-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場（RBC Capital Markets）週一重申了對Seabridge Gold（SEA.TO，SA）股票的「跑贏大盤」評級，並維持其71.00美元的目標價，此前該公司即將分拆Valor Gold。 Seabridge近期更新了其位於西北地區的Courageous Lake專案分拆計劃。特別股東投票定於5月22日舉行，預計6月完成交易。 根據計畫安排，Seabridge將以每股7.29加元的價格認購分拆後公司Valor Gold的70萬股股份，總對價為510萬加元。 此外，Seabridge還將獲得一項權益流，允許該公司在未來季度黃金平均價格高於每盎司4000美元的情況下，以每盎司4000美元的固定價格購買未來季度黃金產量的10%，以換取5430萬股Valor股份和490萬加元的預付款。 分拆完成後，Valor預計將保留1000萬加元現金以支援專案開發。 獲得批准後，Seabridge將以1:1.953的比例向股東分配5,500萬股Valor Gold股份，這意味著每股估值為21.10加元。 Valor Gold已申請在多倫多證券交易所和美國OTCQB市場上市。

Update: WTI Rises as Progress on Ending the Iran War Stalls; the UAE Ends Its OPEC Membership

(Updates prices and adds UAE's Withdrawal from OPEC in the final two paragraphs.)West Texas Intermediate (WTI) closed higher on Tuesday, with the U.S. benchmark price flirting with the US$100 per barrel for the first time in three weeks as hopes for an end to the war on Iran fade and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.WTI crude oil for June delivery closed up US$3.56 to settle at US$99.93 per barrel as it failed to hold the US$100 mark it topped during the session, while June Brent oil was last seen up US$2.58 to US$110.81.Weekend talks expected to be held in Pakistan between Iran and the United States failed to take place, while a Monday proposal from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in return for lifting a U.S. blockade of its ports and deferring talks over its nuclear program was rejected by President Trump.Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz after the United States and Israel launched attacks on the country on Feb. 28. The Strait is the chokepoint for 20% of daily global oil demand supplied by Persian Gulf nations and its closure has produced the largest-ever supply shock, pushing up oil prices by 49% since the start of the war."Oil extended its rally ... amid no signs of progress toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz, where US and Iranian blockades have reduced daily transits to near zero. Warnings over the severity of the global supply squeeze continue to intensify, with tightness in refined fuel markets already pushing diesel and jet fuel prices toward USD 200 per barrel," Saxo Bank noted.The closure of the Strait has pushed up spot price for oil, as the Asian nations that rely on Gulf producers compete for available barrels. Rising prices have heightened inflation and raises the risk of a global recession as the lack of supply forces demand destruction and chokes off economic growth."Alarm bells will ring loudly if the SoH (Strait of Hormuz) doesn't reopen during May. Spot crude and product prices will trade higher and higher. And if a decent reopening doesn't take place before June/July, then the risk is significant for a real crisis where the world may be forced to reduce its oil consumption closer to the level of availability," Bjarne Schieldrop, chief analyst commodities at SEB Research, wrote.Also on Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates, the No.3 OPEC producer and the No.7 global oil exporter, said it will withdraw from OPEC on May 1, freeing itself from the cartel's quota system that restricted its output well below its production capacity."We reaffirm our appreciation for the efforts of both OPEC and the OPEC+ alliance and wish them success. During our time in the organisation, we made significant contributions and even greater sacrifices for the benefit of all. However, the time has come to focus our efforts on what our national interest dictates and our commitment to our investors, customers, partners and global energy markets," the country's government said in a release.
