-- 週三收盤前,美國股市漲跌互現,市場猜測伊朗將延長為期兩週的停火協議,為華盛頓和德黑蘭達成持久和平協議鋪路。 那斯達克指數上漲1.5%,收23,991.7點;標普500指數上漲0.8%,收在7,023.3點。然而,道瓊工業指數下跌0.2%,收在48,453.9點。 根據彭博社引述一位知情人士的消息報道,美國和伊朗正在考慮延長為期兩週的停火協議,以便就和平協議進行談判。這位知情人士告訴彭博社,調解人正在尋求技術性會談,以解決最具爭議的問題——霍爾木茲海峽的重新開放和伊朗的核計劃——這些問題可能會阻止達成一項期限超過下週的協議,因為最初的停火協議將於下周到期。 根據路透社報道,川普表示,與伊朗的戰爭已接近結束,並告訴全世界準備迎接「令人驚嘆的兩天」。同時,作為調解方的巴基斯坦陸軍參謀長抵達德黑蘭,試圖阻止衝突再次爆發。報道稱,巴基斯坦軍方證實,陸軍元帥阿西姆·穆尼爾已抵達德黑蘭。一位伊朗高級消息人士告訴路透社,穆尼爾曾斡旋了上一輪會談,這次前往伊朗是為了「縮小」雙方之間的分歧。 西德州中質原油期貨下跌0.5%,至每桶90.84美元;布蘭特原油期貨下跌不到0.1%,至每桶94.75美元。此前,西德州中質原油和布蘭特原油期貨均上漲1%。 在交易尾盤,科技、非必需消費品、通訊服務和金融板塊領漲。工業和原料板塊則下跌。 公司新聞方面,摩根士丹利(MS)公佈的第一季業績強於預期,投資銀行和交易活動的強勁增長幫助公司收入創下歷史新高。
