国金证券石油化工团队认为，当前原油价格仍在地缘冲突与供需过剩的矛盾中博弈，短期来看，主要支 撑来自地缘因素。地缘冲突引发的原油价格上涨都将是一时性的，中期将进一步加剧原油过剩的压力。 如委内瑞拉冲突结束，委内瑞拉产量可能修复至110万桶/天以上。 国泰君安期货分析师黄柳楠认为，原油短线受到委内瑞拉局势影响，委油出口短期继续受阻，油价或存 在部分情绪溢价高开。委内瑞拉短期出口直接下滑规模或在30-60万桶/日。但长期来看，各类油品间接 贸易渠道的孕育、轻重油市场的可分化性、地缘局势本身的演绎、OPEC+其他成员国对产量的填补均 可能进一步削弱市场对这一利好的计价程度。 21世纪经济报道记者 叶麦穗 2026年开年，委内瑞拉总统马杜罗被俘引发市场对原油市场的关注。 由于委内瑞拉的探明石油储量居世界第一，当局的波动可能会让石油价格出现震荡，多数分析认为，原 油短线可能会冲高5%到8%，但中长期来看，受到全球经济疲软，原油供应依然供大于求，原油价格在 今年一季度依然会承压。由于事件发生在周末，市场对于下周一原油的表现也都翘首以盼。 短线或有5%到8%的涨幅 新华社消息，美国总统特朗普当地时间1月3日称，美军对委内瑞拉 ...
