美国能源部长克里斯·赖特13日说，预计油价在今后一段时间仍将维持高位，甚至可能进一步攀升。此前，赖特为安抚市场情绪，对外一直宣称油价可能很快回落。

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on the 13th that oil prices are expected to remain high for some time to come and may even rise further. Previously, in an attempt to calm market sentiments, Wright had been consistently claiming that oil prices might fall soon.

赖特当天在美国首都华盛顿举行的一场经济论坛上表示，只有霍尔木兹海峡航运出现“实质性”恢复迹象，油价才可能回落，而这一变化可能在“数周后”发生。

Wright stated at an economic forum held in Washington, the capital of the United States, that only when there are "substantial" signs of recovery in the shipping of the Strait of Hormuz would oil prices be likely to fall, and this change might occur "in a few weeks".

赖特13日还提及委内瑞拉石油生产情况，称自1月3日以来已有1.5亿桶委内瑞拉石油售出。

Wright also mentioned the situation of Venezuela's oil production on the 13th, stating that since January 3rd, 150 million barrels of Venezuelan oil have been sold.

2026年1月3日凌晨，美军突袭委内瑞拉，强行控制委内瑞拉总统马杜罗及其夫人并把他们带到美国。特朗普随后称，美国将“管理”委内瑞拉直至实施“安全”过渡，美大型石油企业将大举进入委内瑞拉投资。

On the early morning of January 3, 2026, the US military carried out a raid in Venezuela, forcibly taking control of Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife and bringing them to the United States. Trump later stated that the US would "manage" Venezuela until a "safe" transition is implemented, and major US oil companies would significantly increase their investment in Venezuela.

受中东局势影响，国际油价大幅飙升。国际货币基金组织、世界银行和国际能源署13日呼吁各国不要囤积能源或管控出口，以避免进一步冲击当前紧张的能源供应。

Affected by the situation in the Middle East, international oil prices have soared significantly. The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the International Energy Agency called on all countries not to hoard energy or control exports in order to avoid further impact on the current tight energy supply.
