-- 傑富瑞（Jefferies）週二在一份報告中指出，鑑於保單持有人成長通常在第四財季最為顯著，預計Medibank Private（ASX：MPL）將實現其2026財年的業績預期。 截至2025年12月的12個月內，該公司居民保單持有人增長率為2.3%，高於行業平均2.1%，這意味著即使競爭加劇，其市場份額仍將有所增長。 第三財季的理賠成長與產業平均一致。 Medibank在本財年的前九個月中，根據合作計畫向私立醫院支付了3,930萬澳元，而2025財年同期為3,660萬澳元。 其理賠成長與近期行業趨勢相符，並受益於積極的理賠管理。該公司預計2026財年每份保單的理賠成長率將比上年同期成長2.6%至2.9%。 該投資公司維持對 Medibank 的「持有」評級，並將目標價從 4.90 澳元上調至 5.15 澳元。

EMEA Natural Gas Update: Futures Slip Amid Strong Renewables Output, Mild Weather
European natural gas futures opened lower on Wednesday with no major advances in the US-Iran conflict, while relatively strong renewables output displacing gas-fired generation and mild weather averting consumption from air conditioning were among influences.Dutch TTF futures were down 2.2% to 45.88 euros ($53.83) per megawatt hour while UK NBP futures fell 2.9% to 111.7 British pence ($1.52).ANZ Senior Commodities Analyst Daniel Hynes said in a daily update that cooler European temperatures and strong renewables output were one reason why its benchmark futures prices were not currently climbing.US President Donald Trump said in a social media post on Tuesday that he was pausing Project Freedom or the escort of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, at the request of mediator Pakistan and "other countries" while the US would continue to block access in and out of Iranian ports.Trump said that Project Freedom "will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed," in reference to a deal he is seeking with Iran, with the abandonment of its nuclear enrichment ambitions chief among his demands.Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump said that while higher, he said energy prices had not risen that dramatically and he said the higher prices were "a very small price to pay," to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.He said Iran's economy meanwhile was on the verge of collapse with galloping inflation, army salaries unpaid and a worthless currency. Trump also reiterated that Iranian negotiatorscontinued to engage keenly with the US behind the scenes while telling the public no such engagement was taking place.Analysts have grown somewhat immune to such messages with no significant progress on the single most pressing issue - the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz through which 20% of the world's oil and LNG-gas supplies flowed prior to the conflict.
