Core Viewpoint - China has significantly reduced its oil imports from the United States, dropping by 90%, while increasing imports from other countries like Canada, Russia, and the Middle East [5][7]. Group 1: Import Trends - As of March 2025, China's oil imports from the U.S. have plummeted to approximately 3 million barrels per month, a drastic decline from a peak of 29 million barrels [5]. - In contrast, imports from Canada have surged to a record 7.3 million barrels per month during the same period [5]. Group 2: Reasons for Reduced Imports - Economic Cost: U.S. oil is less competitive due to high tariffs and transportation costs, while oil from Russia can be transported via pipeline and settled in RMB [5]. - Energy Security: China is diversifying its energy imports to reduce reliance on any single country, with U.S. energy imports expected to account for only one-third of its commitments by 2025 [5]. - Political Retaliation: In response to U.S. tariffs, China has reduced energy purchases from the U.S. and expanded cooperation with other oil-producing nations such as Saudi Arabia and Brazil [7].

伊朗议会于6月22日投票批准一项决议，授权在"必要情况下"关闭霍尔木兹海峡，最终决定权被移交至伊朗最高国家安全委员会及最高领袖哈梅 内伊手中。尽管全面封锁尚未成为现实，但这一动作已足够让全球能源市场神经紧绷。 最窄处仅33公里的霍尔木兹海峡，是波斯湾通往印度洋的唯一水道。 这里每日输送约2100万桶原油及精炼油品，占全球石油消费量的20%，同时承担全球20% 的液化天然气（LNG）出口，其中卡塔尔和阿联酋的LNG几乎全 部依赖此通道。 若海峡完全中断，全球石油供应将锐减1800万桶/日，相当于全球消费量的近20%。 这一冲击远超历史纪录——2019年沙特遇袭导致的570万桶/日中断、1979年伊朗革命引发的560万桶/日断供，在此面前都相形见绌。 航运市场已率先反应：超大型油轮（VLCC）从波斯湾到中国的日租金在10天内从不足2万美元飙升至4.8万美元，涨幅超140%。若绕行好望角，航程将增加 7000公里，运输成本再涨40%。 美国消费者将首当其冲。若油价升至130美元，汽油零售价可能突破4.50美元/加仑，加州等地甚至逼近6美元。油价每上涨10美元，美国通胀率就将增加0.3- 0.4个百分点，挤压美联储政 ...
