中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博新闻社2023年4月7日报道， 瑞士著名大宗商品贸易商贡沃尔集团(Gunvor Group Ltd.)去年获得净利润增加了两倍多，达到了创纪录的23.6亿美元，成为最新一家在原材料价格极度波动的情况下公布业绩的大宗商品交易商。

贡沃尔集团周三在泛欧交易所发布的年度业绩显示，在联合创始人亿万富翁托比约恩·托恩奎斯特的领导下，贡沃尔集团维持了“限制性股息政策”，并在过去一年中将股本增加了72%，达到了52.9亿美元。

去年，突发地缘政治冲突及烽火余波颠覆了全球能源和大宗商品市场的交易平稳态势。贡沃尔集团、托克集团、维多集团和摩科瑞能源集团等交易商利用一些商品价格飙升至前所未有水平的套利机会，获得了创纪录的净利润。

贡沃尔集团在业绩报告中表示：“这种独特的经济和市场形势使大宗商品交易商受益匪浅。”

尽管如此，银行和经纪商要求增加抵押品的追加保证金要求仍对该行业造成了冲击，贡沃尔集团是石油和液化天然气的主要交易商，由于欧洲天然气和原油的现货交易受到抑制，该公司去年的交易量下降了31%，降至1.65亿吨。

Gunvor Made Record $2.4 Billion Profit in 2022

Gunvor Group Ltd.’s net profit more than trebled last year to a record $2.36 billion, making it the latest commodity trading house to post stellar earnings amid extreme volatility in prices for raw materials.

The company, led by billionaire co-founder Torbjorn Tornqvist, maintained a “restrictive dividend policy” and increased its equity by 72% over the course of the year to $5.29 billion, it said in annual results released on the Euronext exchange Wednesday.

The war and the sanctions on oil and gas have upended trading in energy and commodities markets. Traders including Gunvor, Trafigura Group, Vitol Group and Mercuria Energy Group have reaped record profits, capitalizing on arbitrage opportunities as prices for some goods spiked to unprecedented levels. 

“This unique economic and market situation benefited commodities traders,” Gunvor said in its results.

Still, the industry was buffeted by margin calls from banks and brokers asking for more collateral. Gunvor, a major trader of oil and liquefied natural gas, saw its trading volumes drop 31% to 165 million tons during the year, as it curbed spot trading in European natural gas and crude oil.
