-- 週一盤後交易中,原油期貨價格上漲。此前,美國軍方發起行動,護送商船通過霍爾木茲海峽,此舉引發伊朗對阿聯酋及試圖穿越該水道的船隻發動飛彈和無人機攻擊。 近月西德州中質原油期貨上漲3.14%,至每桶105.14美元;布蘭特原油期貨上漲5.46%,至每桶114.08美元。 週一,阿聯酋國防部表示,伊朗向該國發射了12枚彈道飛彈、3枚巡航飛彈和4架無人機。富查伊拉媒體辦公室在X網站上發布消息稱,伊朗無人機襲擊導致該市石油工業區發生大火。 據報道,這次無人機襲擊的目標是富查伊拉的VTTI石油碼頭,同時,德黑蘭加大了在霍爾木茲海峽附近的打擊力道。 據當地媒體報道,一位伊朗高級軍官表示:“伊朗並無預謀襲擊富查伊拉石油設施。此次事件是由於美國軍事冒險主義,企圖非法穿越霍爾木茲海峽的禁航區所致。” 先前,川普總統週日宣布,美軍將從週一開始嘗試恢復霍爾木茲海峽的通行,並幫助滯留船隻離開這條戰略水道。 美國中央司令部週一表示,兩艘懸掛美國國旗的商船已通過霍爾木茲海峽,並補充說,軍方正在積極努力恢復商業航運。 同時,美軍也摧毀了六艘伊朗小型船隻,並攔截了德黑蘭發射的巡弋飛彈和無人機。華盛頓方面隨即展開行動,旨在疏導霍爾木茲海峽的航運。 「我們擊落了七艘小艇,或者像他們喜歡稱呼的那樣,『快艇』。這是他們僅剩的武器了。除了那艘韓國船隻外,目前為止,沒有其他船隻通過霍爾木茲海峽。」川普總統在Truth Social網站上發文說。 然而,伊朗革命衛隊表示,沒有任何商船或油輪通過霍爾木茲海峽,並駁斥了美國的說法,稱其「毫無根據,純屬捏造」。 此前,阿聯酋指責伊朗襲擊了一艘隸屬於其國有能源公司阿布達比國家石油公司(ADNOC)的船隻,當時該船正試圖通過霍爾木茲海峽。 ADNOC旗下的物流與服務公司在社群媒體上發文表示:“事發時,該船並未載有任何貨物。” 在伊朗革命衛隊海軍發布一份地圖,聲稱將擴大德黑蘭在穆罕默德海峽附近控制的區域,將阿聯酋的富查伊拉港和霍爾法坎港以及烏姆蓋萬酋長國的海岸線納入其中之後,伊朗對阿聯酋發動了襲擊。 同時,歐佩克+在周日舉行的自其關鍵成員阿聯酋退出以來的首次會議上,同意將石油日產量提高18.8萬桶。阿布達比國家石油公司(ADNOC)董事總經理兼集團執行長蘇爾坦·賈比爾表示,退出歐佩克使其更有能力加速投資和擴張。 荷蘭國際集團(ING)策略師表示:「鑑於預計其中55%的增產將來自波斯灣產油國,這項增產目標不太可能實現。」他們還補充說,在穆罕默德海峽持續動盪的情況下,增產不太可能發生。

Research Alert: Duolingo: Strong User Growth Supports Q1 Beat
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:DUOL delivered solid Q1 results with revenue climbing to $292M and EPS of $0.89 versus $0.72 in the prior year, driven by 31% subscription revenue growth to $251M and 15% advertising growth to $21M. Operational efficiency improved notably with adjusted EBITDA advancing 33% to $83.4M (28.6% margin, +140 bps) while free cash flow reached $147.8M. The company's AI-powered content creation capabilities enabled publication of 20,500 course units - nearly triple the 2025 run rate - supporting 21% DAU growth to 56.5M and paid subscriber expansion to 12.5M. Management targets FY bookings of $1.28B (+10.5%), revenue of $1.2B (+16.1%), and adjusted EBITDA of $310M (25.7% margin). We expect continued momentum from AI-driven features and expansion into chess, math, and music, though anticipate gross margin compression from 71.0% to ~69.0% by Q4 as AI capabilities broaden. We believe DUOL's medium-term goal of 100M DAUs by 2028 remains achievable given strong user engagement trends and content innovation capabilities.
