的全球供需几乎没有备用缓冲。估计每天300万至500万桶的剩余产能,主要在欧佩克内部,只能覆盖风险产量的一小部分。
替代路线,包括绕过霍尔木兹的管道和改道运输,只能部分抵消流量的损失,而且通常成本更高,交货时间更长。
底线
在霍尔木兹海峡的过境恢复并被视为可靠安全之前,全球石油流动可能继续受损,风险溢价上升。对于投资者、政策制定者和企业决策者来说,核心问题是石油能否每天不间断地转移到需要去的地方。

XAUUSD Analysis 3 – 7 April 2023 The gold price trend can be viewed both positively and negatively in the short and medium term. As the closing of the Doji bar and last week's sell pressure bar indicate market hesitation. Although the previous week, gold has had strong buying momentum and has continued since the beginning of March.
But even so, the gold price has not yet clearly shown strong selling momentum. In addition, last week's closing of the Doji bar and selling pressure bar was a close of the candlestick above the 1960 support, the latest high of gold prices on the Weekly timeframe level, so it can be expected that the price of gold will still hold. Opportunity to rise to test resistance 2070, which is an important resistance in the weekly timeframe level or the price that gold has ever done the most in history.
And in the event that gold prices cannot continue to rise A retracement to support at the time frame level of 1880 is the next target to watch. But regardless of whether the price will rise or fall Short-term forecasts on the time frame day can be seen as the possibility of a sideways or consolidation between the 1960 support and the 2000 resistance until the price direction is clear. AUDUSD Analysis 3 – 7 April 2023 The AUDUSD price sideways and swings within the 0.67750 resistance and 0.6560 support levels as seen from the H4 timeframe and Daytime timeframe.

The buying momentum of the price is not yet clearly seen compared to the selling momentum. forecasting that price May have a more negative direction.

Then it broke up to the price level of 1.09300, which was the price that could move up the most last week. Before there was a continuous sell down like this for two weeks in a row. forecasting that price May have both upward direction (but probably not much) and a downtrend in the medium term like time frame day. Due to the loss of buying momentum over the past week and the previous week, the trend of the price has become less pronounced.
The important price line to watch in the day frame is support 1.05250 (latest low) and resistance 1.08800 (latest high).

XAUUSD Analysis 27 – 31 March 2023 The gold price trend can be viewed both positively and negatively in the short and medium term.

Leading online broker GO Markets has hired ex-Pepperstone Head of Market Risk, Peter Spanos. Peter has joined GO Markets as Head of Risk & Product Development, flagging a new era of growth for the Australian-founded broker. Spanos said of his new position, “It’s exciting to work at a company with a supportive culture.
GO Markets has big plans for the future, with some notable key hires recently. I look forward to helping the company on that journey. It’s a great place to be, surrounded by lots of very talented people.” Spanos started out at IG 15 years ago, as Senior Quoting Dealer / Market Maker.
He then moved to CMC Markets as Volatility Risk Manager, and most recently Head of Market Risk at Pepperstone, a role he’d held since 2018. GO Markets Director, Khim Khor said, “It’s great to have Peter on board. He has a wealth of experience and fits well into the culture at GO Markets.
We are very optimistic about what the future holds.” Several key personnel from Pepperstone have moved to GO Markets in the last 3 years, including GO Markets’ current Chief Marketing Officer, Head of Design, and their recently hired Senior Premium Client Manager.

Australia’s biggest lender has suffered a dropped in price the last few days. Shares in the bank fell as much as 5.7% in early trading in Sydney while the broader market (.AXJO) fell 1.0%, amid concerns of a weaker mortgage business in the high interest rate environment and the bank's lending margins peaking. Key points Brokers think that CBA’s margins can benefit from higher interest rates, however bad debts could rise CBA shares are down approximately 5%, which is a similar fall to the ASX 200 Morgans thinks that there’s more declines to come for CBA shares, though the dividend is expected to rise However, is not all doom and gloom when you peel back the layers as long-term shareholders would testify that while CBA shares have dropped 15% over the past week, it only registers an 8.5% drop in the last 6 months.
They are also sitting at the same price it was before the COVID-19 crash of 2020. Morgans is expecting a growing dividend from the big bank in the future. The estimated grossed-up dividend yield is 5.7% in FY22 and 6.25% in FY23.
After 8 rate hikes in 2022 and a further quarter-basis point raise last week, the central bank has indicated more tightening ahead to stamp out inflation. Soaring rates have cooled off the housing market and added to rising cost of living. "We expect business credit growth to moderate and global economic growth to slow during 2023," said Chief Executive Officer Matt Comyn. "However, we remain optimistic that a soft landing for the Australian economy can be achieved." "We are conscious that many of our customers are feeling significant strain from rising interest rates, alongside the rising costs of electricity, groceries and other household items,” Comyn said in an analyst and investor briefing. Comyn said some customers have drawn down savings and reduced spending, but they have not fallen behind on repayments yet.
To conclude the RBA interest rate hike was always going to affect the markets and cost of living, this much was advised at the Jackson Hole meeting last year. Many analysts and bankers hope that Australia has enough about them to have a soft landing and avoid a recession coming into 2023.

US Dollar Index Fundamental Analysis A hard-fought tug-of-war between bulls and bears played out on the DXY Index after U.S. inflation data crossed the wires. A knee-jerk reaction caused the greenback to plunge, but eventually it was able to recover and move into positive territory due to higher Treasury yields (DXY +0.10% to 103.41). However, a bearish USD outlook is held by economists at Bank of America Global Research, who see a mild recession in the USA for this year as fed cuts to begin only in March 2024. “We expect a mild recession starting mid-2023 and Fed cuts to begin only in March 2024.
For 2023, the market expects a much milder recession, with the Fed still hiking rate 1-2 more times before slightly cutting rates in second half of the year.” “For now, we still hold a bearish USD view for the medium term; 2023 playing out in line with leading indicator historical precedents would increase the upside risk to our bearish USD outlook.” US Dollar Index Technical Analysis The US Dollar index has been trading in a range between $102.6 to $104 for the last 7 days. At the time of writing, Dollar Index is currently trading at $103.93, which is a major level of resistance where price has fallen significantly from in the past (Jan 2017). As seen in the photo below, it shows that price has come up to test this trend line that can be clearly seen on the daily time frame, paired with the consolidation, if this daily candlestick closes below $104 there could be a high probability of the US dollar continuing with its higher time frame downtrend.
A break above this trend line however could indicate a move to the upside.
