-- 美國能源部週四發布了第四份戰略石油儲備（SPR）緊急原油交換招標書，擬從中調撥至多9,250萬桶原油。此舉旨在履行其釋放1.72億桶原油的承諾，而國際能源總署（IEA）此前已協調了4億桶原油的釋放計劃。 這四份招標書不僅確保原油能夠迅速投放市場，還將確保在原油歸還時獲得24%的溢價，即額外增加的原油量。前三份緊急交換招標書共調撥了約8,000萬桶原油。 據能源部稱，此次SPR原油交換是在中東衝突導致供應中斷後啟動的，是近50年來速度最快、規模最大的一次。 最新的原油交換將從Bayou Choctaw、Bryan Mound、Big Hill和West Hackberry油田調撥SPR原油。 美國能源部表示：“根據能源部的交換授權，參與公司將歸還借入的9250萬桶原油，並額外支付溢價，以確保戰略石油儲備（SPR）在現有水平之上繼續增長，同時為煉油廠和全球石油市場提供即時供應。” 戰略石油儲備交換申請將於美國中部時間5月4日上午11:00截止。

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%
