-- 根據多家媒體報道，阿聯酋週二宣布將於5月1日起退出歐佩克和歐佩克+。 《海灣時報》報道稱，阿聯酋在對其國內生產政策以及當前和未來產能進行評估後，決定退出這個對油價影響巨大的組織。該組織每月召開會議，共同決定產量。 報道稱，阿聯酋退出歐佩克的其他原因還包括國家利益以及在當前地緣政治動盪時期滿足市場迫切需求的承諾。 文章指出，阿聯酋於1967年加入歐佩克，並在維護全球石油市場穩定和促進產油國之間的對話方面發揮了重要作用。 根據媒體報道，阿聯酋退出歐佩克後，將根據市場需求和狀況，逐步穩定地提高產量。 阿聯酋能源部長蘇海爾·馬茲魯伊告訴路透社，政府在做出退出歐佩克的決定之前沒有與任何其他國家進行磋商。他表示，這項決定將賦予阿聯酋更大的靈活性，使其能夠調整能源產品的生產、儲存和運輸方式。已聯繫阿聯酋能源部尋求評論。

Kimberly-Clark First-Quarter Results Top Views; Full-Year Outlook Affirmed
Kimberly-Clark (KMB) reported better-than-expected first-quarter results and maintained its full-year outlook Tuesday, while the consumer goods maker flagged potential incremental input cost headwinds of up to $170 million in the second half due to elevated oil prices.The Kleenex tissues maker's adjusted earnings attributable to the company rose to $1.97 a share for the March quarter from $1.93 a year earlier, which was the consensus on FactSet. Net sales improved 2.7% to $4.16 billion, topping the Street's view for $4.09 billion.The company's shares were up 1.1% in Tuesday afternoon trade. So far this year, the stock has lost 1.6% in value.Kimberly-Clark said it continues to expect full-year adjusted EPS from continuing operations to grow at a double-digit rate, while adjusted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark are still seen flat, both on a constant-currency basis.The company also continues to expect 2026 organic sales to grow in line to ahead of the weighted average growth in the categories and countries it competes, which for the latest 12 months grew at roughly 2.5%, it said.Kimberly-Clark could face gross incremental input cost headwinds of between $150 million and $170 million in the second half of the year, if oil prices stay at the $100 a barrel level, Chief Financial Officer Nelson Urdaneta said in prepared remarks on the company's website.Energy prices have soared following the US-Israel war with Iran that started at the end of February, with the Strait of Hormuz -- the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows -- effectively closed. The conflict paused following a recent ceasefire between the US and Iran and later between Israel and Lebanon.Kimberly-Clark's first-quarter international personal care business revenue climbed 9.1% to $1.51 billion, buoyed by organic sales growth of 4% and favorable currency impacts. Sales in North America fell 0.6% to $2.65 billion, driven by a 2.7% headwind from the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the US, partially offset by organic sales growth of 1.8%."We continued to deliver solid volume-plus-mix performance while building share momentum despite continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty," Chief Executive Mike Hsu said in a statement. "We continue to generate meaningful cost savings that reinforce our strong financial foundation and enable us to invest in our exciting future."For the second quarter, Kimberly-Clark expects to incur a $50 million headwind related to a recent fire at its Ontario, California, distribution center, "as well as some incremental costs due to the conflict in the Middle East," Urdaneta said. "We expect to fully mitigate these costs in the second half of the year with the many levers available within our integrated margin management capabilities."Price: $99.40, Change: $+1.15, Percent Change: +1.17%
