据美国油价网2022年6月10日报道，全球最大的独立原油交易商之一的托克公司日前公布，托克公司在截至今年3月31日的前6个月里实现了创纪录的净利润，原因是爆发军事冲突以后引发的市场动荡和波动推高了大宗商品的价格。
在截至3月底的前6个月里，托克公司净利润为27亿美元，与上一财年同期相比增长了27%，创历史新高。
统计数据显示，托克公司在此期间的营业收入跳增了73%至1706亿美元，这是因为大宗商品价格上涨及成交量增加。
托克公司表示，由于托克公司希望帮助客户在困难时期重新订购供应链，该公司的交易量全线上升。因此，与去年上半年相比，原油和石油产品销售量增加了14%，达到了日均730万桶，而有色金属销售量增加了16%，大宗矿物销售量增加了13%。
托克公司执行总裁兼首席执行官Jeremy Weir表示，托克公司并不认为市场形势会很快好转。他说，“由于需求继续超过供应，整个金属和能源市场的大宗商品库存都处于危险的低水平”。托克尚未看到其主要交易板块石油和金属的实物需求放缓。强劲的需求“表明未来一段时间大宗商品市场吃紧，并导致价格上涨” 。
托克公司首席执行官表示：“为了满足未来的需求，并支持正在进行的能源转型，能源、矿产和金属的生产、加工和运输将需要大量投资。”
托克公司首席经济学家萨阿德·拉希姆在谈到全球大宗商品市场时表示：“ 亚洲的复苏可能有利于全球经济增长，但鉴于大宗商品库存已经非常低，在某些情况下是前所未有的低，价格将如何反应仍有待观察。通货膨胀已经出现问题，但亚洲对大宗进口商品的需求可能会进一步刺激通胀压力。”

Trafigura Books Record Profits In Volatile Oil Market
Trafigura, one of the world’s largest independent oil traders, reported on Friday a record-high net profit for the six months ended March 31, as the market turmoil and volatility following the war drove commodity prices sky-high.
Trafigura booked a net profit of $2.7 billion for the six months to end-March, a record high result which was up by 27 percent compared to the same period of the previous financial year.
Revenues jumped by 73 percent to $170.6 billion due to the higher commodity prices and the volumes Trafigura traded.
Trafigura’s trading volume increased across the board as the trader looked to help customers to reorder their supply chains in challenging times, the company said. As a result, oil and petroleum products volumes increased by 14 percent compared to the first half of 2021, to an average of 7.3 million barrels per day (bpd), while non-ferrous metals volumes grew by 16 percent and bulk minerals volumes by 13 percent.
Trafigura does not expect the challenging market conditions to go away anytime soon, Executive Chairman and CEO Jeremy Weir said.
“Commodity inventories are at perilously low levels across metals and energy markets as demand continues to outstrip supply ,” Weir noted.
Trafigura doesn’t yet see a slowdown in physical demand for oil and metals, its principal trading segments, Weir said. Robust demand “points to a tight market for commodities and heightened prices for some time to come.”
“Significant investment will be required to produce, process and transport energy, minerals and metals to meet future needs and support the ongoing energy transition,” Trafigura’s top executive said.
Commenting on the global commodity markets, Saad Rahim, Trafigura’s Chief Economist, said:
“A resurgent Asia might be good for global economic growth, but given that commodity inventories are already extremely, and in some cases unprecedently, low, it remains to be seen how prices might react from here. Inflation is already problematically elevated, but Asian demand for commodity imports could further spur inflationary pressures.”
