-- 据彭博社周二报道，加州燃油监管机构已向一些收取异常高价且拒不配合调查的加油站发出传票。 加州石油市场监管局（DPMO）表示，他们的目标是那些“高价可能并非由投入成本上涨所致”的零售商。 报道称，DPMO局长泰·米尔德表示：“我们担心一些零售商可能会利用冲突作为借口抬高零售价格。”他还补充道：“我们在乌克兰战争后也看到过类似的情况。” 据彭博社报道，米尔德称，该机构联系的加油站已将价格下调了“每加仑50美分或更多”。

New Zealand's Q1 Unemployment Rate Aligns With Reserve Bank Projection, ANZ Says
New Zealand's unemployment rate fell 0.1 percentage point to 5.3% in the first quarter, aligning with the Reserve Bank's February projection, according to a report released by ANZ on Wednesday.The unemployment rate was slightly lower than ANZ's expectation of 5.4%, per the report.Despite this decline, the underlying data revealed weaker-than-expected employment growth of 0.2% quarter on quarter and a slight fall in the labor participation rate.Meanwhile, wage growth remained stable and consistent with target inflation levels.While employment, hours worked, and paid hours all expanded in the quarter and landed in the ballpark of ANZ's first-quarter gross domestic product forecast of 0.8% quarter on quarter, the data is viewed as a "look in the rearview mirror" with recent global oil price shocks shifting the outlook.Figures indicate a labor market that was recovering in alignment with Reserve Bank forecasts before the oil shock, but offer very little insight into the labor market's future path.
