-- 根據多家新聞媒體週一援引美國常駐聯合國代表麥克沃爾茲的話報道,美國和幾個海灣阿拉伯國家正在準備一項新的聯合國安理會決議,旨在譴責伊朗在霍爾木茲海峽的行動。 這項決議草案是在華盛頓上個月試圖爭取安理會支持但遭到俄羅斯和中國阻撓之後提出的。 先前的提案旨在尋求更廣泛的國際支持,以恢復這條戰略水道的航行自由。此前,伊朗為回應美國和以色列的轟炸行動而限制了該水道的航運。 據報道,沃爾茲表示,新決議的談判正在與巴林共同進行,科威特、卡達、阿聯酋和沙烏地阿拉伯也參與其中。 美國常駐聯合國代表團尚未回覆MT Newswire的置評請求。 預計該決議草案將呼籲伊朗停止攻擊商船,並放棄在霍爾木茲海峽徵收過境費的企圖。該倡議還將要求德黑蘭停止部署水雷,並提供已佈設水雷的資訊。 沃爾茲稱,新倡議的範圍比先前的提案更為有限,並強調其重點在於海上安全。他指出,該草案出台之際,正值伊朗與阿聯酋達成停火協議之時。 沃爾茲表示:“這項倡議更加側重於在國際水道布雷和徵收通行費,這影響著世界各國的經濟,尤其是亞洲經濟體。” 此外,海灣合作委員會秘書長傑西姆·穆罕默德·阿爾布達維譴責伊朗「公然攻擊兄弟國家阿聯酋」。此前,伊朗飛彈於週一襲擊了阿聯酋一個重要的石油港口和數艘船隻。

Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Aptargroup, Inc.
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 at $149, 26.8x our 2026 EPS estimate, a premium to its three-year average forward P/E of 26.5x. We trim our 2026 EPS view by $0.12 to $5.56 and decrease our 2027 EPS by $0.15 to $6.40. The injectables division continues to validate our thesis, with 20% Y/Y growth in Q1 as management actively works to increase capacity so the division can expand further. We note that emergency medicine faces a $65M headwind in 1H 2026 as it destocks from prior inventory, which led to flat Q1 core sales and weaker gross margins. Management is confident its pharma growth will expand beyond GLP-1 to both systemic nasal drug delivery and pulmonary biologics. Margin weakness and an unfavorable mix in the Beauty segment are temporary, with normal margins returning in 2H 2026 in our view. We continue to believe ATR is poised to capture significant growth in the biologics markets. ATR could face higher raw material costs as supply chains become stretched due to uncertainty in the Middle East.

Wesfarmers (ASX:WES) has agreed to enter a 50:50 joint venture with Built Group to establish Built Living, a new Australian business dedicated to delivering residential apartments at scale through advanced manufacturing, with Wesfarmers initially committing up to AU$100 million of equity, according to a Tuesday Australian bourse filing.The company said Built Living will use Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) methods, aiming to deliver apartments at about 20% lower cost and 50% faster than traditional construction, with a facility to be established in Western Australia expected to support the delivery of more than 2,000 apartments annually once completed.Construction of the facility is expected to commence in the second half, with the Western Australian Government supporting the establishment through a long-term lease of land in the Neerabup Automation and Robotics Precinct and direct support for facility development, the filing added.The company added that a portion of the facility's annual capacity will be used for government-backed housing projects and the state's social infrastructure pipeline, with the establishment of Built Living also expected to create growth opportunities for Wesfarmers' existing businesses, including through supply arrangements with Bunnings' trade business.Built Living will operate as a standalone company with equal board representation for Wesfarmers and Built, once Wesfarmers has fully deployed its initial AU$100 million commitment, the company said.The company added that the investment is not expected to have a material impact on its earnings in the current financial year.
