美國採取行動保護霍爾木茲海峽航運,緊張局勢不斷升級

By

-- 美國中央司令部司令布拉德利·庫珀海軍上將在其官方社交媒體帳號(Centcom’s X page)上發表聲明稱,美國已與數十艘船隻和航運公司聯繫,鼓勵其通過霍爾木茲海峽。 庫柏在聲明中寫道:「過去12小時內,我們已與數十艘船隻和航運公司聯繫,鼓勵其通過霍爾木茲海峽,這與總統幫助引導船隻安全通過這條狹窄貿易通道的意圖相符。」他還補充說,目前在海灣地區運營的船隻來自全球87個國家。 在隨後的另一篇聲明中,他表示,美軍正在幫助國際社會恢復全球貿易流通,而伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊(IRGC)則「竭盡所能地恐嚇和威脅商船」。 他說:“我們在霍爾木茲海峽及其周邊地區集中了大量的軍事能力和火力。” 中央司令部先前在周一發布的官方社群媒體帳號(X page)上表示,將從週一開始為通過霍爾木茲海峽的商船提供支援。 此前,美國總統唐納德·川普週日表示,美國將於週一開始採取行動,「幫助」他聲稱無法通過霍爾木茲海峽的船隻「脫困」。他將這項名為「自由行動」的計劃描述為對受影響國家請求的回應。他稱這些船隻屬於「中立且無辜的旁觀者」。 美國中央司令部週一表示,美軍正積極努力恢復商業航運。 「作為第一步,兩艘懸掛美國國旗的商船已成功通過霍爾木茲海峽,目前正安全繼續航行。」中央司令部在其網站上發布消息稱。 中央司令部還表示,作為「自由行動」的一部分,美國海軍的「海鷹」直升機和美國陸軍的「阿帕奇」直升機已部署在霍爾木茲海峽,「用於清除威脅商業航運的伊朗小型船隻」。 根據彭博社報道,庫柏表示,伊朗在過去12小時內試圖幹擾該地區的船隻,美軍擊退了無人機和飛彈襲擊。 據報道,他還表示美國擁有“明顯優勢”,並補充說,美國將繼續全力維持對伊朗船隻的封鎖。 同時,根據伊朗半官方通訊社塔斯尼姆通訊社報道,伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊週一宣佈在霍爾木茲海峽設立新的海上控制區,加劇了這條全球最重要航道之一的緊張局勢。 據報道,革命衛隊稱已在該水道劃定了所謂的“智能控制區”,其邊界從伊朗的穆巴拉克山延伸至阿聯酋富查伊拉南部,從格甚姆島延伸至烏姆蓋萬。 這項宣布正值霍爾木茲海峽海上安全問題引發區域和國際摩擦加劇之際,全球相當大一部分石油運輸都要經過該海峽。 根據新聞報道,伊朗否認美國船隻穿越霍爾木茲海峽,並稱一艘美國軍艦在海峽南入口附近的賈斯克港附近遭到兩枚飛彈襲擊,被迫放棄穿越嘗試。 塔斯尼姆通訊社報道稱,伊朗軍方官員警告外國不要幹預。伊朗哈塔姆·安比亞中央司令部司令阿里·阿卜杜拉希少將表示,任何外國軍事存在,特別是美軍,如果接近或進入該區域,都將成為打擊目標。 他還補充說,伊朗將「堅定維護」霍爾木茲海峽的安全,並敦促商船和油輪在試圖通過海峽前與伊朗武裝部隊協調,以避免危險。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Dte Energy Company

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $3 to $165, reflecting a 20.7x forward P/E on our next-12-month EPS estimate. We lower our 2026 EPS view by $0.05 to $7.76 and raise our 2027 EPS view by $0.01 to $8.40. In March 2026, DTE executed a 1 GW data center agreement with Google and filed contracts with the MPSC for approval; a decision is expected by September 2026. The Google data center agreement complements the previously approved 1.4 GW Oracle project. The agreement is structured to deliver approximately $1.7B in affordability benefits for existing customers over the contract life, while requiring Google to pay the full cost of energy usage, including all related infrastructure investments. DTE intends to pause future electric rate requests for at least two years following its most recent request, dependent on the Oracle data center coming online by 2027. On a compound annual basis from 2025 to 2028, we anticipate approximately 7.5% EPS and 6.8% dividend growth, highly competitive with multi-utilities peers.

National Australia Bank's Asset Quality Risks Build, But Demand Remains Solid, Says Jefferies

National Australia Bank (ASX:NAB) is facing rising asset quality risks as it posted a downbeat half-yearly result, Jefferies said Monday in a note, adding that demand remains resilient and costs are being managed.The bank reported a 26% decline in fiscal 2026 first-half cash earnings to AU$2.64 billion, missing Jefferies' estimate by 3%.The investment firm reduced its fiscal 2026 and 2028 EPS estimates by 1%, citing lower earnings from liquid assets and higher impairment charges for potential loan losses, partly offset by stronger profit margins.Jefferies said that investors are concerned about the bank's exposure to small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) in an uncertain macro environment. NAB is also setting aside more provisions for bad loans than its peers, which is impacting its returns by more than 1%.However, the brokerage continues to see an attractive risk-reward on the profile. Despite recent share underperformance, margins are expected to improve in the second half of the year.Jefferies maintained its buy rating on National Australia Bank but cut its price target to AU$46.98 from AU$47.73.
