布伦特原油期货价格周四升至5月以来最高水平，此前也门亲伊朗的胡塞武装在沙特阿拉伯发动了更多袭击。这些袭击引发了人们对中东冲突可能进一步蔓延、扰乱全球最重要石油出口地区之一供应的担忧。
Brent crude oil prices rose to their highest level since May on Thursday after Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group carried out more attacks in Saudi Arabia. The attacks raised fears that the conflict in the Middle East could spread further and disrupt oil supplies from one of the world's most important oil-exporting regions.
截至周四格林威治标准时间0818，布伦特原油期货上涨3.35美元，涨幅3.08%，报每桶112.17美元。这是自5月18日以来的最高水平。盘中早些时候，布伦特原油价格曾触及每桶112.55美元。据路透社报道，美国西德克萨斯中质原油（WTI）期货也走高，上涨2.68美元，涨幅2.76%，报每桶99.83美元。
Brent crude futures rose by $3.35, or 3.08%, to $112.17 a barrel by 0818 GMT on Thursday. This was the highest level since May 18. Brent prices had touched $112.55 a barrel earlier in the trading session. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures also moved higher.
布伦特原油价格因供应担忧而上涨石油市场分析师表示，缓和乌克兰和中东局势紧张的努力不足以让市场平静下来。PVM石油分析师塔马斯·瓦尔加表示，霍尔木兹海峡船只遇袭以及胡塞武装袭击沙特阿拉伯及其石油基础设施，引发了对石油供应的担忧，尽管有报道称中东原油出口已恢复到冲突前以上的水平。
WTI crude rose by $2.68, or 2.76%, to $99.83 a barrel, according to Reuters. Brent crude oil prices rise amid supply fearsOil market analysts said efforts to reduce tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East were not convincing enough to calm the markets.
据路透社报道，瓦尔加还表示，他预计冲突不会在美国中期选举前缓和。他说，这可能会在未来几周内维持油价高位。
Attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia and its oil infrastructure were raising concerns about oil supplies, despite reports that Middle Eastern crude exports had recovered to levels above those seen before the conflict, PVM Oil analyst Tamas Varga said. Varga also said he did not expect the conflicts to ease before the US midterm elections.
尽管存在安全担忧，中东原油出口仍保持高位。摩根士丹利分析师估计，上周该地区原油出口量约为每天1700万桶。
He said this could keep oil prices high in the coming weeks, according to Reuters. Despite the security concerns, Middle Eastern crude oil exports remained high.
油价跳涨逾2%，因伊美紧张局势加深且原油库存下降美国也采取措施保护其在该地区的外交人员。美国国务院下令部分外交官及其家属撤离驻沙特阿拉伯的美国使领馆。
Morgan Stanley analysts estimated that crude oil exports from the region stood at around 17 million barrels per day last week. Oil prices jump over 2% as Iran-US tensions deepen and crude inventories fallThe United States has also taken steps to protect its diplomatic staff in the region.
美国官员告诉路透社，美国还计划从中东地区的其他多个美国外交使馆中撤出家属。
The US State Department ordered some diplomats and their family members to leave American missions in Saudi Arabia.
胡塞武装对沙特阿拉伯的袭击引发石油供应担忧也门的胡塞武装（与伊朗结盟）周三袭击了沙特阿拉伯的多个目标。据路透社报道，在达曼的一个民用机场，至少有1人死亡、8人受伤；另一次无人机袭击导致沙特一个油田的2人死亡。这些对沙特石油基础设施的袭击加剧了人们对石油生产和出口可能受到干扰的担忧。如果局势进一步升级，维持该地区的稳定石油供应将变得更加困难，而该地区在全球石油市场中占据重要地位。
It also plans to withdraw family members from several other US diplomatic missions across the Middle East, US officials told Reuters. Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia raise oil concernsYemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group attacked several targets in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. At least one person was killed and eight others were wounded at a civilian airport in Dammam, while two people were killed in a drone attack on a Saudi oil field, Reuters reported. The attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure have added to concerns about possible disruptions to oil production and exports.
伊朗南部发生爆炸事件据伊朗媒体报道，周三伊朗南部锡里克地区也发生了爆炸事件。
Any further escalation could make it harder to maintain stable supplies from the region, which plays a major role in the global oil market.
霍尔木兹海峡的袭击威胁石油供应伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）海军周四表示，其部队追踪到了四艘涉嫌在波斯湾北部进行非法石油运输的船只，并称这三艘船只均在周三同时遭到攻击并起火。IRGC海军还称，另有三艘船只在霍尔木兹海峡以西触雷。路透社报道称，伊朗方面警告美国军方，如果继续挑衅，可能会对该地区内的美国军事基地采取更严厉的报复措施。
Meanwhile, explosions were heard in Sirik in southern Iran on Wednesday, Iranian media reported. Strait of Hormuz attacks threaten oil suppliesIran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said on Thursday that its forces had tracked four vessels involved in what it described as illegal oil transfers in the northern Gulf. The navy said all four vessels were hit simultaneously and caught fire on Wednesday.
霍尔木兹海峡仍是石油市场的关键关注点由于霍尔木兹海峡对全球能源运输的重要性，该海峡的局势依然备受关注。对船只的袭击以及该地区的军事紧张局势可能进一步扰乱原油运输，从而推高油价。
The IRGC Navy also said three other vessels had collided with mines west of the Strait of Hormuz. It warned the US military that continued provocations could lead to a wider response against American military bases in the region, Reuters reported.

Attacks on vessels and further military escalation in the area could threaten the movement of crude oil and add pressure to prices.US Treasury yields hold steady as investors await economic data ahead of Fed rate decision on October 28Libya oil supply disruptions add to market pressureOil supply disruptions are also continuing in Libya.
利比亚国家石油公司负责人告诉路透社，连接哈马达（Hamada）和塔哈拉（Tahara）油田与扎维耶（Zawiya）港口的石油管道上的一个阀门已被关闭，导致这两个油田的原油产量均有所下降。美国政府也在采取措施应对不断上涨的燃料价格。特朗普政府表示愿意提供该国100万桶应急取暖油储备中的近三分之一，以遏制因柴油短缺而导致的油价飙升。
A valve on an oil pipeline connecting the Hamada and Tahara oilfields to the Zawiya port has been shut, reducing production at both oilfields, the head of Libya's National Oil Corporation told Reuters. The US administration is also taking steps to address rising fuel prices. The Trump administration is offering to loan out nearly one-third of the country's 1-million-barrel emergency heating oil reserve as it seeks to contain prices that have surged amid diesel shortages.
据路透社报道，柴油短缺与美以对伊朗的军事行动以及俄罗斯与乌克兰之间的持续冲突有关。随着供应问题的持续存在，燃料成本的上升给各国政府及能源市场带来了更大压力。
The diesel shortages have been linked to the US-Israeli war with Iran and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, according to Reuters. Higher fuel costs have added to pressure on governments and energy markets as supply concerns continue.
与此同时，随着油价上涨，乌克兰和平谈判成为焦点。据路透社报道，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京周三在圣彼得堡会见了美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫（Steve Witkoff），双方讨论了结束乌克兰战争的途径；华盛顿方面再次努力推动结束这场自二战以来欧洲最严重的冲突。克里姆林宫表示，普京同意下个月恢复由美国斡旋的乌克兰和平谈判。乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基也支持这些谈判，并希望谈判能尽快启动。
Ukraine peace talks in focus as oil prices riseSeparately, Russian President Vladimir Putin met US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in St Petersburg on Wednesday. The meeting focused on efforts to end the war in Ukraine, as Washington renewed its push to stop Europe's deadliest conflict since World War Two, Reuters reported. The Kremlin said Putin had agreed to resume US-mediated peace talks with Ukraine as soon as next month. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy also expressed support for the talks and said he hoped they would begin as soon as possible, according to Reuters.
然而，中东和乌克兰地区的冲突仍给石油市场带来不确定性。新的袭击事件、对航运路线的威胁以及生产中断都加剧了人们对全球原油供应稳定性的担忧。布伦特原油价格突破每桶112美元，反映了这些日益严重的供应问题。交易者们正在密切关注沙特阿拉伯、伊朗、霍尔木兹海峡以及乌克兰的局势发展，因为任何进一步的紧张局势都可能推动油价进一步上涨。
However, uncertainty over the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine continues to weigh on the oil market. Fresh attacks, threats to shipping routes and disruptions to production have increased concerns about the reliability of global crude supplies. Brent crude's rise above $112 a barrel reflects these growing supply concerns. Traders are watching developments in Saudi Arabia, Iran, the Strait of Hormuz and Ukraine closely, as any further escalation could push oil prices higher, Reuters reported.
