苏丹发动军事政变 抗议中有七人死亡、140人受伤

路透喀土穆10月25日 – 苏丹军方周一从过渡政府手中夺取了权力,一名卫生部官员说,在士兵和街头抗议者的冲突中,有七人被枪杀,140人受伤。此次政变的领导人Abdel Fattah al-Burhan将军解散了军民共治的主权委员会。在两年前的民众起义中推翻了长期执政的独裁者Omar al-Bashir后,为引导国家走向民主而成立了该委员会。Burhan宣布进入紧急状态,称武装部队需要保护安全。他承诺在2023年7月举行选举,届时将移交给一个当选的民选政府。他说:“国家现在所经历的是对年轻人的梦想和国家的希望造成真正的威胁和危险。”仍然效忠于被罢黜总理Abdalla Hamdok的苏丹信息部在其Facebook页面上说,过渡宪法规定只有总理有权宣布紧急状态,军方的行动是一种犯罪。它说,Hamdok仍然是合法的过渡政府领导。外交官们说,联合国安理会可能会在周二闭门讨论苏丹问题。白宫发言人Karine Jean-Pierre说,“我们反对军方的行动,呼吁立即释放总理和其他被软禁的人”。信息部说,经济学家、前联合国高级官员Hamdok在拒绝发表支持政变的声明后被拘留,并被转移到一个未公开的地点。美国国务院说,华盛顿没有关于Hamdok下落和状况的任何信息可分享。国务院发言人说,美国将暂停对苏丹的7亿美元经济支持。(完)for-phone-onlyfor-tablet-portrait-upfor-tablet-landscape-upfor-desktop-upfor-wide-desktop-upContinue Reading

美股标普500指数和道指刷新收盘纪录高位 Hertz大单助特斯拉创新高

路透纽约10月25日 – 美国股市道琼斯工业指数和标普500指数周一均创收盘纪录高位,财报季进入高潮,本周将是最繁忙的财报周之一,多个行业的巨头准备公布业绩。虽然道指和标普指数创下新高,但在特斯拉和PayPal上涨的提振下,纳斯达克指数跑赢,该指数目前距离9月7日创下的收盘纪录高位不到1%。特斯拉TSLA.O跃升12.66%,创下1,045.02美元的纪录新高,且市值突破1万亿美元,此前汽车租赁公司HertzHTZZ.PK下了10万辆特斯拉汽车的订单,且摩根士丹利将其目标价从每股900美元上调至1,200美元。Inverness Counsel首席投资策略师Tim Ghriskey表示:“今天有很多有关特斯拉的讨论,Hertz下了一个大订单,这让人有些兴奋。”特斯拉在过去十个交易日中有九日上涨,本月涨幅超过28%,给标普500指数和纳指带去最大提振。PayPalPYPL.O也带来提振,在放弃以高达450亿美元收购图片分享应用PinterestPINS.N的计划后,上涨2.70%。Pinterest急挫12.71%。道琼斯工业指数.DJI收高64.13点,或0.18%,报35,741.15点;标普500指数.SPX收高21.58点,或0.47%,报4,566.48点;纳斯达克指数.IXIC收高136.51点,或0.9%,报15,226.71点。美国总统拜登周一表示,对民主党人就其主要支出计划达成一致抱有希望,白宫也表示,民主党谈判代表即将达成一项协议,拜登周末将赴苏格兰出席气候峰会。标普500指数11大板块多数上涨,能源股和非必需消费品股表现最佳,供应紧张推动油价再次触及多年高位,提振能源股。FacebookFB.O在季度业绩公布前上涨1.26%。投资者担心,就像SnapSNAP.N一样,Facebook的广告收入可能会面临苹果AAPL.O隐私规定改革的冲击。Facebook在盘后公布业绩时警告称,这些规定将在第四季给其数字业务造成拖累,该公司股价在盘后震荡交投中上涨2.95%。本周计划公布业绩的其他巨头包括苹果、微软MSFT.O和谷歌母公司AlphabetGOOGL.O。本周165家标普500指数成分股企业预计将公布季度业绩。根据路孚特数据,分析师预计标普500指数成份股企业第三季盈利料同比增长34.8%。投资者还在评估企业如何在应对供应链瓶颈、劳动力短缺和通胀压力之际维持增长。截至周一上午,在已公布财报的119家标普500指数成份股企业中,有83.2%超过了分析师预期。Ghriskey称:“我们显然正处于财报季的高潮,很多企业发布财报,盈利好于预期,人们之前真的担心会看到一些糟糕的财报,因为供应链问题和前景降低,后者也是由供应链问题导致的。到目前为止,情况还不错。”Kimberley-ClarkKMB.N下跌2.20%,此前该公司因投入成本上升而下调了2021年的利润预期。美国各证交所累计成交约108.9亿股,过去20个交易日的日均成交量为104.1亿股。纽约证交所涨跌股家数比为1.91:1;纳斯达克市场为1.76:1。78只标普500指数成分股触及52周新高,两只成分股触及新低;161只纳斯达克指数成分股触及新高,87只触及新低。(完)for-phone-onlyfor-tablet-portrait-upfor-tablet-landscape-upfor-desktop-upfor-wide-desktop-upContinue Reading
