美伊戰爭風險再浮出水面,阿聯酋股市上漲

By

-- 儘管投資人因擔憂美伊衝突升級而採取避險策略,阿聯酋股市在周五最後一個交易日仍收漲。 週五收盤時,富時ADX綜合指數上漲0.110%,而杜拜金融市場綜合指數漲幅略顯平淡,僅上漲0.014%。 多家媒體通報稱,伊朗威脅稱,如果美國決定再次發動攻擊,伊朗將打擊美國陣地。受此消息影響,油價週五上漲。先前,Axios的一篇報導指出,美國總統川普將聽取針對伊朗採取新軍事行動的簡報。 「我們即將迎來另一個充滿不確定性的周末。許多人認為,5月1日星期五是美伊兩國就某種協議達成協議的關鍵一天。然而,目前各方對此的希望正在逐漸渺茫,這可能導致局勢再次朝著武力衝突的方向發展。這對市場來說並非好事,市場更希望盡快重新開放海峽,最終達成的國際協議並不理想。 截至阿聯酋時間下午3點21分,布蘭特原油期貨價格接近每桶110.89美元,較前一日上漲0.44%。 同時,阿聯酋中央銀行推出了一項服務,允許非居民遊客使用其旅遊身分開設數位銀行帳戶。該服務由阿聯酋中央銀行與聯邦身分、公民、海關和港口安全局以及阿布達比商業銀行(ADX:ADCB)合作推出。 企業方面,Pure Health(ADX:PUREHEALTH)公佈第一季歸屬於母公司股東的利潤下降。這家在阿布達比上市的醫療保健服務公司股價收盤上漲0.47%。 另一方面,杜拜金融市場(DFM:DFM)同期歸屬於母公司股東的利潤躍升至1.777億阿聯酋迪拉姆,這得益於其營收年增36%。該交易所營運商的股價收盤上漲0.70%。 展望下週,當地經濟將迎來4月的標普全球採購經理人指數(PMI)報告。該指數3月跌至52.9。

Pegasystems Poised for Growth Acceleration With Blueprint Platform, Wedbush Says

Pegasystems (PEGA) is poised to accelerate annual contract value growth and meet its 2026 free cash flow target as Blueprint, its low-code workflow-design platform, plays a larger role in early customer engagement, Wedbush Securities said Friday in a report.Wedbush said it is "incrementally more bullish" following discussions with Pegasystems executives and the recent pullback in shares appears "overblown."Blueprint is simplifying how Pegasystems works with prospective customers by helping them design and visualize use cases during initial meetings, historically a costly hurdle for the company, Wedbush said. The platform's ease of use supports expectations that new customers will drive about 15% of subscription-contract growth in fiscal 2026, up from 10% previously, the report said.On costs, Pegasystems has taken a "methodical approach" to stock-based Compensation, keeping it in the 8% to 9% range of revenue and prioritizing consistency rather than tying compensation to fluctuating stock prices, Wedbush said. That discipline should support sustainable free cash flow generation despite broader software-sector pressures, the report said.Wedbush maintained its outperform rating on Pegasystems stock with a price target of $60.Price: $36.53, Change: $-0.02, Percent Change: -0.05%
