「卡帕西迴路」：前 OpenAI 研究員的自主代理程式在 2 天內執行了 700 次實驗—並預示了 AI 的發展方向

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   本月稍早，知名人工智慧研究員 Andrej Karpathy 在 X 上爆紅。他曾是 OpenAI 的創始員工之一，後來擔任 Tesla 的人工智慧主管。這本身並不那麼不尋常。Karpathy——他現在是一名獨立的人工智慧研究員，也是 Eureka Labs 的創辦人，該公司聲稱正在為人工智慧時代創建一種新型學校——在 X 上擁有 190 萬粉絲，他的聲譽使得他關於人工智慧的任何言論幾乎都被視為真理或預言。 但這篇貼文是關於他進行的一項實驗，他讓一個人工智慧編碼代理執行一系列實驗，以找出如何改進小型語言模型的訓練。他讓這個人工智慧代理連續運行了兩天，在此期間它進行了 700 次不同的實驗。在這些實驗過程中，它發現了 20 項優化，縮短了訓練時間。 Karpathy 發現，將相同的 20 項調整應用於一個更大但仍然相當小的語言模型，使其訓練時間加快了 11%。Karpathy 將他為進行這項實驗而建立的系統稱為「autoresearch」。 Shopify 的共同創辦人兼執行長 Tobias Lütke 在 X 上發文表示，他嘗試使用 autoresearch 來優化公司內部數據上的人工智慧模型，指示代理改進模型的品質和速度。Lütke 報告說，讓 autoresearch 運行一夜後，它進行了 37 次實驗，並帶來了 19% 的性能提升。許多人關注的是，autoresearch 接近於科幻小說中最初提出的自我改進人工智慧系統的概念，一些人工智慧研究人員熱切渴望，而另一些人則深感恐懼。人們擔心，「遞歸式自我改進」（即人工智慧以一種循環的方式不斷優化其自身的代碼和訓練）可能導致人工智慧安全研究人員有時稱之為「硬起飛」或「智慧爆炸」。在這些情境中，人工智慧系統迅速提高其自身性能，導致其超越人類認知能力並擺脫人類控制。 Karpathy 的實驗並非如此。autoresearch 設置的核心人工智慧代理並非在改進其自身的訓練設置，而是在調整一個不同、更小且複雜程度較低的人工智慧模型的訓練代碼和初始神經網路設置。但 Karpathy 正確地指出，他的實驗對於未來人工智慧實驗室如何進行研究具有重大意義，這可能會加速他們的進展。「所有大型語言模型前沿實驗室都會這樣做。這是最終的魔王戰。」Karpathy 在 X 上寫道。他承認「當然，在規模上會複雜得多」，因為他的 autoresearcher 只需擔心調整一個包含在 630 行 Python 代碼中的模型和訓練過程，而前沿人工智慧模型的訓練代碼庫則要大得多。「但這樣做『只是工程』，而且會奏效。」他繼續說道。「你啟動一群代理，讓它們協作調整較小的模型，將最有前途的想法推廣到越來越大的規模，而人類（可選地）在邊緣貢獻。」他說，雖然他目前建立的 autoresearch 系統是為單一代理設計的，以沿著單一路徑持續改進一段代碼，但未來他設想多個人工智慧代理將能夠並行探索不同的優化和不同的實驗。「autoresearch 的下一步是，它必須是代理之間大規模的異步協作。」他寫道。「目標不是模仿一個博士生，而是模仿一個由他們組成的研究社群。」Karpathy 還說了關於 autoresearch 的另一件事，這讓許多人感到興奮。「*任何*你關心的、可以合理高效評估的指標（或者有更高效的代理指標，例如訓練一個較小的網路）都可以由代理群進行 autoresearch。」他寫道。「值得思考你的問題是否也屬於這個範疇。」 一些評論員指出，autoresearch 的基本組成部分可以用於許多其他代理系統來優化一個過程。Janakiram & Associates 的首席分析師 Janakiram MSV 在科技出版物 The New Stack 中將此稱為「Karpathy 循環」。它有三個組成部分：一個代理，可以訪問並修改單個文件；一個單一的、客觀可測試的指標，代理可以為之優化；以及每個實驗可以運行的固定時間限制。他還強調，Karpathy 在 autoresearch 中給予人工智慧代理的指令，對於任何與人工智慧代理互動的人來說，也是很好的範例。Karpathy 使用的純文本文件包括了代理應該做什麼的清晰指令、限制（告訴代理不應該做什麼或改變什麼），以及停止標準（指示每個循環應該運行多長時間以及代理何時應該停止循環並報告其結果）。 但一些批評者表示，Karpathy 所做的不過是重新發現了 AutoML 過程的一部分，Google、Microsoft 和其他人工智慧實驗室的研究人員已經使用多年。AutoML 也使用優化循環和一系列實驗來找到用於人工智慧的最佳數據、最佳模型架構，並調整該模型架構。但它不使用能夠閱讀人工智慧研究論文並提出改進假設的人工智慧代理。AutoML 系統傾向於依賴隨機變異或各種演化算法來決定嘗試哪些更改。 Karpathy 回應了其中一些評論，稱某些 AutoML 方法，例如神經網路架構搜索（一種自動優化人工智慧模型設計的方法），遠不如他的 autoresearch 強大。「當時的神經網路架構搜索是如此弱的版本，以至於相比之下它完全屬於無用的一類。」他寫道。「這是一個*真正*的大型語言模型，可以編寫任意代碼，從先前的實驗中學習，並可以訪問互聯網。兩者根本無法相比。」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。

Wintermar Reports Results for The Full Year Ended 31 December 2025

acn

SINGAPORE, Mar 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Wintermar’s Operating Profit for FY2025 jumped by 31% YOY to US$23.3, reflecting margin expansion through a better fleet mix. Core Profit increased by 19.2% YOY to US$18.Owned Vessel DivisionOwned vessel revenue rose by 13.8% YOY to US$70.7 million as gross margins for Owned Vessels widened to 41.7% for FY2025 compared to 36.1% in FY2024 despite softer charter rates and lower offshore activity in 2025. Utillization in 2025 was lower than 2024 arising from geopolitical concerns and the early stage of most drilling projects which are shorter term in nature. However, this was compensated by higher revenue from having more Dynamic Positioning (DP) equipped vessels. The Company operated a larger number of units of higher value vessels in FY2025.                Chartering Division and Other ServicesGross Profit from the Chartering Division continued to decline with a drop in contribution to US$0.5 million in FY2025 compared to US$1.4 million in FY2024. Some of the declines resulted from a strategic decision to move the Company towards a management fee based ship management business model for better scalability, where the Company now receives fees for various services which are recorded in the Other Services Division. Contribution from Other Services Division has increased by 9.3% YOY by US$0.2 million to US$2.8 million in FY2025.Direct Expenses and Gross Profit                  With a larger number of DP vessels in operation and more overseas contracts, total crewing costs rose by 10.5%YOY to US$11.4 million for FY2025. Depreciation rose accordingly by 10.4% YOY to US$14.8 million for FY2025 from the full year impact of the additions to the fleet in 2024. One PSV completed reactivation and became operational in 4Q2025. Operation expenses were slightly higher (+2.2%YOY) at US$5.2 million while maintenance costs fell by 2.9% YOY to US$7.3 million. Fuel bunker was significantly lower (-26%YOY) as idle vessels were berthed in Batam on shore power.By December 2025, there were 7 units of PSVs in operation, as compared to 5 units of operational PSVs at end 2024.  The Company purchased an additional PSV in late 2025 and she is being delivered to Indonesia and expected to be operational by 2H2026.Total Gross Profit rose by 24.1%YOY to US$32.7 million.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitTotal Indirect Expenses rose by 10%YOY to US$9.4 million for FY2025. The largest increase in indirect expenses came from salary cost, in line with a building out of key technical and operations positions to prepare for scaling up the fleet. Salary expenses rose by 11.9% YOY to US$6.5 million for FY2025, as employee strength increased to 252 from 244. Marketing expenses rose by 17.2% YOY due to fees and commissions as well as bid bond expenses to participate in tenders. Investments in new subsidiaries added 12.6%YOY to office utility costs which amounted to US$0.6 million.As a result, Operating Profit for FY2025 jumped by 31%YOY to US$23.3 million in FY2025 compared to US$17.8 million in FY2024.Other Income, Expenses and Core Net ProfitCash flow from operations have increased due to better revenues and receivables collections, and the Company has also taken on more debt to refinance vessels. As a result, interest expenses rose by 83.5% YOY to US$2.1 million, while interest income doubled to US$1.0 million. The Company is still in a strong financial position with net cash. Associated companies contributed US$4.1 million (+71.5%YOY) from better business conditions.The sale of 2 older mid-tier vessels recorded a gain of US$3.5 million in total. This is much lower than the gain on sale of vessels in the previous year of US$16.1 million as there was a windfall profit in FY2024 from the sale of an older PSV. Total other income was US$7.4 million for FY2025 compared to US$19 million in FY2024.EBITDA for FY2025 increased by 21.8% YOY to US$38.4 milllion, reflecting a significant improvement in operations and cash generation ability of the Company.Stripping out gains on vessel sale, the underlying Core Net Profit attributable to shareholders was US$18.0 million, a jump of 19.2%YOY as compared to US$15.1 million in FY2024.The performance of the Company has contributed to EPS of Rp75.80 for FY2025 against Rp78.35 in FY2024.Industry OutlookThe heightened geopolitical risks in 2025 saw governments around the world prioritizing energy security over long term climate goals. The speed of adoption of Aritficial Inteligence (AI) in every field also accelerated the expansion of data centers, contributing significantly to the increasing demand for power. By late 2025, the International Energy Agency (IEA) revised up electricity demand growth to 3.7% in 2026, well in excess of average growth of 2.6%p.a. between 2015 to 2023.As a result of these changes, there has been an upward revision in total investment into oil and gas exploration in 2025 compared to 2024, in particular in deepwater drilling. This confirms our positive outlook for strong demand in OSV for the coming few years, particularly in DP equipped OSVs.In early 2026, the attacks on Iran and ensuing retaliation has disrupted oil and gas supplies coming from the Middle East, causing oil prices to spike. Should the Iran war escalate for a longer period, it is likely to trigger even more investment into exploration of new oil and gas reserves as energy nationalism becomes the new normal.Business ProspectsThe Company’s investment in additional fleet has improved the fleet composition and raised revenues and margins in the past year. Indonesia alone has 4 deepwater drilling projects which have been identified as strategic projects by the government and slated to start production between 2027 to 2030.  There will be longer term contracts awarded for these projects in the coming year as projects start to ramp up towards the second half of 2026.With stronger cash flow expected in 2026, management is looking to expand the dynamic positioning fleet, and cash will be deployed to fleet expansion, whether through direct purchases of vessels or corporate acquisitions. In 2025, total capex was US$41.7 million, while in FY2026, the Company is budgeting more than double that amount in anticipation of increased OSV demand. This will be funded by internal cash flow and bank loans.     Total contracts on hand as at end December 2025 amount to US$59.1 million.About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters.

The University of Tokyo and NEC conclude a Strategic Collaboration Agreement to promote a prosperous society where people and AI succeed together

jcn

TOKYO, Japan, Mar 17, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and NEC Corporation (NEC) have concluded an strategic collaboration agreement and will establish a new NEC-UTokyo Lab. This initiative is based on the "Future Synergy with AI: Toward Trustworthy Social Implementation" program that promotes a prosperous society where people and AI can succeed together. The NEC-UTokyo Lab will host joint activities under this agreement, driving three integrated initiatives: exploring issues through discussions with diverse stakeholders, advancing social implementation through collaborative programs, and fostering talent development.This agreement advances efforts to develop an AI-native society, including thought leadership (*1) activities and actual implementation. Both parties will engage not only in technological development but also initiatives that include legal reforms, the formation of ethical and social norms, and the deepening of interdisciplinary research. Through these efforts, both parties will promote a new vision for society based on safety and security within an AI-native society that contributes to a sustainable future.Overview of the collaboration between UTokyo and NECBackgroundIn recent years, AI has been rapidly evolving and is poised to significantly transform society and industry. At the same time, diverse challenges surrounding AI utilization have become apparent, including ethics, social acceptability, and the relationship between people and AI. During this transition to an AI-native society, it is essential to move beyond isolated technological development and partial institutional reforms. Instead, a framework is needed for the design and implementation of a vision for the future that encompasses the whole of society.UTokyo and NEC will comprehensively advance efforts under this agreement, encompassing legal framework development, technological innovation, human resource cultivation, and concrete implementation, guided by the vision, "Future Synergy with AI: Toward Trustworthy Social Implementation." Concurrently, the organizations aim to strengthen Japan's industrial competitiveness and to resolve digital divides between regions.Under this agreement, by combining UTokyo's advanced knowledge with NEC's cutting-edge technologies, the organizations aim to become a powerful driving force for creating a prosperous society, where people and AI succeed together.NEC-UTokyo Lab Initiatives1. Creating platforms for leaders and experts to identify challenges and explore resolutionsBy bringing together diverse stakeholders, including industry leaders and legal experts, and integrating the knowledge of the University of Tokyo and NEC, the NEC-UTokyo Lab will explore questions centered on coexistence with AI from multiple perspectives. Through this activity, the lab will propose visions for Japan and the world's future alongside possible solutions for critical social challenges. Moreover, in addition to sharing these insights with society, the lab will seek to promote research and talent development within its Social Collaboration Program.2. Accelerating Social Implementation through the Social Collaboration ProgramThe NEC-UTokyo Lab’s Social Collaboration Program will be dedicated to designing a future where people and AI successfully coexist as new technologies grow throughout society.The boundaries between digital spaces based on data and AI and physical spaces where people live are gradually blurring. One example of this is the emergence of an agent economy where AI agents are becoming the primary actors in economic activities.To successfully promote these new social and economic systems, NEC and UTokyo will collaborate to explore the ideal forms of social systems, ethics, and legal frameworks, and promote their implementation. For example, NEC positions "automated negotiation AI" (*2), which facilitates optimal consensus-building among multiple AI agents, as a key technology underpinning the agent economy. Furthermore, the organizations will expand their research themes in the future and accelerate the implementation of AI solutions to build a sustainable and trustworthy AI-native society.3. Cultivating Next-Generation Leaders to Drive the AI-Native SocietyThe NEC-UTokyo Lab will work to cultivate talents capable of leading the realization of a prosperous society where people and AI succeed together. As part of this effort, the lab plans to prepare next-generation leaders through long-term internships and design education programs at the newly established "UTokyo College of Design" (*3).The lab will also promote flexible personnel exchanges where students and researchers from both UTokyo and NEC can interact. This will further strengthen organic collaboration and accelerate efforts from exploring questions to societal implementation of concepts and technologies.Comments from Both Parties"NEC, with its in-house developed generative AI technology and extensive AI implementation experience across various fields, and the University of Tokyo, with its advanced and broad expertise, will take the lead in creating a dialogue platform for diverse stakeholders to identify future societal challenges. We expect this strategic collaboration to become a platform for advancing AI implementation that contributes to building a better AI-native society and for cultivating the next generation of leaders who will drive this forward."Teruo Fujii, President, The University of Tokyo"We are delighted to establish the NEC-UTokyo Lab through this industry strategic collaboration agreement with the University of Tokyo. As AI fundamentally reshapes societal foundations, Japan's growth and industrial competitiveness now depend not only on technology but also on reliable, well-governed societal implementation. By combining the diverse knowledge of the University of Tokyo with NEC's implementation capabilities, we will advance the establishment of ‘trustworthy AI’ and promote its practical application throughout the world."Takayuki Morita, President and CEO, NEC Corporation(1) Thought Leadership: Leading discussions and direction in a specific field with deep expertise and unique insights, presenting a vision for the future and solutions to challenges. https://www.i-ise.com/en/index.html(2) Automatic Negotiation AI: NEC's proprietary AI technology that automates various adjustments and negotiations traditionally performed by humans.(3) UTokyo College of DesignAbout NECThe NEC Group leverages technology to create social value and promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.

狗狗幣價格預測：以太坊準備更高層級的燃氣限制，同時狗狗幣、柴犬和PEPE 持有者轉向 Pepe 的 799 萬美元預售

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   根據 CoinDesk 報導，Ethereum 開發者正準備進一步提高網路的 gas 上限，旨在提升 DeFi 領域的交易速度和規模。儘管話題不斷，但由於投資者等待宏觀催化劑，Ethereum 的價格仍在 2,277 美元附近盤整。 這就是為什麼 Dogecoin 的價格預測正在減弱，資金正從疲軟的 DOGE、SHIB 和 PEPE 部位輪動到 Pepeto。在 0.000000186 美元的價格點上，PEPE 共同創辦人的三款迷因經濟產品提供了傳統迷因幣從未建構的東西。 Ethereum 開發者計劃提高 gas 上限以改善交易吞吐量和可擴展性。提高 gas 上限允許每個區塊處理更多交易和智能合約操作，從而提高速度，同時可能降低費用。 根據 Bloomberg 報導，儘管 Ethereum 仍在盤整，但此次升級鞏固了其作為安全結算層的地位。 值得佈局的三大替代幣：Pepeto、Dogecoin 和 Ethereum Pepeto：DOGE、SHIB 和 PEPE 持有者選擇的替代品 儘管 DOGE、SHIB 和 PEPE 的圖表數月來一直閃爍著紅色，但表面下發生的事情講述了一個截然不同的故事，因為資金正從疲軟的傳統迷因幣輪動到 PEPE 共同創辦人的下一個建構項目。Ethereum 持續強化其基礎層，而 450 億美元的迷因經濟每月都在擴張。但在 Ethereum 處理底層軌道的同時，Pepeto 正在建構迷因經濟所缺失的基礎設施層，這是 DOGE、SHIB 和 PEPE 從未嘗試建構的。 PepetoSwap 正在為零稅收的跨鏈迷因交易而設計。Pepeto Bridge 連接了分散的流動性。Pepeto Exchange 只精選經過驗證的迷因代幣。這三者都在曾創造 70 億美元價值的 PEPE 共同創辦人的領導下接近準備就緒。 這就是為什麼即使 DOGE 在 0.10 美元、SHIB 在 0.0000055 美元、PEPE 在 0.0000035 美元的價位，持續處於峰值下跌 80% 至 90% 且沒有基礎設施發展路徑的情況下，Pepeto 的發展也未曾放緩。 SolidProof 已驗證了每一份合約，超過 40 億枚代幣已被永久銷毀，200% 的年化收益率質押每日複利，同時 799 萬美元的承諾資本證實了資金正從衰落的傳統迷因幣輪動到真正的基礎設施項目。在 0.000000186 美元的價格點上，隨著 PEPE 共同創辦人的第二個項目帶著三款 Dogecoin 價格預測永遠無法複製的產品接近交易所上市，Pepeto 仍然感覺被嚴重低估。 Dogecoin 價格預測：DOGE 能否止跌？ 根據 CoinMarketCap 數據，DOGE 在 3 月 16 日的交易價格為 0.1005 美元，徘徊在關鍵支撐位上方。鏈上數據顯示，大型錢包一直在減持部位。空頭部位正在增加。在最近的交易時段中，超過 500 萬美元的多頭部位被清算。 風險偏好正在減弱，Dogecoin 的價格預測也是如此。如果 0.10 美元的支撐位失守，價格可能會跌向 0.08 美元。市場情緒已轉為看跌。 Ethereum 在 2,300 美元下方盤整，分析師預期長期成長 ETH 在 3 月 16 日的交易價格為 2,277 美元，缺乏短期動能。3 月 17 日和 18 日的聯準會會議是關鍵催化劑。像 2,600 美元這樣的大目標仍然有可能實現，但前提是宏觀前景改善且交易量回歸。 結論 當 DOGE、SHIB 和 PEPE 從歷史高點下跌之際，Pepeto 憑藉三款基礎設施產品、PEPE 共同創辦人以及 SolidProof 驗證的合約，定位為替代品。1,000 美元的投入在目標價位將變成 269,000 美元。 3,000 美元的部位將達到 807,000 美元。5,000 美元的投入將超過 1,345,000 美元。這就是改寫投資組合的數學計算，而它只在預售仍然開放、傳統迷因幣持有者完成輪動時有效。 點擊訪問 Pepeto 網站參與預售 常見問題解答 當前的 Dogecoin 價格預測說明了什麼？ Dogecoin 價格預測顯示疲軟，DOGE 處於 0.10 美元，大型錢包減少曝險，空頭部位增加。擁有 PEPE 共同創辦人和三款基礎設施產品的 Pepeto 提供了根本不同的發展軌跡。 Dogecoin 的長期前景如何？ 隨著炒作消退且該代幣缺乏基礎設施，Dogecoin 的長期前景正在黯淡。擁有 PEPE 共同創辦人、SolidProof 驗證和三款產品的 Pepeto 正成為邁向 2026 年的更強勁投資選擇。 目前 Dogecoin 的社群情緒如何？ 隨著巨鯨退出，Dogecoin 的社群情緒正轉向看跌。與此同時，資金正輪動到 Pepeto，那裡有 PEPE 共同創辦人的三款基礎設施產品，提供了 DOGE 從未建構的實用性。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。

Zylo Ecosystem Announces the Launch of the ZYLO Token to Expand Its Digital Ecosystem

seaprwire

San Jose, Costa Rica – March 17, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Zylo Ecosystem, a multi-product digital platform that combines trading, gaming products, and online services, has announced the launch of its native token ZYLO. The token will act as the crypto-economic layer of the Zylo ecosystem, connecting various platform products into a unified digital economy. At the same time, the project’s primary focus remains the development of services for a broad audience, including users who are not part of the crypto community. Everyday Internet Users Remain at the Center of the Ecosystem Many projects in the crypto industry are built around blockchain technologies from the start and primarily target the Web3 audience. This approach often limits growth, as such products tend to be understood mainly by users who are already familiar with cryptocurrencies. Zylo Ecosystem follows a different model. The ecosystem is designed so that its products are convenient and accessible for everyday internet users who use digital services, play mobile games, and interact with online platforms. Within this model, the ZYLO token becomes an additional crypto-economic tool that expands the ecosystem’s capabilities without complicating the user experience. What the Zylo Ecosystem Includes The Zylo Ecosystem combines several directions that together form a unified digital and crypto economy. Trading Infrastructure One of the key elements of the ecosystem is intrade.bar, a trading platform with many years of operational history and an established user community. Over time, the platform has built a strong presence in its niche within the CIS market and developed a stable user base. For most users, the platform remains a fully functional online service. The integration of the ZYLO token introduces additional opportunities within the trading infrastructure and expands the platform’s economic model. Gaming Products and the GameFi Direction Gaming is also an important part of the Zylo ecosystem. Within the ecosystem, the CosmoFox project is being developed — a gaming universe that includes elements of collectibles and an in-game economy. At the same time, Fox Survivor is being developed as a mobile and web game in the roguelike survival / bullet-hell genre, where players fight waves of enemies, unlock characters, upgrade weapons, and progress through a meta-progression system. The games are designed as accessible products for a wide audience, while the ZYLO token introduces additional mechanics such as in-game rewards, rare items, premium features, and competitive modes between players. In certain gameplay scenarios, users will be able to participate in PvP battles, placing bets in ZYLO tokens. The winner receives the tokens staked in the match, creating an additional in-game economy and increasing player engagement. These mechanics generate additional token circulation within the gaming economy and create organic demand for the token from players. This approach forms a GameFi economy within the ecosystem, integrated into a broader digital platform. Digital Services In addition to trading and gaming products, Zylo is also developing digital services, including VPN solutions and other online tools. These services add practical utility to the ecosystem and allow the ZYLO token to be used in real user scenarios. How the ZYLO Token Works Within the Zylo ecosystem, the token acts as a crypto-economic layer integrated into the platform’s existing products. The token can be used for: purchases within the ecosystem gaming mechanics and rewards premium features special conditions in trading services payments for digital services The Zylo economy also includes deflationary mechanisms, where a portion of tokens is removed from circulation through various burn mechanisms. As the number of users and services within the ecosystem grows, demand for the token may increase alongside the expansion of its use cases. Cross-Product Ecosystem Model One of the key features of Zylo is its cross-product development model, where different products within the ecosystem strengthen each other. User activity in one service can create value in another. For example, gaming activity may unlock additional opportunities within the ecosystem, while participation in trading services may provide advantages in other products. This structure enables a more sustainable development model compared to projects built around a single product direction. Preparation for the First Exchange Listing Zylo Ecosystem is currently in the final stage of preparation for the first exchange listing of the ZYLO token. The listing will represent an important step in integrating the ecosystem into the broader crypto market and expanding access to the token for the crypto community. At the same time, the project’s strategy remains focused primarily on product development and user growth rather than on exchange activity alone. Founder’s Comment “We are building products for a broad audience of internet users, not just for the crypto community,” says Alex, founder of Zylo Ecosystem. “The ZYLO token adds a crypto-economic layer to existing products and allows us to expand the ecosystem’s capabilities without complicating the user experience.” What’s Next Following the token launch and the first exchange listing, the Zylo team continues developing the ecosystem, including: deeper integration of the token into trading infrastructure expansion of the CosmoFox gaming economy development of Fox Survivor gameplay launching new digital services and expanding them within the ecosystem At the same time, Zylo is building an ecosystem accelerator, through which new startups will be able to connect to the project’s infrastructure and integrate the ZYLO token into their products. About Zylo Ecosystem Zylo Ecosystem is a multi-product digital platform that combines trading services, gaming products, and online tools. The ecosystem is designed as a convenient digital environment for everyday users, while the ZYLO token forms a crypto-economic layer that connects different services and expands the platform’s capabilities. This approach allows Zylo to combine the convenience of traditional online services with the possibilities of a Web3 economy.

Eaton（ETN）股價在Jefferies恢復買入評級後上漲3%

hk_news

TLDR Jefferies 分析師 Stephen Volkmann 於週日恢復對 Eaton (ETN) 的買入評級，目標價為 430 美元 此舉是在 Eaton 於三月初完成收購 Boyd Thermal 之後 Boyd Thermal 帶來用於 AI 資料中心的液體冷卻技術，預計 2026 年營收達 17 億美元 Eaton 的 2026 年總銷售額預計為 303 億美元，年增 11% Barclays 將其對 ETN 的目標價從 350 美元上調至 354 美元，維持持股觀望評級 (SeaPRwire) -   Eaton (ETN) 週一開盤上漲約 2.7%，報 365.09 美元。至早盤時段，漲幅擴大至 3.39%。同期間，標普 500 指數上漲 1.2%，道瓊指數上漲約 1%。 Eaton Corporation plc, ETN 此波漲勢由 Jefferies 分析師 Stephen Volkmann 點燃，他於週日恢復對 Eaton 的評級，給予買入評級和 430 美元的目標價。 Volkmann 曾有一段時間未對該股進行評級。當華爾街分析師所在的公司正與某家公司進行交易或融資合作時，他們有時會暫停評級。 評級恢復緊接在 Eaton 於本月稍早完成對 Boyd Thermal 的收購之後。Eaton 表示，這筆交易加強了其作為全球資料中心客戶端到端解決方案供應商的地位。 Boyd Thermal 帶來完整的熱管理產品組合 — 包括冷卻液分配單元、冷卻機、冷板及熱交換器。這些產品用於冷卻 AI 硬體，隨著新晶片產生的熱量超過傳統氣冷所能負荷，這已成為一項真正的挑戰。 液體冷卻，無論是透過冷板還是將晶片完全浸入冷卻液中，已成為高密度 AI 工作負載的首選解決方案。 為何冷卻技術現在如此重要 包括 Meta、Microsoft、Alphabet 和 Amazon 在內的超大型企業正共同投入數千億美元建設 AI 資料中心。這些支出不僅創造了對晶片和電力的需求，也創造了對維持這些晶片運作的基礎設施的需求。 Volkmann 引用了 Boyd「預計 2026 年營收達 17 億美元，其中近 90% 來自資料中心」。這在 Eaton 預計 303 億美元的 2026 年總銷售額中佔比較小 — 但這是一個快速成長的領域。 Eaton 並非唯一採取此類行動的公司。競爭對手 Schneider Electric 在 2025 年初收購 Motivair 也是出於類似原因。 分析師情緒現狀 隨著 Jefferies 新的買入評級，目前覆蓋 ETN 的分析師中有 75% 給予買入評級。這遠高於標普 500 成分股通常 55%–60% 的買入評級比例。分析師平均目標價約為 413 美元。 Barclays 分析師 Julian Mitchell 也在 Boyd 交易完成後於週一更新了他的模型，將 ETN 的目標價從 350 美元上調至 354 美元。他維持持股觀望評級，並形容 Eaton 在近期內可能仍是投資者之間的「戰場」股票。 進入週一交易時段前，ETN 今年以來上漲 12%，過去 12 個月上漲 21%。 該股在週一早盤交易中報 365.09 美元，日內上漲 2.7%。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。

比特幣鯨魚信號響起，看好BTC逼近10万美元

hk_news

重點摘要 根據CryptoQuant數據，比特幣鯨魚活動達六年新高，比特幣價格維持在70,000美元以上。 交易所鯨魚比率飆升至前一市場週期以來的最高水平。 比特幣24小時內上漲近2%，週漲幅超過8%，交易價格來到73,236美元。 比特幣現貨ETF連續錄得淨流入，吸納數億美元資金。 比特幣在74,000美元至75,000美元之間遭遇阻力，同時在68,000美元至70,000美元附近形成支撐。 (SeaPRwire) -   鏈上數據顯示鯨魚活動重現及機構資金流入增加，比特幣價格維持在70,000美元以上。CryptoQuant數據顯示，交易所鯨魚比率已達六年來最高水平。與此同時，比特幣24小時內上漲近2%，週漲幅超過8%，交易價格來到73,236美元。 比特幣鯨魚推動交易所活動飆升 CryptoQuant報告指出，交易所鯨魚比率飆升至前一市場週期以來的水平。該指標追蹤流入交易所的大型交易佔比。分析師表示，在盤整階段，該比率的劇烈飆升通常與短期價格底部同步。 最新數據顯示，鯨魚增加了交易所活動，而散戶參與度則跌至六年新低。這種分化現象暗示大型持有者正在累積頭寸，而小型交易者則縮減風險敞口。CryptoQuant表示，「歷史上，極端的鯨魚比率水平往往預示著價格即將上漲。」 The Exchange BTC Whale Ratio is at Its Highest Level in Six Years “When the exchange whale ratio increases, it marks a short-term bottom, and when the ratio is at its peak, it is the point where an uptrend begins.” – By @CW8900 pic.twitter.com/zyt71q5DsW — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 16, 2026 比特幣在當日稍早交易中突破74,000美元，創下40日新高。然而，該資產在74,000美元至75,000美元之間遭遇阻力。交易員正密切監測此區間，以判斷是否可能突破至更高水平。 市場數據顯示，比特幣已從3月初跌至60,000美元中段的低點回升。近期回調期間，該資產在70,000美元附近維持支撐。隨著主要交易所的鯨魚交易量增加，價格穩定性進一步增強。 歷史模式顯示，此前價格反彈前也曾出現類似的鯨魚比率飆升現象。數據指出，比特幣往往在這些比率達峰後不久進入上漲趨勢。分析師現正觀察當前盤整階段是否會重演這一模式。 機構資金流入支撐價格走勢 本月比特幣現貨ETF連續錄得淨流入。基金連續五日呈現正向資金流，吸納數億美元。這些流入扭轉了此前的資金流出趨勢，並恢復了ETF市場的流動性。 隨著資金回流，ETF產品的交易量上升。市場參與者將這些資金流與價格穩定性改善聯繫起來。交易所數據顯示，近期反彈期間機構買家需求持續。 隨著ETF流入加強，比特幣鯨魚增加了交易所轉帳活動。這種同步現象支撐了比特幣突破73,000美元的走勢。分析師預測，若突破75,000美元，比特幣可能開啟向80,000美元邁進的通道。 部分預測指出，若資金流入持續，比特幣可能向100,000美元邁進。另一些分析則認為，80,000美元附近的上方供應將成為短期障礙。近期交易中，支撐位仍穩定在68,000美元至70,000美元之間。 地緣政治緊張局勢及油價波動影響了更廣泛的金融市場。儘管如此，比特幣過去一周仍維持上漲動能。截至發稿時，該加密貨幣交易價格為73,236美元，交易所交易量穩定。  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。

塞勒策略在最新比特幣購買中加大優先股銷售力度

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   邁克爾·塞勒（Michael Saylor）旗下的Strategy Inc.購買了近16億美元的比特幣（Bitcoin）——這是該公司自1月以來最大規模的購買行動——此次更為依賴一種向投資者承諾11.5%年回報的證券，而這項回報由相同加密貨幣支撐。 根據周一提交的監管文件，這家前稱MicroStrategy的公司在3月9日至3月15日期間購買了22,337枚比特幣。此次購買中，約4億美元資金來自普通股銷售，其餘12億美元則來自「Stretch」永續優先股的場內銷售。這類付息證券類似永不到期的債券，向投資者承諾穩定收益，最終資金來源為Strategy的比特幣持有量。 上週是Strategy自7月「Stretch」優先股首次公開發行以來，該證券銷售規模最大的一周。這也是數週以來，該公司首次主要依賴Stretch籌資購買比特幣。在此期間，Strategy一直將這類證券包裝為投資者與企業接觸比特幣的途徑，同時無需承擔加密貨幣標誌性的波動風險。   Strategy打造了一個多層融資機制：發行債務、優先股及普通股——所有籌資管道皆用於購買比特幣。每一層融資向投資者承諾不同的風險與回報組合，但所有層級都依賴同一關鍵因素：比特幣價格上漲。 週三，Strategy宣布其永續優先股迎來一位意外買家：另一家資產負債表緊繫比特幣價格的公司。比特幣庫存管理公司Strive Inc.（由前共和黨總統候選人維韋克·拉馬斯瓦米（Vivek Ramaswamy）共同創立）宣布，已將5000萬美元（佔其企業庫存逾三分之一）配置於此類證券。 持有約13,300枚比特幣的Strive，早已高度暴露於比特幣價格波動風險中。該公司轉向Stretch，旨在為預留以支付自身優先股股息的資金賺取雙位數收益率。 「與其將閒置現金存放在貨幣市場基金中賺取低收益，我們認為將部分儲備配置到Stretch之類的工具上是合理的，這些工具能提供強勁的收益動能，同時保持價格穩定及深具流動性，」Strive執行長馬特·科爾（Matt Cole）當時表示。 Strive自身發行股息率12.75%的優先股，並將多數籌資所得用於購買比特幣。該公司預留現金以支付優先股的固定股息。透過將部分預留現金投入收益率11.5%的Stretch（而非收益率約3.7%的國庫券），Strive提高了這部分現金的收益。 即便如此，Strive支付自身優先股股息的成本仍高於其預留現金的收益——差距達1.25%。若比特幣漲幅足以彌補此差距，普通股股東或將受益；若未能彌補，優先股股息仍需支付，將減少普通股股東可獲得的資本。  「我們認為，作為數位信用發行機構，同時擔任發行者與持有者是審慎之舉，」科爾在電郵中表示，並補充稱Stretch提升了公司「資產負債表效率，同時維持流動性與安全性」。 B. Riley Securities分析師費多爾·沙巴林（Fedor Shabalin）表示，這項投資是已知首起數位資產庫存管理公司（DAT）利用另一家DAT的優先股支撐自身股息義務的案例。沙巴林對Strive股票給予「買入」評級。「整個DAT成長模式關鍵依賴維持股權溢價（相對於資產淨值），」他在報告中指出。「若此溢價崩潰或轉為折價，良性循環將被打破。」 Strive的投資是對比特幣與Strategy的重大賭注。「若Strategy表現不佳，他們將承擔巨額風險，」RIA Advisors投資組合經理邁克爾·萊博維茨（Michael Lebowitz）表示。「任何 Strive股東都應感到憤怒。」   Stretch的收益率每月調整，以鼓勵該證券圍繞100美元面值交易。但100美元水平並不保證——若公司下調收益率或需求走弱，市價可能跌破面值，投資者賣出時或面臨虧損。上個月，該證券市價最低跌至93.67美元。週一，其股價上漲14%。 對Strategy而言，優先股為塞勒提供了持續購買比特幣的途徑，同時避免進一步打擊現有普通股股東（其普通股過去12個月累跌約50%）。在2025年末比特幣經歷波動期（包括一輪重創加密貨幣重倉資產負債表的急跌）後，Stretch的穩定性或對投資者具吸引力。比特幣價格截至2月已連續五個月下跌。Strategy普通股週一上漲5.6%。 Strategy資本實驗的非凡之處不在於單一工具——而是整個企業生態系統已形成發行、購買及交叉持有證券的模式，所有證券皆依賴比特幣價格不會長期大幅下跌。這些工具旨在吸引不同風險偏好的投資者，但源頭皆來自同一資金管道。 今年比特幣波動性依舊高企。週一，比特幣交易價約74,000美元，較月初上漲逾10%。此波動發生之際，全球市場因伊朗持續衝突面臨持續壓力。被廣泛視為比特幣代理標的、走勢常與加密貨幣同步的Strategy普通股，本月漲幅約14%。該公司持有逾76.1萬枚比特幣，市值約580億美元。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。

美國債務正與創紀錄供應量的公司債券競爭，推高聯邦借貸成本，正值戰費累積之際。

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   AI資本支出熱潮創造了大量的企業債務，迫使財政部必須讓其債券對投資者更具吸引力，因為美國對伊朗的戰爭增加了赤字。 上週二，美國企業債券銷售迎來了有史以來最繁忙的一天，因為唐納德·川普總統暗示戰爭可能很快結束，短暫地平息了市場，並引發了企業爭相發行新債的熱潮。 截至當天結束，投資級債券發行總額突破650億美元，超過了2013年創下的單日520億美元的紀錄。據消息人士向Financial Times透露，這波債務洪流由電子商務巨頭和AI超大規模業者Amazon領頭，籌集了370億美元。 這超出了該公司250億至300億美元的指導目標，因為投資者需求遠超供應，吸引了約1230億美元的訂單。 企業債務的激增足以影響國債市場，該市場的日交易量超過1兆美元。Deutsche Bank的分析師上週在一份報告中表示，債券銷售對10年期殖利率構成了一些上行壓力，該殖利率在盤中高點攀升6個基點至4.16%。 Apollo首席經濟學家Torsten Slok此前曾警告，企業債務的洪流可能使聯邦政府的借貸成本更高。他在1月份的一份報告中指出，華爾街估計2026年即將發行的投資級債務量可能高達2.25兆美元。 這是因為AI熱潮日益促使包括超大規模業者和相關公司在內的企業進入債券市場，為資料中心和其他基礎設施的大規模投資籌集資金。 Slok表示：「超大規模業者發行量的顯著增加引發了關於誰將成為投資級債券的邊際買家的問題。」「這會來自國債購買，從而對利率水平造成上行壓力嗎？還是可能來自抵押貸款購買，從而對抵押貸款利差造成上行壓力？」 自1月以來，情況發生了很大變化。伊朗戰爭正演變成一場曠日持久的衝突，導致油價飆升。反過來，由於對更高通膨的預期，債券殖利率上升——進一步增加了借貸成本。 每天轟炸伊朗也增加了赤字的壓力，本財政年度前五個月赤字就達到了1兆美元。據New York Times報導，五角大廈官員上週告訴立法者，戰爭前六天的成本超過113億美元。 與此同時，川普誓言將國防開支從每年1兆美元提高到1.5兆美元，這可能進一步擴大赤字。 美國債務不可持續的軌跡已在華爾街引起越來越多的警報。但目前，投資者似乎對企業債務和政府債務都有強勁的需求。 在Amazon巨額發行幾天後，上週四拍賣的220億美元30年期國債吸引了穩健的需求，儘管這得益於戰爭爆發以來殖利率的跳升。 上個月的國債發行也創下了30年期拍賣歷史上的最高需求，主要由海外買家推動。 Slok在2月20日的一份報告中表示：「底線是，國債拍賣數據顯示，美國長期國債的需求依然非常穩健。」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。

「沒有，我們沒做到」：DOGE 員工承認伊隆·馬斯克的節省成本機構未能削減聯邦赤字

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   在成立初期，由伊隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）領導的政府效率部（Department of Government Efficiency，簡稱DOGE）誇口稱可從美國聯邦預算中削減高達2萬億美元。去年12月，馬斯克承認這個特別諮詢機構僅在「殭屍支付」（即已取消合約或欺詐性失業救濟金的支付）方面節省了2000億美元。 但近期對DOGE整體影響的評估顯示，其節省的資金對赤字幾乎沒有幫助，甚至可說毫無作用。 在今年1月一段近期瘋傳的錄證影片中，DOGE員工內特·卡瓦諾（Nate Cavanaugh）表示，削減成本的努力遠未達到最初2萬億美元的目標。這次錄證是美國學術協會理事會（American Council of Learned Societies，一家學術機構的非營利聯盟）提起的一宗更大訴訟的一部分，該訴訟指控DOGE使用OpenAI的ChatGPT識別並取消了超過1億美元的多元、公平與包容（DEI）補助金。 「對於人們可能失去用來維生的重要收入……你不感到後悔嗎？」一名律師就取消補助金的事詢問卡瓦諾。 「不。我認為將聯邦赤字從2萬億美元降至接近零更重要，」同時也是AI驅動會計公司Flow Finance創始人的卡瓦諾表示。 律師追問：「你們降低了聯邦赤字嗎？」 卡瓦諾回答：「沒有，我們沒有。」 白宮未立即回應的評論請求。 曼哈頓聯邦地區法院的科琳·麥克馬洪（Colleen McMahon）法官在社交媒體引發強烈反彈後，下令移除包含DOGE員工賈斯汀·福克斯（Justin Fox）錄證在內的相關影片。 DOGE成立於唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統第二任期的第一天，是根除聯邦政府「浪費、欺詐與濫用」行為的努力之一。在集中領導運營的10個月裡，該團隊裁撤了超過30萬名聯邦員工的職位，並聲稱取消了13,440份合約。 這起近期的訴訟是DOGE備受質疑的最新案例。網路安全專家警告，該團隊可訪問美國薪資系統，這使其對美國人的資訊擁有「前所未有的權力與控制」，而大規模裁員可能為中國、俄羅斯等國創造機會，招募有機密數據存取權的線人。管理專家聲稱，DOGE所宣稱的節省完全被誇大了。 DOGE導致美國政府支出增加的跡象 自馬斯克擔任DOGE負責人之初（DOGE並非真正的部門，而是一個諮詢辦公室），經濟學家就對其在國家債務突破38萬億美元之際削減聯邦赤字的能力表示懷疑。布魯金斯學會漢密爾頓計畫（Brookings Institution Hamilton Project）追蹤聯邦支出的工具顯示，截至2025年12月19日，政府支出從去年的7.135萬億美元增至7.558萬億美元，增幅近6%。 卡托研究所（Cato Institute）2025年12月的一份報告指出，儘管DOGE裁減了超過9%的聯邦員工，但未能縮減整體支出，部分原因是大多數聯邦支出並非來自薪資。此外，政府僱用承包商來替代員工。這個自由意志主義智庫計算，裁減10%的員工僅能節省約400億美元。 政府效率與勞動力非營利組織「公共服務合作組織」（Partnership for Public Service）首席執行官麥克斯·斯蒂爾（Max Stier）在2025年4月表示，DOGE的裁減實際上可能加劇美國財政的壓力，據估計，解雇、重新僱用員工以及讓員工休帶薪假的成本約為1350億美元，由美國納稅人承擔。 斯蒂爾說：「我們確實需要政府運作得更好，但迄今採用的方法完全帶我們走錯了方向。最終結果將是，當伊隆·馬斯克回到他的私營企業時，美國公眾將承擔後果。」 耶魯大學預算實驗室（Yale University Budget Lab）2025年3月的一份報告同樣預測，如果2.2萬名美國國稅局（Internal Revenue Service，簡稱IRS）員工離職，該機構2026年將因可用於執行審計的人員減少而損失85億美元收入。十年內，這一損失可能滾雪球般增至近1980億美元。（美國政府責任署（U.S. Government Accountability Office）報告稱，去年有超過1.7萬名IRS員工離開該機構。） 一名IRS員工此前表示，大規模裁員降低了員工的效率，增加了電話接聽時間，並放慢了文件處理速度。 該員工說：「當我們回顧歷史時，我們會發現，摧毀維持政府運轉、保持國家正常運作的官僚體系，將成為美國崩潰的導火索。」 人事管理辦公室（Office of Personnel Management）負責人斯科特·庫珀（Scott Kupor）表示，去年的人員裁減過頭了。他在本月早些時候告訴《華盛頓郵報》（Washington Post），政府正計劃在200萬人的聯邦勞動力中重新僱用一些職位。 庫珀說：「坦率地說，我們現在可能需要重新僱用一些技能人才。毫無疑問，任何時候進行重組……有時會重組過度，有時則不足。」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。

彼得·西尔正积极说服亿万富翁放弃「捐赠誓言」——而且效果显著

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   彼得·提爾不僅對「捐贈誓言」持懷疑態度——他更一直積極從內部瓦解該組織，告訴簽署者應背棄承諾，並稱該組織是一個「與愛潑斯坦有關聯、虛假的嬰兒潮世代俱樂部」。 在接受《紐約時報》採訪時，提爾聲稱，「捐贈誓言」——這項旨在讓全球最富有者承諾捐出50%或更多財富的慈善運動——已經過時了。「在最初的四、五年裡，他們讓難以置信的人數簽署了誓言，但不知何故，它真的失去了動力，」他說。「我不知道它的品牌形象是否完全負面，但感覺人們加入的意願已大不如前。」 根據聯準會的數據，美國的財富差距已發展到新的極端，前10%的家庭持有全國超過三分之二的財富。該國大部分財富仍掌握在老一輩手中。在過去幾十年裡，財富積累掏空了中產階級。慈善事業長期以來一直是涓滴經濟理論的事實體現。遠離這種慈善框架——以及現代史上最有組織的將財富從該國最富有者口袋轉移出去的努力之一——可能預示著金錢的水龍頭正在收緊。 「捐贈誓言」由比爾·蓋茲、梅琳達·法蘭西·蓋茲和華倫·巴菲特於2010年發起。簽署者名單包括該國一些最富有的人，其中包含已捐出巨額財富的人士，例如麥肯錫·史考特和已故的Microsoft共同創辦人保羅·艾倫。 儘管獲得了全球超過250位最富有慈善家的簽署，但近年來簽署的富豪人數逐漸減少。根據「捐贈誓言」編制的簽署者名單，2024年僅有4人承諾，2025年有14人簽署。與此同時，全球每月都有更多最富有者達到億萬富翁地位，《富比士》最新估計全球有超過3,400位億萬富翁。 提爾推銷放棄「捐贈誓言」的理念 提爾表示，他已說服一些人撤銷簽名。「我強烈勸阻人們簽署它，然後我溫和地鼓勵他們撤銷簽名，」提爾說。值得注意的是，在提爾去年提供給路透社的文稿和音訊演講中，他回憶曾呼籲世界首富、即將成為史上第一位兆萬富翁的伊隆·馬斯克撤回其誓言，並警告這位Tesla創辦人，他的財富將流向「由比爾·蓋茲選擇的左翼非營利組織」。 提爾說，他與一些簽署者進行過對話，他們對當初的承諾決定表達了不確定性。「我交談過的大多數人至少對簽署它表示了後悔，」他說。 「關於慈善事業角色的討論是不可避免且受歡迎的，」「捐贈誓言」臨時負責人塔琳·詹森在一份給的聲明中表示。「在早期，『捐贈誓言』在幾乎沒有規範的領域幫助建立了準則。」詹森補充說，許多「捐贈誓言」的簽署者已經履行了承諾，其他人仍在積極努力實現目標。 「這為應對全球最嚴峻的挑戰帶來了更多資源，」她說。「我們的目標是持續建立一種捐贈成為常態的文化，並提供支持，幫助將承諾轉化為行動。」 慈善事業依然盛行之處 這位PayPal共同創辦人對慈善事業有自己的想法。他自2011年起運營「提爾獎學金」，該計畫提供20萬美元，讓年輕人跳過大學去建立創新項目。數位該計畫的校友已創建了價值超過1,000億美元的公司。 儘管如此，慈善事業依然強勁。「捐贈誓言」指出，去年有超過一半的誓言社群成員參加了「捐贈誓言」的活動或學習會議。 幾位主要參與者推動了該國的慈善捐贈。根據非營利新聞機構《慈善紀事報》的數據，該國最富有者在2025年捐出了224億美元，比2024年增長了35%，但仍低於2021年近期高峰的389億美元。「捐贈誓言」簽署者麥肯錫·史考特僅在去年就向超過120個組織捐出了72億美元。根據《富比士》估計，這比她前夫、億萬富翁Amazon創辦人傑夫·貝佐斯一生捐出的總額還要多。華倫·巴菲特作為承諾捐出大部分財富的一部分，已捐贈了超過600億美元的財富。 儘管這位「奧馬哈先知」去年承認他最初的捐贈計畫過於雄心勃勃。 「早期，我考慮過各種宏大的慈善計畫，」他在去年給股東的信中寫道。「儘管我很固執，但這些計畫被證明並不可行。」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。

牛津經濟研究院（Oxford Economics）表示，能源危機目前尚未引發衰退，但在某種情況下，油價可能會使美國經濟陷入「停滯」

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   伊朗的战争引发了一场全球能源危机，动摇了市场，并使油价飙升至四年来的最高水平。随着冲突的升级，迅速解决问题的可能性似乎在恶化，美国经济可能安然无恙的希望也随之破灭。 这场战争实际上封锁了霍尔木兹海峡，这是一个连接波斯湾石油和天然气生产商与世界其他地区的重要能源通道。根据国际能源署（International Energy Agency）的数据，此次关闭切断了每天约2000万桶的石油供应。国际能源署估计，冲突每天从全球供应中减少了约800万桶石油，使这场危机成为历史上最大的石油供应中断事件。此后，油价一直处于动荡之中。布伦特原油（Brent crude），一个在战争前价格约为每桶70美元的国际基准，上周曾触及120美元，此后一直稳定在90至100美元之间。 这些波动已经导致美国司机汽油价格上涨，但这可能不足以迫使一些经济学家警告的严重衰退。根据咨询公司Oxford Economics周五发布的一份报告，迄今为止的价格水平可能只对经济产出产生微弱的长期影响。 但这种情况取决于在未来几个月内相对较快地恢复到战前价格水平。海峡关闭的时间越长，价格上涨得越高，全球经济形势（包括美国）恶化的速度就越快。 经济的崩溃点 Oxford Economics使用一个通用的经验法则来估算油价上涨对经济的影响：当油价在持续一段时间（确定为约两个月）内每上涨10美元，由于通胀上升和增长放缓，GDP就会下降0.1%。根据该报告，如果价格在两个月内平均为100美元，全球GDP增长将减少零点几的百分点，但可能可以避免衰退。 Oxford Economics发现，经济的崩溃点将是油价在两个月内平均达到每桶140美元。在这个价格水平上，溢出效应将更难控制，世界许多地区将面临经济衰退的风险。 报告的作者写道：“欧元区、英国和日本会出现温和的收缩，而美国则接近暂时停滞，失业率上升，接近衰退。” 计算油价上涨对经济后果的难点在于，其影响是指数级的。价格上涨得越多，可能对经济造成的连锁反应就越多。持续高企的石油和运输成本将开始蔓延到食品和其他商品，使通胀成为一个普遍性问题，而不是一个主要集中在燃料和能源方面的问题。如果油价将长期保持高位，美联储和其他央行将更倾向于收紧利率政策，从而抑制经济活动。 最后一个复杂因素更多是心理上的。报告称，持续的高油价可能导致“集体心理的恶化”，因为消费者对高油价的预期已经固定。在美国这个汽车依赖型国家，消费者尤其关注汽油价格，燃料通胀有可能挤占家庭的可支配收入，并降低其他方面的支出，这也将导致经济放缓。 不确定的结果 根据Oxford Economics的建模，在这种最坏的情况下，美国通胀可能在2026年第二季度达到约5%的峰值，高于目前的2.4%。这将是自2023年3月以来最高的通胀率。这样的数据可能会促使美联储采取更强硬的立场，并可能倾向于今年加息。美联储本周很可能维持利率不变，但伊朗冲突也使得许多预测者倾向于预计今年不会降息。 尽管140美元的情景是一个严重的警告，Oxford Economics指出，目前这种结果的可能性仍然很低。作者认为，一个更可能的情景是油价平均在每桶100美元左右，与过去几周的大部分时间价格持平。这在很大程度上取决于冲突何时结束，以及海峡何时能再次安全通行，从而允许石油和天然气再次离开海湾。特朗普政府官员最近表示，可能还需要几周时间才能平息敌对行动。 周一，由于美国宣布了几项旨在增加供应的措施，包括暂时放松对俄罗斯石油出口的制裁、伊朗油轮获准离开海湾以及总统特朗普呼吁其他国家帮助确保海峡安全，油价有所回落。国际能源署协调释放的4亿桶全球紧急石油储备也为市场提供了一个有限的缓冲，从而让市场感到安心。 但在这次战争期间，油价已经习惯了价格的波动。冲突的第二周初，在特朗普在Truth Social上写道，更高的油价是实现美国在伊朗目标“微不足道的代价”之后，油价一夜之间上涨了25%，达到接近120美元/桶，随后在当周晚些时候回落。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。

本週是鮑爾聯準會主席任內倒數第二場會議——別期待他會向華爾街透露太多線索

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   再過幾個月，在美國聯準會的利率制定委員會會議後，講台後將出現一張新面孔。傑羅姆·鮑爾（在極大概率下）距離其央行主席任期結束只剩下幾場記者會——這或許是他越來越期待的一件事。由於鮑爾的任期將在五月結束（除非因司法部調查引發的法律程序來回而延遲），這位主席將在本週和四月主持聯邦公開市場委員會（FOMC）會議，然後卸任，其位置很可能由川普提名的凱文·瓦爾許接替。儘管圍繞著鮑爾領導聯準會的最後一年充滿戲劇性，華爾街並不預期鮑爾主持的會議會帶來任何特別令人驚訝的結果。過去幾個月，FOMC在利率應以多快、多大幅度下調（如果下調的話）的問題上存在分歧，而近期在伊朗的軍事行動對鞏固經濟前景幾乎毫無幫助。 自17天前美國和以色列對伊朗發動襲擊以來，地緣政治緊張局勢已經沸騰。自那時起，隨著交易員評估該地區供應將受到多大程度的干擾，油價已經上漲。油價上漲對家庭產生了直接的連鎖影響，由於他們在頭條新聞中搜尋緊張局勢降級的跡象（而這尚未出現），他們的通膨預期正在飆升。 隨著價格預期上升，且目前能提供實體經濟訊息的當代數據有限，分析師普遍預期傑羅姆·鮑爾本週將宣布不降息。在撰寫本文時，CME的FedWatch工具顯示本週會議維持利率不變的機率超過99%。 儘管本週某種意義上是央行的盛會（聯準會、歐洲央行、日本央行和英國央行本週都將召開會議），但普遍看法是「觀望」態度將再次佔上風。經濟學家也不預期鮑爾的記者會會有任何重大訊息，正如Deutsche Bank的吉姆·里德今早向客戶指出的那樣，他說他的團隊「只預期聲明會有微調，包括對近期勞動力數據（尤其是考慮到一月和二月份相互矛盾的非農就業數據）的措辭會更圓滑，以及對地緣政治風險的認可，強調不確定性和通膨的短期上行壓力。」 一幅過於鷹派的圖景？ 他繼續說道，鮑爾的記者會「很可能會強調，近期事件主要是透過金融狀況傳導——尤其是油價。然而，就目前而言，我們的經濟學家認為他將避免暗示近期政策前景有任何重大轉變。」 事實上，一些分析師甚至提出，2026年完全不降息是完全有可能的——畢竟，一位鴿派的新主席在FOMC中也只有一票。但Bank of America Global Research的安東尼奧·加布里埃爾今早寫道，或許在聯準會的前進道路上，鷹派的通膨呼聲過於擁擠，掩蓋了全貌。 加布里埃爾寫道，認為聯準會不會降息的假設，是基於地緣政治緊張局勢是暫時性的這一前提——即通膨可能只是一個相對短中期的波折，不會影響更廣泛的全球經濟。這位美國銀行的經濟學家對此並不那麼確定，他今早寫道，市場可能低估了一場更持久戰爭的風險。 「雖然衝突迅速解決當然是一種可能，但我們認為衝突延續到第二季的可能性同樣大，而且不能排除一場更持久戰爭的可能性。然而，市場似乎正在為一個基本上是暫時性的衝擊定價，」加布里埃爾觀察到。「美元走強，但標普500指數僅比峰值低4%，而利率市場由於通膨擔憂，已經消化了約35個基點的聯準會年內降息幅度。在我們看來，對全球增長更具破壞性的情境定價不足。」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。

We believe that GMG is one of the few companies to have received EPA approval for the export and sale of an unlimited amount of a graphene-based product in the United States of America."About THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE powered by GMG Graphene:THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE coating system is a unique method of improving the conductivity of corroded heat exchange surfaces and improving and maintaining the performance of new units at peak levels. The process coats and protects heat exchange surfaces while improving and rebuilding the lost corroded thermal conductivity and increasing the heat transfer rate by leveraging the physics of GMG Graphene, resulting in an efficiency improvement and a potential power reduction.THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE is now patented for 20 years in Australia and is expected to be patented in other countries around the world.THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE Development and EPA Approval HistoryMonthSignificant Milestones for THERMAL-XR® powered by GMG GrapheneSeptember2022GMG acquires THERMAL-XR® manufacturing intellectual property and brand rights GMG ACQUIRES THERMAL-XR MANUFACTURING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND BRAND RIGHTS AND GRANTS RSUs TO DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS - Graphene Manufacturing Group | GMG (graphenemg.com)December2022Verified Improved Heat Transfer by The University of Queensland.

GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries"). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed at improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries.GMG's 4 critical business objectives are:Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processesBuild Revenue from Energy Savings ProductsDevelop Next-Generation BatteryDevelop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution CapabilityFor further information, please contact:Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws.
