-- 英国央行维持基准利率在3.75%不变,并重申将随时准备采取行动,应对中东持续不断的战争推高能源成本并加剧通胀风险。 英国央行货币政策委员会以8比1的投票结果决定维持利率不变,唯一投反对票的首席经济学家休·皮尔(Huw Pill)支持将利率上调25个基点至4%。根据周四发布的消息,皮尔认为实现英国央行2%通胀目标的“风险明显上升”。在3月份的上次会议上,该委员会一致投票决定维持利率不变。 根据英国国家统计局的最新数据,英国3月份年通胀率从上月的3%升至3.3%,剔除能源价格的核心通胀率则从3.2%小幅下降至3.1%。 英国央行预计,受能源价格飙升的影响,2026 年下半年通胀率将走高,而“实质性”的第二轮影响将对价格和工资设定构成风险。具体而言,英国央行工作人员目前预计,总体通胀率将在第二季度平均降至 3.1%,然后在第三季度回升至 3.3%。 鉴于全球能源价格的高度不确定性及其对国内通胀的潜在影响,英国央行制定了三种情景来评估战争可能对英国经济产生的影响。在最糟糕的情景 C 中,由于预期通胀率将达到 6.2% 的峰值并长期高于目标水平,银行利率将在 2027 年第一季度升至 5.25%。 “如果冲击似乎是短暂的,或者经济疲软,政策应更加注重避免不必要的经济活动萎缩。如果第二轮影响可能更大,政策应侧重于更快地将通胀率恢复到目标水平,”英国央行行长安德鲁·贝利表示。 货币政策委员会表示,将密切关注中东局势,并随时准备采取必要措施,确保通胀率在中期内保持在符合英国央行2%目标的轨道上。

Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Lithia Motors Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target by $25 to $375, based on a 2027 P/E of 9.0x, a modest discount to LAD's 10-year forward P/E of 10.3x. We reduce our adjusted EPS estimates to $35.30 from $39.25 for '26 and to $41.80 from $43.20 for '27. Following LAD's Q1 earnings beat, we are lowering our estimates and price target but reiterating our Strong Buy on the shares. LAD remains our top pick in auto retail, as the company continues to outperform in a more challenging environment for dealerships. LAD's same-store-sales growth is outperforming peers by a wide margin and its combination of aggressive share repurchases and accretive acquisitions is helping support its bottom line. Impressively, LAD bought back ~4% of total outstanding shares in Q1 after retiring 11% of its share count in 2025. We find LAD's current risk/reward compelling with significant upside potential in a more favorable demand environment, continuing to view the long-term growth story as intact and noting management's history of solid execution.

Adjusted Q1/26 EPS absorbed a $91Mln withholding-tax charge, of which $65Mln relates to taxes payable in future quarters tied to repatriation of Mauritania cash flows.

Kinross repurchased $250.1Mln in shares in Q1/26 (plus $50Mln in April) and reaffirmed its 40%-of-FCF return-of-capital target.
