-- 週三,香港股市收低,市場質疑伊朗和美國是否即將達成和平協議,儘管美國總統川普同意延長與德黑蘭的停火協議。 恆生指數下跌約324.24點,跌幅約1.2%,收在26,163.24點;恆生中國企業指數下跌141.76點,跌幅約1.6%,收在8,801.78點。 川普總統表示,在伊朗提出統一的和平協議方案之前,美國將不會恢復對伊朗的軍事打擊,但美國海軍將繼續封鎖霍爾木茲海峽。路透社先前通報稱,伊朗先前拒絕參加在伊斯蘭堡舉行的和平談判,除非美國放棄施壓和威脅政策。 由於美國副總統萬斯尚未離開華盛頓,伊斯蘭堡的會談能否取得進展尚不明朗。 同時,惠譽評級最近的報告指出,亞太地區的農業化學品發行商有能力應對中東衝突導致的運費、燃料和投入成本上漲,以避免短期評級承壓。 惠譽預計,供應鏈中斷在短期內不會對發行商的信用狀況造成足夠大的影響,尤其是在營運彈性和地理多元化方面。 在公司新聞方面,港鐵(HKG:0066)完成了其首次港元公開發行債券的定價,這也是香港市場上最大的債券發行。 這家公共運輸業者發行了188億港元的企業綠色債券,採用三期發行結構,包括83億港元的五年期2.88%債券;75億港元的十年期3.30%債券;以及30億港元的30年期4%債券。
