By

-- 美國運通全球商務旅遊（American Express Global Business Travel，簡稱GBTG）週一同意被Long Lake Management收購並私有化，交易金額約63億美元，全部以現金支付。 美國運通全球商務旅行的股東將獲得每股9.50美元的現金，較該公司上週五的收盤價溢價約60%。 受此消息提振，該公司股價週一上漲約58%，年初至今累計漲幅約22%。 美國運通全球商務旅行首席執行官保羅·阿博特（Paul Abbott）在一份聲明中表示：“這項協議為我們的股東帶來了極具吸引力的結果，讓他們以可觀的溢價獲得可觀且確定的現金價值。” 該交易尚需獲得美國運通全球商務旅行股東的批准以及監管機構的許可，預計下半年完成。包括美國運通 (AXP)、Expedia (EXPE) 和貝萊德 (BLK) 在內的持有該公司 69% 股份的實體已同意投票贊成該交易。 交易完成後，美國運通全球商務旅行的股票將不再公開交易。 Long Lake 執行長 Alex Taubman 表示：“商務旅行的未來將由人工智慧和人工客服無縫協作，為每位旅客提供服務。美國運通全球商務旅行將與 Long Lake 合作，繼續大力投資於這些能力。” Long Lake 計劃透過現有投資者提供的股權和已承諾的債務融資來為此次收購提供資金。 此外，美國運通全球商務旅行公佈的第一季淨利潤為每股 0.10 美元，低於去年同期的 0.16 美元。營收成長 35% 至 8.4 億美元，而 FactSet 調查的四位分析師先前預期為 8.16 億美元。 該公司表示，由於Long Lake擬對其進行收購，因此暫停發布財務指引。

US Oil Update: Crude Gains After Iran Attacks UAE, Disrupts Hormuz Shipping

Crude oil futures jumped in midday trading on Monday, supported by Iranian drone attacks on an UAE energy facility and commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a move that threatens to derail fragile ceasefire talks and further choke global energy supplies.Front-month West Texas Intermediate crude futures climbed by 3.24% to $105.19 per barrel, while Brent futures advanced by 5.15% to $113.71/bbl.On Monday, Iran attacked several commercial vessels in the Hormuz and reportedly hit Fujairah's VTTI oil terminal, which is jointly owned by IFM Global Infrastructure Fund, Vitol and Adnoc.Fujairah's Media Office said in a post on X that a large fire was caused at an oil industrial zone in the city after a drone attack from Iran. The UAE's Defense Ministry said on Monday that Iran had launched four cruise missiles at the country, three of which were successfully engaged by the country's air defenses.The US military reportedly destroyed six Iranian small boats and intercepted Iranian cruise missiles and drones fired by Tehran as Washington launched an operation to free up shipping via the Hormuz.However, in an X post on Monday, Trump said seven boats were shot down. "We've shot down seven small boats or, as they like to call them, "fast" boats. It's all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait," President Trump said in a post on Truth Social.Trump said on Sunday that the US military would try to restore transit via the Strait starting Monday and help stranded vessels exit the strategic waterway.Saxo Bank strategist Trump said the US would help guide ships through the strategic waterway, raising hopes that some disrupted flows could resume.Earlier, the UAE accused Iran of attacking a vessel affiliated with its state energy firm Adnoc as it attempted to transit the Strait. "The vessel was not carrying any cargo at the time of the incident," Adnoc Logistics & Services, a unit of Adnoc, said in a social media post.The attack on the UAE comes after Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy issued a map it said was expanding the areas under Tehran's control near the Strait to include the UAE's ports of Fujairah and Khorfakkan, as well as the coast of the UAE's emirate of Umm Al Quwain.On the supply front, OPEC+ agreed on Sunday to increase oil output by 188,000 barrels per day at the cartel's first meeting since the loss of its key member, the UAE."This increase is unlikely to be realised, given that 55% of it is expected to come from Persian Gulf producers," ING strategists said, adding that this won't happen amid ongoing disruptions in the Strait.Sultan al Jaber, managing director and Group CEO at Adnoc, said the UAE's exit from OPEC gives it greater ability to accelerate investment and expand.

Update: WTI Oil Moves Higher on Escalating Middle East Violence

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil closed higher Monday in volatile as traders eye escalating violence in the Persian Gulf.WTI oil for June delivery closed up US$4.48 to settle at US$106.42 per barrel, while July Brent oil was last seen up US$6.53 to US$114.70.Iran attacked the United Arab Emirates oil port of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman, which has allowed the country to continue exporting oil while the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. The Wall Street Journal reported Iran also fired missiles at U.S. warships and commercial vessels.Iran's Fars News Agency also reported Iranian forces struck a U.S. warship with two missiles to prevent it from moving into the Strait, which Iran blocked at the Feb. 28 start of the war, cutting off 20% of the world's oil demand supplied by Persian Gulf nations. However, The Guardian reported U.S. Central Command dismissed the report, while continuing the blockade of Iranian ports.U.S. President Trump in a weekend social media post said the U.S. would begin escorting ships trapped in the Gulf through the Strait, but offered no details on the scheme. The Wall Street Journal reported Trump "intends to use countries, insurance companies and shipping organizations to move traffic through the strait. It doesn't currently involve U.S. Navy warships escorting vessels through the waterway", citing two U.S. officials. The uncertain details of the plan has done little to lower prices, which have climbed by about half since the conflict began."The market remains fragile because the plan's implementation is uncertain, and Kuwait's oil exports reportedly falling to zero underlines how severe the regional supply disruption has become," Saxo Bank wrote.
