-- 美國總統川普週五表示,一旦伊朗衝突結束,汽油和石油價格預計將大幅下跌。 「這場戰爭結束後,汽油、石油以及所有東西的價格都會暴跌,」川普說。 川普是在新聞發布會上發表上述言論的,當時他正在向記者介紹正在進行的美伊談判。 「戰爭結束後,汽油價格將會暴跌,因為現在有大量石油已經裝載到油輪上,而這些油輪無法駛出霍爾木茲海峽,」川普說,並補充說汽油價格可能會跌至歷史新低。 美國總統形容美國海軍的封鎖「令人難以置信」。 「封鎖令人難以置信,威力強大,百分之百令人難以置信。如果我們現在撤軍,我們將取得一場巨大的勝利,但我們不會這樣做,我們會與他們談判,」川普說。 關於調解努力,川普表示巴基斯坦方面取得了進展,但能否很快達成協議仍不明朗。 「他們(巴基斯坦)一直在與我們合作,但這次訪問行程很長,我們目前正在盡一切努力進行談判,包括電話談判。他們取得了一些進展,但我並不確定最終能否達成協議。」他說。 關於伊朗目前的局勢,川普表示該國領導層「四分五裂」。 「存在著巨大的分歧……他們彼此之間相處困難……這是一個非常分裂的領導層。」川普在描述談判面臨的挑戰時說。 他補充說,伊朗希望達成協議,但分裂的領導層損害了談判前景。他說,伊朗的領導層分為“兩到三個派系,或許四個”,這凸顯了阻礙達成統一協議的分歧。 據報道,伊朗週四透過巴基斯坦提交了一份新的提案。 根據伊朗官方Telegram消息,伊朗外長阿巴斯·阿拉格奇表示,如果美國改變其所謂的“擴張主義做法”和“威脅性言論”,德黑蘭仍願意通過外交途徑解決問題。 他表示,如果華盛頓調整立場,伊朗隨時準備繼續對話,同時警告稱,伊朗軍隊已做好充分準備,對任何威脅或侵略行為予以果斷回應。 美伊衝突已進入第三個月,幾乎封鎖了霍爾木茲海峽,導致海上交通中斷。儘管雙方仍在進行遠端溝通,但由巴基斯坦斡旋的談判最初以失敗告終。 布蘭特原油下跌2.2%,至每桶108.01美元;西德州中質原油下跌3.1%,至每桶101.87美元,反映出地緣政治不確定性和持續的美伊緊張局勢對油價帶來的持續壓力。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of Invesco Ltd.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $2 to $29, valuing IVZ shares at 9.5x our 2027 adjusted EPS estimate of $3.05 and at 10.9x our 2026 EPS estimate of $2.65 (lowered today by $0.05), versus the one-year average forward multiple of 10x and a bifurcated peer average of 16x. Invesco delivered Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.57, missing our $0.62 estimate but near the $0.58 consensus, while posting its 11th consecutive quarter of positive organic growth with $21.8B in net long-term inflows. Investment management fees surged 25.6% Y/Y to $1.38B due to the QQQ conversion benefits and higher average AUM, though service fees declined 18.6% due to QQQ's structural changes. We view the QQQ conversion as materializing as expected, contributing meaningfully to revenue growth while demonstrating IVZ's ability to capture more fee revenue from its flagship product. Currently trading at 9.7x our 2026 EPS estimate and yielding 3.3%, we view the shares as undervalued.
US Oil Update: Futures Slide on Hopes for US-Iran Talks, Hormuz Reopening
Crude oil futures retreated in after-hours trading on Friday after reports that Iran had sent a new peace proposal to the US via Pakistani mediators, easing fears of a further supply disruption from the Middle East and raising hopes for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.Front-month West Texas Intermediate crude futures slipped by 2.45% to $102.50 per barrel, while Brent futures were down by 1.21% to $109.06/bbl.On Friday, President Trump sent letters to Congress explaining that, due to the ceasefire, he doesn't need its authorization for military operations in Iran, even though the conflict hit the 60-day mark this week."On April 7, 2026, I ordered a 2-week ceasefire. The ceasefire has since been extended. There has been no exchange of fire between United States Forces and Iran since April 7, 2026. The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated," Trump said in letters to the House and the Senate.Trump said that despite the success of US operations against Iran and continued efforts to secure peace, the threat posed by Tehran to the US and its forces remains significant.The IRGC Navy command said it will enforce "new rules" over waters near Iran's coast in the Arabian Sea and the Hormuz, making it "a source of security and prosperity for the region."Iran reportedly sent its latest proposal for negotiations with the US to Pakistani mediators on Thursday, according to media reports, as Trump threatens to maintain the blockade of Iranian ports amid behind-the-scenes diplomacy to end the Middle East conflict.The US reportedly sent its list of amendments on Monday to reinsert the nuclear issue into the agreement under discussion, with one of the amendments demanding that Iran commit to not attempting to move any enriched uranium.On Friday, the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control said it could sanction vessels that pay tolls to Iran for safe transit through the Strait of Hormuz, even if those payments are made in the form of charitable donations to Iranian NGOs.The Department said Iranian demands for toll payments may include fiat currency, digital assets, offsets, informal swaps, or charitable donations made to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Bonyad Mostazafan, or Iranian embassy accounts.Traffic through the Hormuz was cut by half on April 30 to seven crossings from the previous day, with traffic split between four commercial and three non-commercial movements, according to Kpler.
Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Rating On Shares Of Illumina
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month price target to $161 from $140, 31x our 2026 EPS estimate (up to $5.18 from $5.13; 2027 estimate up to $5.89 from $5.81), a premium to ILMN's one-year historical forward average of 24x. We were encouraged by ex-China organic sales rising ~3.5% Y/Y in Q1, while adjusted operating margin rose 150 bps Y/Y to 21.9%. We look positively on recent Congressional action to modestly increase the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget (~1%) rather than the dramatic cuts initially feared by investors, though ILMN's guidance implies continued pressure in academic end markets in 2026. Excluding China, sequencing consumables within research and applied was down 12% Y/Y in Q1, though clinical consumables sales rose 20% Y/Y. Positively, ILMN placed over 80 NovaSeq X instruments (up 20 Y/Y) during the quarter, indicating strong momentum.
