油价震荡，因交易员在伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡升级敌对行动的前景与波斯湾原油的强劲流动之间进行权衡。
Oil wavered as traders weighed the prospect of an escalation in hostilities by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz against robust crude flows from the Persian Gulf.
最活跃的西得州中质原油期货合约在约98美元/桶附近交易，此前一交易日曾在约3美元的区间内波动。布伦特原油结算价为109.55美元/桶，接近五个月高点。伊朗第一副总统穆罕默德·雷扎·阿雷夫周一表示，伊朗别无选择，只能主张对霍尔木兹海峡的控制以维护国家安全，这一消息由伊朗国家通讯社IRNA报道。
The most-active West Texas Intermediate contract traded around $98 a barrel after swinging in a range of about $3 in the previous session. Brent settled at $109.55, near a five-month high. Iran has “no choice” but to assert control over Hormuz to safeguard the country’s security, First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said Monday, state-run news agency IRNA reported.
尽管霍尔木兹海峡周边地区最近出现敌对行动升级，但波斯湾的原油出口仍在以加速的速度持续进行。美国能源部长克里斯·赖特告诉福克斯新闻，原油流量已恢复到战前水平的约80%，尽管成品油运输仍受限制。
Despite the recent flareup in hostilities around the waterway, crude exports from the Gulf have continued at an accelerated pace. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox News that flows had recovered to about 80% of their prewar level, although refined-product shipments remained constrained.
布伦特原油年内已上涨约80%，因中东局势以及俄乌冲突的扩大导致能源供应中断。成品油涨幅更大，欧洲柴油期货飙升。然而，尽管波斯湾原油流量正在恢复，油轮和能源基础设施遭到新一轮袭击仍使前景脆弱、地缘政治风险居高不下。
Brent has surged about 80% this year as widening conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine disrupt energy supplies. Refined products have rallied even harder, with European diesel futures surging. Still, while Persian Gulf crude flows are recovering, renewed attacks on tankers and energy infrastructure are keeping the outlook fragile and geopolitical risk elevated.
与此同时，根据赖特的说法，特朗普政府正在授权对受制裁油轮的销售，以使其能够运输原油。他估计全球“暗舰队”约有1600艘船舶。
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is authorizing the sale of sanctioned oil tankers to allow them to ship crude, according to Wright. He estimated that there are about 1,600 vessels in the global “dark fleet.”
