Lumen 科技如何利用人工智能帮助节省 10 亿美元的网络成本

(SeaPRwire) -   就在前年感恩節前的周末,Lumen Technologies總裁兼執行長Kate Johnson,撥打電話給當時的Nationwide技術長Jim Fowler,討論這家電信公司招聘新高階技術主管一事。 Fowler自2023年起便擔任Lumen的董事,他很快就意識到,他和Johnson的對話並非董事與執行長一同討論接班計畫,而是他正在被挖角。 不到兩週後,Fowler離開任職超過七年的保險商Nationwide,加入Lumen(於500大企業排名第325名)出任技術與產品長,他立即卸下董事職位,接任這項C-suite職務。他接替Dave Ward的職務,後者擔任兩年CTO後於一月離職,轉任軟體巨擘Salesforce的總裁兼首席架構師。 身為網際網路、雲端、IT與通訊科技服務供應商的Lumen,正推動由Johnson主導的策略轉型,Fowler便是在此時加入Lumen領導團隊;Johnson在短暫退休後,於2022年加入Lumen。她一直以來專注於降低Lumen的債務負擔,並縮小營運聚焦,優先服務私人企業與公共部門組織。Lumen將消費者光纖業務以57.5億美元出售給AT&T,對這兩項目標都帶來幫助。這項交易在二月完成交割,Lumen已表示將運用約48億美元的出售收益償還債務。 另一個核心重點領域,就是Fowler要負責的任務:Lumen早在2024年就對華爾街承諾,將在2027年底前從網路業務達成10億美元的年化營運節省規模。Fowler表示,AI正是「我們達成這項目標的核心關鍵」。 他補充說道:「我們每一位高階主管都有一個明確要達成的目標。法務部門的重點是導入AI輔助的應用程式,加快合約流程;行銷部門則研究如何運用AI打造更個人化的行銷素材。」 對於Fowler領導的技術團隊,他的目標是將新產品開發週期縮短50%。Fowler說:「這就是我的團隊要努力邁進的目標。」 在Fowler適應新職位的過程中,Lumen內部技術策略的許多環節都讓他印象深刻。他表示,前任主管對雲端運算有明確遠見,而且AI領域也已經出現值得期待的進展。超過90%的Lumen員工都擁有Microsoft Copilot授權,這項工具被用於各種用途,包含會議協助、策略擬定與研究。 Lumen的工程師使用AI編碼輔助工具GitHub Copilot,且獲授權可在OpenAI、Anthropic等不同供應商的AI模型之間切換。Fowler表示,因此他觀察到,部分任務如應用程式轉平台的生產力,最高提升了50%。 他表示,自己發現的一塊「璞玉」是,Lumen的工程團隊已經開發出代理式AI框架,並已部署至整間公司。員工可以在Lumen打造的內部專屬儀表板上,建構自己的AI代理。員工可運用OpenAI、Anthropic、Google等供應商的大型語言模型,部署客製化AI代理,公司鼓勵他們探索那些他們認為能以最具效率的成本產出最佳成果的模型。 Fowler就任新職還不到90天,已經標記出幾個未來要優先推動的專案。其中包含現代化Lumen因為過去透過併購成長留下的零散營運系統。為了從Lumen的AI投資中萃取最大價值,Fowler的團隊必須持續改寫與重建這些系統。 其他專案包含擴展實體層。Lumen計畫將地底鋪設的光纖長度增加一倍以上,從現今的超過1700萬英里,在未來兩年提升至超過4700萬英里。再來則是數位層,透過代理式AI輔助的客戶服務,讓客戶更容易申辦Lumen的各項服務。 Fowler說:「這是一間經營滿50年的網路基礎建設公司。讓它像科技公司一樣思考,建立能隨客戶需求擴展的軟體開發與工程流程,是我上任頭兩個月以來的核心任務。」 John Kell 如果有任何想法或建議,請在此聯繫CIO Intelligence.本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

什麼是「停止賭注法案」? 美國民主黨人士擬禁止 Polymarket 和 Kalshi 上的戰爭賭注

TLDR 民主黨議員 Greg Casar 和 Chris Murphy 提出《BETS OFF Act》,旨在禁止在預測市場上對戰爭、暗殺和恐怖主義事件下注 該法案的提出,是由於Polymarket上出現與潛在美以攻擊伊朗相關的「高度異常投注」所觸發 參議員Murphy暗示,可能是有政府內部消息的人士進行了這些投注 一名《以色列時報》記者收到來自Polymarket用戶的死亡威脅,試圖影響其報導以贏得賭注 該法案不太可能很快通過,因為共和黨控制著國會兩院,且對該立法表現出興趣缺缺 (SeaPRwire) -   兩位美國民主黨議員提出了一項法案,旨在禁止在Polymarket和Kalshi等預測市場平台上進行某些類型的投注。 BREAKING: Democrats have introduced the 'BETS OFF Act' This bans government officials from betting on prediction markets when they have insider knowledge of outcomes. pic.twitter.com/pp9jfeX41e — Crypto Rover (@cryptorover) March 17, 2026 德克薩斯州眾議員 Greg Casar 和康乃狄克州參議員 Chris Murphy 於週二宣布了《禁止敏感行動與聯邦職能事件交易法》(Banning Event Trading on Sensitive Operations and Federal Functions)——簡稱《BETS OFF Act》。 該法案將禁止對與戰爭、恐怖主義和暗殺相關的事件進行交易。同時也將禁止對任何非金融的政府事件進行交易,如果某人提前知道結果或能控制該事件。 A single secret account made $500,000 off of betting precisely right when Trump would go to war with Iran. We have a corruption crisis in America, and new prediction markets are making it worse. Today, @ChrisMurphyCT and I introduced a bill to crack down on this corruption. pic.twitter.com/niLg9GnC5V — Congressman Greg Casar (@RepCasar) March 17, 2026 此舉是針對Polymarket上出現的幾筆「高度異常投注」,這些投注預測美國和以色列將對伊朗採取軍事行動。 參議員Murphy在3月4日表示,很可能是擁有關於川普總統計畫「內部消息」的人士進行了這些投注。 「我們不應該生活在一個國家裡,讓坐在戰情室裡的人……可以因為某個決定而押上數十萬美元,」Casar說。 因新聞報導而收到的死亡威脅 當《以色列時報》的一名軍事記者報告收到死亡威脅時,爭議進一步加深。這些威脅來自Polymarket用戶,他們希望他更改關於以色列一次飛彈襲擊的報導——以便他們能贏得賭注。 Polymarket譴責了這種行為,並表示其違反了服務條款。 《BETS OFF Act》是近幾週內提出的第二項預測市場法案。加州參議員 Adam Schiff 上週提出了《DEATH BETS Act》,該法案同樣針對戰爭和暗殺合約。 平台現狀 Polymarket仍然列出關於伊朗衝突的活躍合約,包括美國地面入侵的可能性、停火時間表以及伊朗領導層的變動。截至週二,該平台顯示美國與伊朗在5月31日前停火的機率為50%。 Kalshi則已收手。在因一個關於伊朗最高領袖 Ayatollah Khamenei 何時下台的市場引發反彈後,它不再提供與特定軍事行動或死亡相關的合約。Kalshi在其死亡被確認後宣布這些投注無效,該平台現在面臨交易者就這些款項支付提起的集體訴訟。 參議員Murphy也對預測市場更廣泛的文化提出了質疑,他問道,當道德問題變成金融賭注時,在「精神層面」上意味著什麼。 《BETS OFF Act》在國會面臨艱難的挑戰。共和黨控制著參議院和眾議院。Murphy承認這個議題缺乏兩黨支持,部分原因是川普總統與預測市場平台有財務上的聯繫。 亞利桑那州檢察長也已對Kalshi提出指控,指控該平台作為未經許可的賭博服務運營。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Illuminance announces global expansion and launch of its international platform

TORONTO, ON, March 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Illuminance has announced its entry into the international market simultaneously with the launch of its global platform, built on its own computational infrastructure powered by a distributed network of quantum nodes (Quantum Node). The platform is designed to support scalable operations across global financial markets, with a focus on high-frequency analytics and automated data processing.The modern economic landscape demands a fundamentally new type of infrastructure — one that goes beyond traditional financial products. With its international launch, Illuminance positions itself not as a standalone platform, but as a next-generation computational layer for the evolving financial ecosystem.At the core of this architecture is the Quantum Node — a distributed computational unit that forms the foundation of the entire system. These nodes are responsible for processing large volumes of market data, performing parallel analytical operations, and enabling high-speed decision-making across the network.Each quantum node contributes to the platform's overall computational power, allowing the system to dynamically scale as the network grows. This distributed approach ensures low latency, high throughput, and stable data processing even under heavy loads.The infrastructure is supported by the Illuminance Grid, which serves as the coordination layer. It synchronizes data flows between quantum nodes, manages task distribution, and aligns AI-based models in real time. Importantly, neither the grid nor the quantum nodes store users' funds or execute financial transactions directly — their role is strictly limited to computation and analysis, providing a clear separation between capital and infrastructure.This architecture enables Illuminance to overcome key limitations of both centralized and decentralized systems, particularly in areas such as high-frequency analytics and real-time market data processing. By separating financial execution from computational intelligence, the platform can operate at scale without overloads, making it highly effective for applications like automated crypto arbitrage.The system is built for continuous expansion. As more quantum nodes are integrated into the network, the platform's analytical capabilities grow, delivering deeper market insights and more efficient trade execution in global trading environments.The launch of the international platform marks a significant strategic milestone, positioning Illuminance as a provider of cutting-edge computational infrastructure for next-generation financial systems.About IlluminanceIlluminance is a technology company developing a high-performance computational layer for global financial markets. Its architecture is based on a distributed network of quantum nodes, complemented by the Illuminance Grid coordination system. Together, they form an infrastructure inspired by quantum technologies and optimized for automated crypto arbitrage. The platform focuses on real-world AI applications to ensure speed, scalability, and resilience in complex market conditions.Media Contact:corporate@illuminanceglobal.comhttps://illuminanceglobal.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

從機器人技術到AI智能體,黃仁勳在GTC大會上的主題演講釋放出了初創企業不容忽視的信號

(SeaPRwire) -   Jensen Huang 的 Nvidia GTC 盛會,可說是科技界的超級盃中場秀。 每個人都想參與其中,而如果你錯過了,最終也一定會聽到相關消息。週一下午,Huang 談到了代理式 AI、即將到來的運算未來、晶片需求展望,並強調了「AI 工廠」的概念。對於新創公司和成長中的私營企業,以下有幾點值得思考: 與 Nvidia 的代理人對話。 首先,向 NemoClaw 打聲招呼:一向穿著皮夾克的 Huang 揭曉了 NemoClaw,一個專注於代理式 AI 的新開源平台。這個名字似乎是故意的,很可能參考了近期病毒式 AI 代理 OpenClaw 的成功,同時為公司提供企業級的隱私和安全控制。「今天世界上每家公司都需要一個 OpenClaw 策略,一個代理系統策略,」Huang 告訴聽眾。「這是新的電腦。」 實體 AI 已然來臨。 Huang 強調,實體 AI,特別是機器人技術,是 Nvidia 下一個主要市場,價值可能高達一兆美元或更多。許多創投家也同意 Huang 的評估,因為已有數十億美元的創投資金湧入 AI 時代的機器人公司,例如專注於工業的 Skild AI 和人形機器人製造商 Apptronik。 Nvidia 想要包辦一切。 TechCrunch 的 Sharon Goldman 表示,這一切都歸結於 Nvidia 如何看待自己的未來。她寫道:「Nvidia 在 GTC 上明確表示,它將自己定位為不僅僅是晶片製造商,而是為 AI 的新『推論』階段提供動力的整個 AI 運算系統的提供者。(推論是關於驅動 AI 輸出,而不僅僅是訓練,這將需要龐大的新一輪基礎設施投資。)這種野心超出了 Nvidia 傳統的『賣鏟子』的角色。」 在此閱讀 Sharon 對 Nvidia 為何尚未看到更多 AI 引發的強烈反彈的看法。 Term Sheet 播客… 本週的嘉賓是我一直想親自見面的人:Harvey 的執行長兼聯合創始人 Winston Weinberg。Harvey 是法律 AI 領域的領導者,公司成立 3.5 年,估值達 110 億美元。Winston 和我談論了 Harvey 的崛起、AI 的「合作與競爭」範式,以及他尋找重點的公式。在此觀看節目。 明天見, Allie GarfinkleX: @agarfinksEmail: alexandra.garfinkle@.com 在此提交交易以供 Term Sheet 電子報刊登。 Joey Abrams 策劃了今日電子報的交易部分。在此訂閱。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

HONG KONG, Mar 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Guoquan Food (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 2517.HK, “Guoquan”) recently released its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The company delivered a stellar performance, showcasing remarkable growth resilience within the community catering retail sector.The announcement reveals that while maintaining steady revenue growth, Guoquan has demonstrated a powerful surge in profitability. By adhering to its “community central kitchen” strategy, Guoquan has successfully converted its scale into a profit advantage through deep penetration of lower-tier markets, smart store upgrades, and the “one-product-one-factory” supply chain model.Strong Financial Performance Driven by Substantial Improvements in Earnings QualityIn 2025, Guoquan achieved synchronized growth in scale and efficiency, with financial performance exceeding market expectations. According to the annual results, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the company recorded total revenue of RMB 7.81 billion, a year-on-year (YoY) increase of 20.7%. Net profit reached RMB 454 million, representing a stunning YoY surge of 88.2%, marking a major milestone in the company’s profitability. The core operating profit (Non-IFRS measure), which excludes non-recurring items, amounted to RMB 461 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 48.2%. Notably, the profit growth rate significantly outpaced revenue growth, reflecting continuous optimization of earning efficiency. The core operating profit margin rose to 5.9%, further improving from 2024.In terms of profitability, the company maintained a stable gross margin of 21.6%. Cost control initiatives yielded significant results, as the growth rates of selling, distribution, and administrative expenses remained below the rate of revenue growth, allowing for the continuous release of economies of scale. Furthermore, the Board has proposed a final dividend of RMB 0.0381 per share (tax inclusive) for 2025. Total shareholder return via dividends and share repurchases for the full year amounted to approximately RMB 570 million.Elevating Network Scale and Quality Through Lower-tier Market Penetration and Intelligent EvolutionIn 2025, Guoquan further solidified its foundation as a ten-thousand-store enterprise, achieving dual breakthroughs in network scale and operational quality. As of December 31, 2025, the total store count rose to 11,566, with a net addition of 1,416 stores across 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The franchise-led network structure remained stable, supported by a mature and highly efficient operational system.Lower-tier markets functioned as a pivotal growth driver as the company accurately addressed consumption needs across counties and townships. In 2025, Guoquan achieved a net addition of 1,004 township stores, bringing the year-end total to 3,010 and representing 26.0% of the entire network. These township outlets have become a vital pillar of revenue growth by leveraging tailored product assortments and differentiated merchandising that align perfectly with the consumption patterns of lower-tier markets. Meanwhile, the company fast-tracked its intelligent transformation by completing smart and unmanned upgrades for over 3,000 retail stores during the year. The rollout of 24-hour unmanned outlets has successfully extended operating hours and reached a wider range of consumption scenarios, leading to a comprehensive elevation in both operational efficiency and service delivery.Enhancing Omni-channel Operations to Maximize Membership EcosystemGuoquan has built an instant retail network through the deep integration of online and offline channels, establishing the “Guoquan Instant Commerce” system to consistently enhance omni-channel conversion capabilities. The company’s social media and e-commerce performance was particularly strong, leveraging a multi-tiered TikTok (Douyin) account matrix to achieve over 9.41 billion platform exposures. This digital momentum drove store-level GMV on TikTok (Douyin) to RMB 1.49 billion, representing a significant year-on-year increase of 75.3%.The membership ecosystem reached a new milestone as registered members surged to 64.9 million by the end of 2025, up 57.1% year-on-year. The prepaid card program within this ecosystem yielded substantial results, with the year-end prepaid card balance reaching RMB 1.20 billion, a 22.3% increase from the previous year. This vast and highly engaged member base provides a robust foundation for maintaining stable store traffic and executing precision marketing strategies.Fortifying Competitive Moats through Integrated Product and Supply Chain ExcellenceGuided by its core product philosophy of “tasty, convenient and value-for-money”, Guoquan continued to diversify its product matrix in 2025 by launching 282 new SKUs in the hotpot and barbecue categories. The company upgraded its scenario-based offerings, including “Barbecue Camping Container Set”, “Crayfish Feast Set”, and “Six Popular Hot Pot Sets”, while expanding into the beverage segment with NFC fruit juices and craft beers to satisfy diverse consumer needs across all four daily meal occasions.The company also deepened its industrial footprint as the “one-product-one-factory” strategy yielded significant results. During the reporting period, Guoquan operated seven major food production facilities covering core categories such as seasonings, paste and aquatic products, and beef, creating a comprehensive production capacity matrix. The commencement of the Hainan Danzhou food production base further optimized the company’s supply chain radius. This integrated “production-supply-retail” closed-loop system has substantially enhanced upstream bargaining power and cost control, establishing an impenetrable supply chain moat.Scaling Innovative Formats and Unveiling the 2026 Four Stores Strategic BlueprintIn 2025, Guoquan actively explored new consumption scenarios with the successful rollout of innovative formats such as Guoquan Stir-fry and Guoquan Camping. These ventures have successfully extended the business from ingredient retail into freshly prepared meals and outdoor social dining, effectively unlocking a new growth curve for the company.Looking ahead to 2026, the company will focus on the synergistic development of four stores jointly advancing with concerted efforts—county and rural markets, community stores, Guoquan Stir-fry, and Guoquan Camping—to further penetrate lower-tier markets, upgrade community outlets, and expand innovative scenarios. Guoquan has set clear operational targets for 2026: total store count to exceed 14,500 with a net addition of over 2,934 outlets; maintaining a closure rate below 4%; expanding the registered member base to over 95 million; and ensuring that core operating profit growth significantly outpaces revenue growth.

The development was completed with specifications that can be operated even in harsh field environments, and the system has already started to be operated in the manufacturing sites of the group. It has contributed to freeing workers from dangerous work and simple repetitive work, shifting to high-value-added work, and robotization/mechanization of skilled skills. In the future, the autonomous mobile multi-skilled worker collaborative robot system, which can improve the capacity utilization rate and investment effect, is expected to expand automation to improve throughput and shorten lead time. MHI Has Developed Ultrasonic Testing that Significantly Reduces Inspection Lead Times[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Research Institute]MHI has developed two UT (Ultrasonic Testing) technologies that enable inspections otherwise impossible with conventional methods. The "Adaptive UT" technology estimates the surface profile and corrects wave reflection and refraction, enabling direct inspection of internal defects without modifying complex surfaces. This technology has been implemented in boilers, reducing inspection lead times by 70% during periodic boiler inspections. In steam turbines, commercial aircraft, special vehicles, and other applications, it has enabled the inspection and quality verification of areas that were previously difficult to assess, resulting in greater design flexibility and improved reliability. The "Internal Thread UT" quantitatively measures thread height to determine damage, enabling integrity assessment of threaded sections without removing any bolts. Compared to conventional inspections that required bolts to be removed, this approach significantly reduces inspection lead times by 80% for steam turbines. These UT technologies, which defy industry norms, greatly contribute to the Company's after-sales service operations and design innovations by expanding design flexibility while ensuring quality, and are also expected to help shorten manufacturing lead times through their application as in-process inspections on production lines. Maintenance Activities for Factory Infrastructure Equipment Utilizing Digital Technology in Factories[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Value Chain Headquarters]Advanced Factory Management Using Infrastructure Data AnalysisThis refers to activities to advance equipment maintenance, which tasks that tend to depend on experience and skills, by leveraging digital technology. In practice, this involves utilizing digital technologies such as IoT sensors that can be easily retrofitted to equipment and data cleansing to extract key features (numerical representations of data characteristics) from large datasets, thereby streamlining and enhancing the efficiency of infrastructure maintenance operations within MHI factories. The focus was on Hiroshima Machinery Works Kan-on Plant, which has approximately 22,000 terminal electrical systems while IoT sensors have been installed in the transformer rooms at the very top of the electrical system, establishing a mechanism to monitor the entire plant. Previously, manual inspections and meter readings were conducted at all 22,000 terminal equipment points, but now, automatic evaluation can be performed using data from just 350 substations, aiming to reduce the inspection workload by approximately 60%. This reduces the risk of leakage and curtails power outage inspection times for individual equipment inspections, which helps to prevent factory downtime. This is something that can also be deployed at other factories. MHI Rolls Out Company-Wide XR PlatformAccelerating DX in Design and Production Processes[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Digital Innovation Division]Improved Layout Marking Efficiency by Overlaying Blocking PlansMHI has promoted the company-wide deployment of XR(Note) technologies that enable the digital transformation of design and production processes by displaying digital data such as CAD in virtual spaces or on actual products, thereby preventing design rework and streamlining assembly and inspection operations. By standardizing and platformizing XR environment setup and operational procedures, the Company established a system enabling anyone to easily build and operate XR environments. As of the end of December 2025, adoption and pilot implementation have progressed accordingly across 12 departments. In aerospace systems, utilizing XR technology during the initial design phase assisted with identifying issues in product assembly and machining early on, helping to prevent rework. For commercial aircrafts and submarines, overlaying part installation positions onto the actual products has halved the time required for marking and layout work. Further company-wide implementation is expected to enhance profitability across the entire Group.(Note) XR (Cross Reality) is an umbrella term covering VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), MR (Mixed Reality), and other related technologies.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

TLDR 黃金期貨週二上漲至每盎司約5,025美元,當日漲幅約0.5%。 S&P 500 期貨下跌0.3%,而布蘭特原油飆升3.3%至每桶103.53美元。 美國-以色列對伊朗的戰爭導致荷莫茲海峽大部分關閉,推動油價突破100美元。 聯邦準備理事會週二開始為期兩天的會議,預計將利率維持在3.5%–3.75%。 期貨市場目前預計到12月將降息26個基點,較前一日略有上升。 (SeaPRwire) -   週二上午,黃金價格走高,因投資者同時關注兩大事件:持續中的美國-以色列對伊朗的戰爭以及聯邦準備理事會為期兩天的政策會議的開始。 黃金期貨上漲0.5%至每金衡盎司5,025.10美元。現貨黃金上漲0.7%至5,023.53美元。盤中稍早,連續黃金期貨漲幅較小,為0.2%,報每盎司5,010.41美元。 微型黃金期貨,2026年4月 (MGC=F) 同時,S&P 500 期貨下跌0.3%,預示著股票市場存在一些謹慎情緒。布蘭特原油期貨跳漲3.3%至每桶103.53美元,使油價穩穩保持在100美元以上。 油價上漲與衝突直接相關。美國-以色列對伊朗的戰爭導致荷莫茲海峽大部分關閉,擾亂了全球石油供應的關鍵航運路線。 黃金本週開局不順。週一交易的前24小時內,在伊朗外交部長發表被市場解讀為正面的言論後,金價回落。股市上漲,殖利率下跌,美元回吐近期部分漲幅。 「這似乎呼應了市場對伊朗外交部長言論的積極反應,」Tastylive 全球宏觀主管 Ilya Spivak 表示。「原油回落,殖利率小幅走低,隨著股市上漲,美元回吐了近期部分漲幅。」 但油價保持在100美元以上,黃金在週二上午再次站穩腳跟。 聯準會會議成為焦點 聯邦準備理事會週二開始為期兩天的會議。市場普遍預計,聯準會將連續第二次會議維持利率在3.5%至3.75%的區間不變,並將於週三做出決定。 根據 Deutsche Bank 策略師 Jim Reid 的說法,期貨市場目前預計到12月會議將降息26個基點,較前一日增加2.4個基點。 黃金是一種無收益資產,這意味著當預期利率下降時,黃金表現往往更好。較低的利率預期會降低持有黃金相對於持有附息資產的成本。 黃金作為避險資產的角色 根據 FactSet 的數據,自伊朗敵對行動開始以來,黃金實際上已下跌6.1%。這一跌幅引發了關於黃金是否仍能作為避險資產的疑問。 週二的漲幅可能表明它正在重新確立這一角色。分析師們正密切關注。 Spivak 警告說:「如果中央銀行採取相對鷹派的語氣,黃金可能會走弱。」聯準會週三的語氣可能會使價格朝任一方向波動。 美國聯邦準備理事會預計將維持利率不變,但任何關於未來升息的意外言論都可能再次給黃金帶來壓力。 截至週二上午,黃金期貨交易價格為5,021.10美元,當日上漲18.90美元。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
