-- 美國財政部長貝森特週一在接受福克斯新聞採訪時表示，他敦促中國就伊朗問題採取行動，因為緊張局勢的焦點集中在霍爾木茲海峽。 貝森特說：「中國，讓我們看看他們能否採取一些外交手段，促使伊朗開放海峽。」他敦促北京加大對伊朗的壓力，要求其重新開放霍爾木茲海峽。 貝森特補充說，中國購買了伊朗約90%的能源，“他們正在資助最大的恐怖主義國家支持者”，並呼籲中國發揮更積極的作用。 他敦促中國支持美國領導的確保霍爾木茲海峽航運安全的國際努力。 貝森特表示，美國總統川普和中國國家主席習近平將在5月14日至15日於北京舉行的峰會上討論伊朗問題，同時保持穩定的雙邊關係。 他表示，兩國領導人在去年10月釜山貿易休戰後建立了穩定的關係，並補充道：“我們之間的關係一直非常穩定……這源於兩國領導人彼此的高度尊重。” 美國啟動了代號為「自由行動」的海軍任務，動用驅逐艦、飛機和無人機為船隻護航。貝森特表示：“伊朗的襲擊威脅導致海峽關閉；我們正在重新開放它。” 貝森特強調，美國控制著這條水道，並指出：“我們明確表示，伊朗人無法控制海峽。我們絕對控制海峽。” 貝森特表示，衝突造成的全球石油缺口約為每日800萬至1,000萬桶，並指出每艘通過霍爾木茲海峽的油輪約有200萬桶石油。 他表示，每天有四到五艘船出港即可彌補運力缺口，並補充說，目前仍有150到200艘船可供使用，市場供應充足。 貝森特說：“伊朗經濟正處於自由落體式下滑之中。”他還補充說，儘管官員聲稱經濟具有韌性，但他們的部隊“不會容忍拿不到工資”，這凸顯了日益嚴重的財政壓力。已聯繫美國財政部尋求評論。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和猜測。準確性無法保證。）

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of Weyerhaeuser Company
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our 12-month target price at $21, 39.6x our 2027 EPS estimate, a discount to WY's three-year average forward P/E of 59.7x based on the outlook for depressed profitability in 1H 2026. We increase our 2026 adjusted EPS by $0.05 to $0.16 and decrease 2027 by $0.17 to $0.53. We note that lumber pricing momentum is positive, driven by mills shutting down over the past two years, which has created vacant supply while waiting for prices to increase. Management noted that the housing market is stuck in second gear with repair and renovation activity currently lacking a clear catalyst for growth. Export markets remain more challenged that last year due to elevated Japanese inventories and increased export costs due to higher energy prices. We believe WY remains overleveraged with lower profitability impacting cash flow generation this year with stronger lumber price realizations likely to increase supply and reduce potential EPS growth for WY in the long term.
