Американскиот претседател Доналд Трамп предложи воведување надомест од 20 проценти од вредноста на товарот за сите бродови што транзитираат низ Ормускиот Теснец, наведувајќи дека САД треба да бидат обесштетени за гарантирањето на безбедноста на еден од најважните светски поморски коридори.

美國庫欣原油庫存降至臨界低位 美國供應緩衝空間收窄
美國最大的商業原油儲存中心的庫存降至2014年以來最低水平，伊朗戰爭期間美國出口激增消耗了國內供應。 美國能源信息管理局(EIA)周三公佈的數據顯示，俄克拉何馬州庫欣(Cushing)原油儲備中心庫存已連續八周下降，目前約為2,000萬桶。這是大多數交易員認為的最低運營水平。 庫欣庫存水平對交易員判斷美國原油期貨基準價格至關重要。WTI期貨價格又為美洲地區數百萬桶原油交易提供定價基準。 美國原油出口在戰爭期間升至紀錄高點，以填補全球供應缺口，這導致庫欣庫存大幅下降。中東衝突導致全球約20%的能源運輸被困在波斯灣地區。 與此同時，隨著川普政府推進釋放1.72億桶戰略石油儲備(SPR)以緩解戰爭期間燃料價格上漲的計畫，美國戰略原油儲備規模也持續下降。 設立於20世紀70年代初阿拉伯石油禁運之後的戰略石油儲備本周降至約3.4億桶的接近歷史最低水平。這是自1983年以來的最低水平。 推薦閱讀：美國石油儲備跌至43年來最低 或削弱應對未來供應擾動的靈活性...

Por qué el petróleo no está a US$200 tras el mayor shock de oferta de la historia
Bloomberg — Durante décadas, los comerciantes de petróleo, ejecutivos y analistas advirtieron que el cierre del Estrecho de Ormuz sería una catástrofe económica mundial.

Зошто нафтата не е на 200 долари по историски најголемиот шок во понудата?
Со децении, трговците со нафта, раководителите и аналитичарите предупредуваа дека затворањето на Ормускиот Теснец ќе биде глобална економска катастрофа. Поминаа повеќе од три месеци откако водниот пат беше ефикасно блокиран, создавајќи го најлошиот шок за снабдување во модерната историја. Но, низа заобиколни решенија ја одржуваат суровата нафта под 100 долари за барел, што ги побива многу од најмрачните прогнози на индустријата за цени и до 200 долари.
