伊朗海域冲突报导刺激周二美国油价小幅上涨

据道琼斯4月28日消息，周二美国原油期货小幅收涨，盘中一度因伊朗在霍尔木玆海峡扣押西方货船的消息弹升。

纽约商交所六月交割的轻质低硫原油期货结算价上涨7美分，至每桶57.06美元，涨幅0.1%。伦敦ICE交易所的布伦特原油期货下跌19美分，至每桶64.64美元，跌幅0.3%。

油市盘中受到伊朗海域冲突报道的影响，激励美国油价一度升至每桶57.73美元。美国国防部稍后澄清，遭伊朗扣押的货船挂有马绍尔群岛的旗帜，且船上没有美国公民。五角大楼也表示，该事件发生于伊朗海域，而非国际海域。

U.S. Oil Prices Inch Higher

By Carolyn Cui And Nicole Friedman

NEW YORK--U.S. oil prices ended Tuesday with a modest gain, after a brief spike following the news that Iran seized a Western cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

Light, sweet crude for June delivery rose 7 cents, or 0.1%, to $57.06 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the global benchmark, fell 19 cents, or 0.3%, to $64.64 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange.

The oil market was roiled by a report on the maritime confrontation, sending U.S. crude prices to as high as $57.73 a barrel. Later, the U.S. Department of Defense clarified that the cargo ship that was taken over by the Iranian forces bore a Marshall Islands flag, and there were no U.S. citizens on board. The Pentagon also said the incident took place in Iranian waters, instead of international waters.
