8月27日(路透社)——据知情人士透露,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普预计将于下周会见美国炼油商和燃油零售商,以强调降低汽油价格的相关举措。当前伊朗战争推高了油价,特朗普政府正试图在11月国会中期选举前缓解消费者面临的压力。
特朗普及其所在的共和党面临着极高的政治风险,他们正努力在11月的选举中保住国会的微弱多数席位。与伊朗的战争越来越不受欢迎,而不断上涨的汽油价格可能会破坏特朗普2024年竞选时提出的降低生活成本的承诺。路透社/益普索的民调显示,特朗普的支持率已降至33%,仅有31%的美国人认可这场冲突。

据两位知情人士透露,本次会议的参会者预计将包括瓦莱罗能源公司(VLO.N)、马拉松石油公司(MPC.N)和PBF能源公司(PBF.N)等炼油商,以及大型燃油零售商。
美国最大的石油公司和炼油商公布了强劲的第二季度收益,原因是伊朗战争扰乱了全球能源市场,收紧了汽油和其他精炼产品的供应。
这些业绩遭到了特朗普的批评,他认为受益于高油价的石油公司应该采取更多措施为消费者降低成本。特朗普已公开敦促大型石油生产商和炼油商下调油价。

这场冲突通过扰乱霍尔木兹海峡的能源运输推高了石油和汽油价格。在2月28日爆发的这场战争之前,全球20%的石油都要通过该海峡运输。美国普通汽油价格已突破每加仑4美元,比一年前高出约1美元,给即将参加中期选举的选民带来了格外明显的经济负担。
冲突爆发初期,油价一度飙升至每桶112美元,但随着该海峡的航运部分恢复,原油价格随后有所回落。

Aug 27 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump is expected to meet with U.S. refiners and fuel retailers next week to highlight efforts to lower gasoline prices, as his administration seeks to ease pressure on consumers from the Iran war ahead of November’s congressional midterm elections, people familiar with the matter said.
The political stakes are high for Trump and his fellow Republicans, who are trying to defend narrow majorities in Congress in November. The war with Iran has become increasingly unpopular, while higher gasoline prices threaten to undercut Trump’s 2024 campaign promise to bring down the cost of living. Reuters/Ipsos polling shows Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 33%, with just 31% of Americans approving of the conflict.

Attendees of the meeting are expected to include refiners like Valero Energy Corp (VLO.N), Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC.N) and PBF Energy Inc (PBF.N), along with major retailers, according to two sources familiar with the plans.
The biggest U.S. oil companies and refiners reported strong second-quarter earnings as the Iran war disrupted global energy markets and tightened supplies of gasoline and other refined products.
Those results have drawn criticism from Trump, who has argued that oil companies benefiting from higher prices should do more to bring down costs for consumers. Trump has publicly pressed major producers and refiners to lower prices.

The conflict has pushed up oil and gasoline prices by disrupting energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil flowed before the war that began on February 28. U.S. regular gasoline has been above $4 a gallon, roughly $1 more than a year ago, creating an especially visible economic burden for voters heading into the midterms.
Oil prices surged as high as $112 a barrel earlier in the conflict, although crude has since retreated as shipping through the strait has partially resumed.
