珀斯，9月30日：周三油价上涨，此前美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示不愿放松对伊朗的制裁；与此同时，卡塔尔积极推动和平谈判。此前由于中东地区原油供应量有所回升，油价曾出现下跌。
PERTH, Sept 30 : Oil prices rose on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump denied he would be willing to ease sanctions on Iran while Qatar pushed for peace talks, after falling in the previous session on a recovery in crude supply from the Middle East.
截至格林尼治标准时间上午1点31分，布伦特原油期货价格上涨1.14美元（涨幅1.11%），达到每桶103.73美元；美国西德克萨斯中质原油价格上涨34美分（涨幅0.38%），达到每桶89.72美元。
Brent crude futures rose $1.14, or 1.11 per cent, to $103.73 a barrel by 0131 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate crude 34 cents, or 0.38 per cent, to $89.72.
布伦特原油的价格本月将上涨约14%，这是自7月以来最大的涨幅；而WTI原油的价格也上涨了4%，其价格首次突破每桶106美元。
Brent is headed for a monthly gain of around 14 per cent, its biggest climb since July, while WTI is on track for a 4 per cent rise after having breached $106 for the first time since May.
本月，这两种基准原油之间的价差扩大到了四个月以来的最大水平，因为交易者们正在关注美国可能实施的柴油出口限制措施——这些措施可能会导致国内市场出现供应过剩，进而迫使美国炼油厂减少原油加工量。
The spread between the two benchmarks this month also expanded to its widest in four months as traders watched potential plans by the US to restrict diesel exports, which could create an oversupply in the domestic market and lead US refiners to process less crude.
随着11月中期选举的临近，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑允许销售经过染色的柴油（而非实施出口禁令），以此为消费者提供一定的价格缓解措施。
US President Donald Trump is considering allowing sales of red-dyed diesel, instead of an export ban, to offer some price relief to consumers as the November mid-term elections loom.
MST Marquee能源研究主管索尔·卡沃尼克（Saul Kavonic）表示：“霍尔木兹海峡原油运输量正在逐步恢复的迹象进一步显现，人们开始期待替代美国柴油出口限制的解决方案；此外，过去24小时内伊朗方面没有出现任何升级举动，这有助于油价回落。”
“Further evidence of recovering flows through the Strait of Hormuz, hope for alternatives to a US diesel export restriction will emerge, and no material Iranian escalation in the last 24 hours has seen prices come off a little,” Saul Kavonic, head of energy research at MST Marquee, said.
他补充说：“当前局势依然充满不确定性，石油运输的成本高昂且受到诸多限制。”
The situation “remains volatile, oil logistics are expensive and constrained”, he added.
卡塔尔方面表示，希望伊朗与美国之间的穿梭外交能够促成突破性进展。
Qatar said on Tuesday it hopes that shuttle diplomacy between Iran and the US can lead to a breakthrough.
卡塔尔外交部发言人马吉德·阿尔-安萨里（Majed al-Ansari）对记者表示：“我们正在与各方进行沟通，致力于寻找共同点，以达成一项能够让我们所有人免受冲突影响的协议。”
"We are exchanging messages between the parties, and we're working towards establishing a common ground in order to get into a deal that would save all of us from the repercussions of the conflict," Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari told reporters.
然而，特朗普否认了Axios的报道。该报道援引美国官员的话称，特朗普愿意在伊朗就其核计划采取“具体”行动的情况下，解除对伊朗的制裁并解冻被冻结的伊朗资金。
However, Trump denied an Axios report that cited US officials as saying he was willing to give Iran sanctions relief and release frozen Iranian funds in return for "concrete" steps by Tehran on its nuclear programme.
“这完全是谎言。我根本没有向他们提出任何条件，”特朗普在Truth Social上写道。
"This is untrue. I offered them NOTHING," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
