-- 美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔周三在新闻发布会上表示，他将在5月15日任期结束后继续留在美联储理事会一段时间。他指出，鉴于近期美联储遭受的攻击，并表示“过去三个月发生的事情让我别无选择，只能留任，至少要等到那时才能结束。” 司法部已暂停对鲍威尔在美联储总部改建期间担任主席期间的行为的调查，但如果美联储监察长发现不当行为，调查可能会重新启动，这带来了不确定性。 鲍威尔说：“我曾说过，在调查彻底、透明、最终结束之前，我不会离开理事会，我坚持这一立场。我对近期的进展感到鼓舞，并将密切关注这一过程的后续步骤。” 鲍威尔表示，他决定留任与政治无关，而是出于对特朗普政府近期攻击美联储的担忧。 鲍威尔表示：“我的主席任期将于5月15日结束，之后我将继续担任美联储理事，具体任期待定。我计划保持低调，因为美联储只有一个主席。” 他补充道：“我会在我认为合适的时机卸任。” 在会议上，联邦公开市场委员会决定维持目标利率在3.50%至3.75%的区间不变，但有一位委员赞成降低政策利率，另有三位委员赞成消除声明中偏向宽松政策的倾向。

Capstone Copper Q1 Profit Jumps Nearly 12-Fold, Beats Estimates On Higher Copper Prices
Capstone Copper (CS.TO) after the close Wednesday reported a nearly 12-fold surge in first-quarter adjusted net income as higher copper prices boosted earnings, with results topping analysts' estimates.The company posted record adjusted net income attributable to shareholders , excluding most one-time items, of US$94.8 million, or US$0.12 per share, up from US$8.1 million, or US$0.01 per share, a year earlier. The result exceeded FactSet analysts' estimate of US$0.11 per share.Capstone said the increase was driven by stronger earnings from mining operations, supported by higher realized copper prices.Revenue for the three months ended March 31 rose to US$652.5 million from US$533.3 million in the prior-year period, beating FactSet analysts' estimate of US$647.5 million.The company also reported record adjusted EBITDA of US$329.1 million for Q1 2026, up from US$179.9 million a year earlier, primarily due to higher realized copper prices, which rose 36% to US$5.92 per pound, and supported by stronger gold and silver prices. This marked the sixth consecutive quarter of record adjusted EBITDA, the company said.In its 2026 production outlook, the company issued guidance of 200,000 to 230,000 tonnes of copper and C1 cash costs guidance of $2.45 to $2.75 per payable pound of copper remains unchanged. 2026 capital expenditure, capitalized stripping, and exploration expenditure guidance is also unchanged."We continue to monitor and manage the impacts stemming from the conflict in the Middle East. To date we have not experienced any inventory or operational impacts, however cost pressures, notably from higher diesel and sulphuric acid prices, represent a headwind," Capstone said.The company said its MV Optimized Project progressed according to plan during Q1 2026 and the capital cost estimate of US$176 million is unchanged. MV Optimized is a capital-efficient brownfield expansion project providing incremental copper and gold production of approximately 20,000 tonnes and 6,000 ounces of gold per annum, respectively."For the remainder of 2026, we are focused on operational execution and continuing to advance our high-return organic growth opportunities, including executing the Mantoverde Optimized Project, advancing Santo Domingo to a sanctioning decision, and progressing our exploration strategy centered around district-scale growth. Despite recent geopolitical volatility, copper prices remain strong and fundamentals support continued momentum, reinforcing our ability to deliver significant value through our peer-leading growth pipeline," chief executive Cashel Meagher said,Company's shares closed down $0.21 to $10.84 on Toronto Stock Exchange.
