标普预测,中东战争持续将导致亚太地区15%的企业信用质量走弱。

-- 标普全球评级周四发布报告称,中东冲突导致的长期能源供应中断将削弱亚太地区15%受评企业的信用状况。 在这种不利情景下,这一比例高于标普基于冲突即将结束的基本假设预测的9%。 标普表示,最易受不利情景影响的行业包括化工、下游油气、航空、汽车、工程和建筑以及建材。 该评级机构预计,能源储备日益减少的国家将首当其冲受到影响,补贴措施虽然可以延缓部分影响,但最终仍会给这些国家的财政状况带来压力。 标普指出,石油冲击的影响在不同国家甚至同一行业的企业之间都会有所不同。 然而,标普表示,供应链多元化、库存管理和及时的成本转嫁应有助于各行业稳定信用质量。

Clinuvel Unlikely to Seek Scenesse's Vitiligo Approval Before Phase 3 Completion, Says Jefferies

Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals (ASX:CUV) is unlikely to seek regulatory approval for Scenesse in vitiligo until the Phase 3 CUV105 and CUV107 clinical trials are completed, according to a Friday Jefferies note.The company said on Friday that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has proposed evaluating the company's Scenesse drug for the treatment of systemic vitiligo based on a "totality of evidence" regulatory approach.Jefferies said that the EMA's decision is a positive for the company because of the high unmet medical need for Vitiligo treatment.The investment firm has pushed back its revenue expectations from Scenesse in vitiligo, which is now expected to begin in the second half of fiscal 2029 rather than fiscal 2028.Jefferies kept a buy rating on Clinuvel and cut its price target to AU$39.20 from AU$40.50.
