全球能源市场正在经历一场剧烈的结构性调整，俄罗斯作为曾经的能源巨头，正面临前所未有的挑战。 新罗西斯克港的拥堵现状，直观地反映了俄罗斯能源出口的困境。港口工作人员透露，近期抵达的油轮中，近三分之一装载的原油无法及时运出，只能暂时 作为浮式储存。这些油轮原本计划将原油交付给印度、欧洲等地的买家，但由于美国的制裁，买家纷纷退缩，船东也因担心被列入制裁名单而拒绝接单。目 前，俄罗斯的海上库存已经积压超过3000万桶，相当于全球每日原油消费量的3%。 国际能源署的数据描绘了一幅严峻的画面：2025年全球原油市场将出现每日50万桶的过剩，而2026年这一数字可能飙升至400万桶。这种结构性过剩的压 力，正不断挤压俄罗斯在国际能源市场上的定价权。一个显著的例证是，俄罗斯原油的折价幅度已扩大至每桶23.5美元，触及2023年3月以来的最高点。与 此同时，美国的原油出口量强势反弹，重新回到2024年夏季的水平，圭亚那、巴西等新兴产油国也纷纷加大对亚洲市场的出口力度，同比增幅高达40%。 俄罗斯的财政收入高度依赖能源出口，占比高达55%。然而，油价的持续下跌已经对其财政造成了沉重打击，今年前10个月的预算收入同比下降了20%。 ...

一船液化天然气便宜1600万美元，亚洲基准价打六折，俄罗斯正通过大幅降价向中国抛售天 然气，背后是俄能源经济的深深无奈。 "北极液化天然气2号"项目的液化天然气售价下调三至四成，中国买家以比亚洲基准价低3至4美元的价 格购入。这是自今年8月以来，俄罗斯液化天然气巨头诺瓦泰克公司向中国抛售受制裁货物的场景。 与此同时，克里姆林宫内，俄高层正连夜商讨对华能源合作新策略。十月底，俄罗斯总理米舒斯京紧急 访华，重点推动中俄能源"采购折扣新模式"，旨在说服中国增加俄罗斯石油和天然气的进口量。 中俄之间的天然气博弈，正因西方制裁的加剧而悄然改变着格局。 价格腰斩，俄罗斯能源出口的艰难抉择 俄罗斯对华天然气价格确实出现了大幅下降。根据俄媒披露的数据，2025年俄对华天然气价格低至每千 立方米247.3美元，比同期对欧洲售价低39%。如此价差，在俄能源贸易史上实属罕见。 大幅降价让中国买家获得了实实在在的优惠。单船液化天然气价格从市场价的4400万美元降至2800万至 3200万美元，每船货比市场价少卖一千多万美元。前三个月交付的14船货，俄罗斯账面就少赚了快两亿 美元。 俄罗斯的折扣策略有其明确的计算。经济发展部资料显示， ...

Core Viewpoint - The total U.S. national debt has surpassed $38 trillion, raising questions about the sustainability of this debt and the implications for global investors, particularly China [2][9]. Group 1: U.S. National Debt Dynamics - The U.S. government continues to issue new debt to pay off old debt, leveraging the dollar's status as the world's primary reserve currency [3][7]. - Approximately 90% of global trade is settled in U.S. dollars, creating a strong demand for U.S. Treasury bonds among global investors [5][6]. - The U.S. Treasury does not need to deplete its reserves to repay the $38 trillion; it can simply roll over the debt as long as global confidence in the dollar remains intact [7][11]. Group 2: Risks and Challenges - The first significant risk is the "debt ceiling crisis," where political disagreements in Congress could lead to government shutdowns, potentially undermining confidence in U.S. debt [9]. - The second risk involves the rapid growth of debt outpacing economic growth, which could threaten the credibility of the dollar if interest payments become unsustainable [11].
