Saudi Aramco's pricing for Arab Light crude in May is expected to rise significantly, potentially reaching around $40 per barrel, up from $2.50 in April. According to NS3.AI, this adjustment comes as the ongoing Iran conflict disrupts regional benchmarks used for monthly contracts. Some Asian refiners have requested Saudi Aramco to consider alternative pricing links, such as Brent futures, Shanghai oil futures, or other regional crude grades. Negotiations are still underway, and traders have indicated that a premium near $40 per barrel could lead to reduced procurement volumes.

On March 30, TotalEnergies achieved over $1 billion in profits from Middle Eastern spot crude oil purchases and derivative strategies, influenced by escalating tensions in the region and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. According to BlockBeats, the company secured approximately 70 shipments of UAE and Oman crude oil scheduled for May, doubling its procurement scale from February. This move established TotalEnergies as a dominant player amid declining market liquidity, driving Dubai crude prices from around $70 per barrel to $170 per barrel. Industry experts highlight TotalEnergies' strategic use of concentrated holdings and paper market tools like futures and options to exert significant influence on pricing. The high oil prices have increased cost pressures for Asian buyers and further disrupted the existing crude oil pricing system.

由于伊朗战争使沙特原油的常规定价陷入混乱，随着油价飙升，焦虑的亚洲买家正试图引导该国转向替代性的供应定价机制。沙特阿美正在敲定 5 月份装船石油的成本，价格表预计将在几天内送达买家手中。据交易员称，基于区域基准的常规价格计量，其旗舰产品阿拉伯轻质原油的溢价预计将飙升至每桶约 40 美元的前所未有的水平，而 4 月份的溢价仅为 2.50 美元。沙特阿美的月度合约价格通常设定为相对于基础基准的价格差，该基准由标普全球能源评估的迪拜价格以及海湾商品交易所的阿曼原油期货组成。交易员表示，一些亚洲炼油商已经要求沙特阿美将其原油与布伦特期货挂钩，但也有其他替代方案被提出。这包括使用上海期货交易所的油价，然后扣除运输和其他相关成本，甚至参考阿联酋的上扎库姆等其他原油。从沙特阿拉伯定期进口原油的炼油商交易员表示，沙特阿美与客户之间的谈判仍在进行中，尚未做出最终的定价决定。他们补充称，如果溢价水平设定在每桶 40 美元左右，可能会导致采购量减少。(金十)

Bitget 研究院首席分析师 Ryan Lee 表示，2026 年第二季度，市场走势仍将高度受到地缘政治局势的牵引，尤其是其对能源市场和全球流动性的持续扰动。若紧张局势进一步升级，并对亚洲原油供应造成实质性冲击，布伦特原油价格或维持在每桶 120 美元以上。这将进一步推升通胀预期，并使全球市场的宏观金融环境维持偏紧状态。Ryan 指出，若高油价持续时间超出市场预期，资金配置或将进一步转向防御性资产。在这一背景下，流动性收紧与风险偏好回落，可能继续压制数字资产整体表现。其中，比特币或下探至 55,000 美元附近，以太坊则可能测试 1,500 美元区域。他进一步强调，随着能源成本上升，其对收益率预期、投资组合调整以及跨市场资本流动的影响正在不断增强，这也使原油价格成为影响加密资产第二季度表现的关键外部变量之一。
