特朗普称美国封锁将持续到达成协议为止。

-- 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一在Truth Social社交媒体平台上重申,美国对伊朗的封锁将继续有效,直至达成协议,并称伊朗正强迫船只驶向美国以获取石油。 “伊朗领导层强迫数百艘船只驶向美国,主要集中在德克萨斯州、路易斯安那州和阿拉斯加州,以获取石油,”特朗普发帖称。 在Truth Social平台上的多篇帖子中,特朗普表示,在达成协议之前,封锁不会解除。他声称伊朗每天损失5亿美元,并称这种损失“不可持续”。 关于军事行动,特朗普表示“一切进展顺利”,美国正在“大获全胜”。 他发帖称,在伊朗谈判方面他“没有面临任何压力”,并表示潜在的协议将“远胜”于《联合全面行动计划》(即伊朗核协议),同时批评该协议是损害美国国家安全的最糟糕安排之一。 在另一篇发表于 Truth Social 的文章中,特朗普表示,民主党人正试图削弱美国在与伊朗谈判中的地位,同时他坚称自己不会仓促达成不利协议。 “我不会让他们逼迫美国达成一项并不尽如人意的协议,”特朗普说道,并驳斥了有关谈判紧迫性的说法。 他否认了媒体报道,并补充说谈判可能“相对迅速”结束,同时强调他专注于争取比以往协议更有利的条款。

Research Alert: Alk: Q1 Loss Widens On Fuel Headwinds; Company Suspends Full-year Guidance

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ALK reported Q1 adjusted EPS of -$1.68, widening from -$0.77 in the prior year and missing the -$1.55 consensus, while revenue of $3.3B (+5.2%) met expectations. Unit revenue rose 3.5%, led by strong corporate travel (+19%) and premium segments, but unit costs increased 6.3% from airport, maintenance, and pilot training pressures. The Hawaiian integration and Alaska Accelerate strategy are delivering results ahead of schedule, with Seattle-Tokyo achieving profitability and 90%+ load factors within a year of launch. Management suspended full-year guidance due to fuel cost volatility, though ALK maintains confidence in its long-term trajectory. Looking ahead, Q2 fuel costs are expected to average $4.50 per gallon, representing a 51% sequential increase and $600M headwind equivalent to $3.60/share. We believe the $10 2027 EPS target will be increasingly challenging given current fuel dynamics and guidance suspension, but operational excellence during integration demonstrates management's execution capabilities.
