针对OPEC+暂停2026年一季度增产计划的决定，银河期货原油研究员赵若晨认为全球原油库存仍处高 位，仅靠暂停增产计划短期很难改变对供应过剩的预期。在非OPEC+国家(尤其是美国)产量持续高企的 背景下，其通过调节产量来平衡市场的能力和边际效应正在减弱。 与此同时，有关俄罗斯11月原油产量显著低于其OPEC+配额的消息也引发了关注。中信期货研究所高 级研究员何颢昀分析认为，这主要缘于乌克兰针对俄罗斯能源基础设施及"影子船队"的无人机袭击力度 加大，导致其出口一度受挫。然而，12月初相关出口数据已有所反弹，俄油供应目前仍未见到明显减 量。这暗示俄罗斯的产量波动更多是地缘冲突带来的短期扰动和物流挑战，而非长期性的产能萎缩。赵 若晨认为，西方制裁导致买家减少及设施遇袭等因素的影响是短期扰动还是长期趋势尚待观察。俄罗斯 产量的不确定性，为市场提供了一丝紧缩的想象空间，但其可持续性和实际效果存疑。 近日，美国军方在委内瑞拉海岸附近拦截并扣押一艘受制裁油轮。赵若晨认为，这标志着美国对委内瑞 拉的制裁从"书面执行"转变到了"武力执行"的新阶段。这可能会显著增大"影子船队"的运输风险和保险 成本，短期或扰乱委内瑞拉原油出口， ...
