The International Monetary Fund said Egypt’s economic reforms and stronger buffers are enabling the country to better weather external shocks, as the local pound reverses some losses after the Iran war ceasefire. The North African nation has learned from the experience of the 2022 outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war and its inflationary impact, Jihad Azour , director of the Middle East and Central Asia department at the IMF, said in an interview in Washington. “They allowed the exchange rate to be more flexible, to buffer any external shock, but also they have increased and built a high level of reserves that allows them to provide more comfort to the market,” he said. Iran War Tests Egypt’s Resilience After Bond Outflows Surge Egypt Holds Rates as Iran War Hits Pound, Drives Fuel Surge Iran War Drives Egyptian Inflation Rate to Highest Since May Although far from the epicenter of the conflict in the Persian Gulf, import-dependent Egypt’s economy has been roiled by the spillover effects. Billions of dollars of foreign-portfolio investment exited last month, sending its currency to a record low. The IMF more than doubled an existing Egyptian loan program to $8 billion in early 2024 as the Israel-Hamas war raged in neighboring Gaza. A key IMF condition was that the pound more accurately reflect supply and demand. That appears to be happening, with the pound starting to rebound since the US and Iran agreed a two-week ceasefire on April 8. Having traded at as low as 54.7 per dollar, the Egyptian currency was changing hands at 51.8 on Thursday, its strongest level in more than a month. Those gains have been fueled by an estimated $3 billion of foreign inflows into the local debt market over the past four trading days, according to investment bank EFG Hermes . That’s partly reversing about $8 billion of net outflows since mid-February, when the likelihood of an Iran war increased, and puts current foreign holdings at between $22 billion and $24 billion, the bank says.

格隆汇4月16日｜如果霍尔木兹海峡不能很快重开，英国在今年夏天世界杯期间恐将面临啤酒短缺。英国依赖二氧化碳进口，而碳酸饮料的生产、动物致晕和食品包装等环节都需要用到二氧化碳。生产二氧化碳是能源密集型产业，自从美国攻击伊朗、德黑兰方面关闭霍尔木兹海峡以来，天然气价格飙升，已危及国际供应。据英国政府称，欧洲几家工厂的维修也令市场供应承压。一位知情人士称，在一个代号为Exercise Turnstone的兵棋推演中，来自多个政府部门的官员们描摹了霍尔木兹海峡若在6月依然关闭，可能对二氧化碳供应造成的影响。《泰晤士报》最先报道了该计划。该报称，官员们发现英国可能会出现各类肉品和其他商品短缺，啤酒厂也可能受到影响。

John Swinney unveils his party’s manifesto, saying cost of living is the ‘defining issue’ for voters on 7 May UK politics live – latest updates The SNP will cap supermarket prices for essential goods like bread and milk if it retains power, John Swinney has pledged, after describing the cost of living as “the defining issue of this election”. With polls pointing to a fifth Holyrood term for the Scottish National party, its leader said he would use devolved public health powers to fix prices on 20 to 50 items such as bread, milk, cheese, eggs, rice and chicken because their rising cost was “impacting our nation’s nutrition”.

爱尔兰最大的银行——爱尔兰银行（Bank of Ireland）周四宣布，将寻求股东批准其从伦敦证券交易所（LSE）退市，理由是近年来其股票在伦敦市场的交易量微乎其微。 退市原因：交易量“可忽略不计”与成本考量 爱尔兰银行在一份声明中表示：“董事会认为，维持LSE上市的成本不再符合公司及其全体股东的利益。” 该行指出，近年来其普通股在LSE的交易量与整体交易活动相比“微不足道”（negligible）。 时间表：股东大会与生效日期 该退市提案将在2026年5月21日于都柏林举行的年度股东大会（AGM）上提交股东投票表决。若获得批准，退市预计将于2026年6月29日正式生效。 值得注意的是，此次退市仅针对伦敦市场，爱尔兰银行在都柏林泛欧交易所（Euronext Dublin）的上市地位将保持不变。 配套措施：小额股份收购要约 为配合退市并简化股权结构，爱尔兰银行还将在股东年会上寻求授权，在18个月内推出一项“小额股份收购要约”（Odd-lot Offer）。该计划允许持有30股或更少股份的小股东，以5%的溢价将股份回售给公司，且无需承担交易成本。 行业背景：伦敦市场的“退市潮” 这一决定对伦敦金融城而言是又一次打击。近年来，伦敦证券交易所已接连失去多家大型上市公司，企业普遍抱怨估值偏低、流动性不如其他国际金融中心。 值得注意的是，如果退市获批，伦敦市场将在短期内接连失去两家爱尔兰银行。就在本周二（4月14日），奥地利BAWAG集团已同意以16.2亿欧元收购另一家爱尔兰银行——Permanent TSB。此外，新闻标题中提到的爱尔兰建材供应商CRH也于近年从伦敦退市。 截至发稿：爱尔兰银行在都柏林的股价交易稳定，投资者正在关注5月股东大会的投票结果。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Mikie Sherrill says taxpayers should not carry burden Costs at World Cup have come under increased scrutiny New Jersey’s governor, Mikie Sherrill, has hit out at Fifa after reports her state’s transport system will charge $100 for a return ticket to World Cup matches this summer. New Jersey Transit lists the price for a round-trip ticket from New York’s Penn Station to MetLife Stadium, which will host eight World Cup matches this summer, including the final, as $12.90. The new pricing, reported by The Athletic earlier this week , puts the return ticket at more than $100 with no reductions for children, seniors or people with disabilities. NJ Transit told Fox 5 New York that the price has not been finalized. A decision is expected in the coming days. Continue reading...

智通财经获悉，最新数据显示，3月美国工业产出环比下降0.5%，低于市场预期的增长0.1%，显示经济动能面临新的下行压力。此前2月工业产出经修正后大幅增长0.7%。但进入3月，工厂、矿业及公用事业产出全面走弱。其中，占工业总产出约四分之三的制造业产出下降0.1%；公用事业产出则大幅下滑2.3%，矿业产出也录得下降。 在美以对伊战争爆发前，美国制造业一度显现复苏迹象。受益于贸易政策不确定性缓解及设备投资稳健，一季度工厂产出较此前三个月低谷有所反弹。区域数据亦显示制造业活动仍具韧性，例如费城联储制造业指数升至2021年以来较高水平，新订单与出货增长加快。 然而，随着能源与原材料成本上升，企业信心开始转弱。分析指出，若冲突持续，高成本环境可能抑制订单增长，拖累制造业复苏进程。 从细分行业来看，3月制造业下滑主要源于消费品、商业设备及原材料产出减少。汽车及零部件、基础金属及家具等行业均出现下滑。不过，剔除汽车后，制造业产出仍小幅增长0.1%，实现连续第三个月上升。 与此同时，产能利用率也有所下降。工厂产能利用率降至75.3%，整体工业利用率同步回落，反映需求与生产之间的匹配程度有所减弱。 尽管工业活动承压，劳动力市场表现依然稳健。最新数据显示，上周美国初请失业金人数减少1.1万人至20.7万人，为2月以来最大降幅，显示企业裁员规模仍然有限。

PhonlamaiPhoto/iStock via Getty Images I previously rated Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL ) as a Buy in November 2025, attributed to its beneficiary custom AI accelerator status through the strategic partnerships with two leading hyperscalers. In this article, I shall discuss why MRVL has been downgraded as a Hold, with the overly done rally negating its structurally robust, diversified, profitable growth prospects during the multi-year cloud super cycle. MRVL Proves Its AI Beneficiary Status MRVL 1Y Stock Price (Trading View) Since my last Buy rating upon a dip to the $80s for an improved margin of safety, my Buy Zones have already materialized numerous times in mid November 2025, February 2026, and March 2026, before MRVL charts an outsized stock price rally of +46.4% to record a new 52 week high of $138s. 1. Data Center Monetization Trends MRVL's recent price action is likely attributed to its two hyperscaler customers signaling the durability of their capex spending trends entering 2026, such as: Amazon ( AMZN ) at the CapEx guidance of $200 billion in FY2026 (+55.8% YoY) and Microsoft ( MSFT ) announcing numerous data center-related projects over the past few months after reporting YTD capex of $49.27B (+60.3% YoY). These developments are likely to be accretive to MRVL's top/bottom-line growth prospects, with it building upon their historical data center revenue growth from $2.4B in FY2023 to $6.1B in FY2026, expanding at a 3Y CAGR of +36.4%. The same has already been embedded in their FY2027 data center revenue growth guidance by +40% YoY and FY2028 by +50% YoY, with it building upon FY2026 levels of +46.7% YoY. With data center opportunities comprising an expanded ratio of MRVL's overall revenues at 74.3% in FY2026 (+2.3 points YoY/+40.1 from FY2021 levels of 34.2% ) and two of its hyperscaler clients hinting at further investments, I can understand why the stock has outperformed as it has thus far. This is especially since the management has highlight...

法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙周四在瓦卢瓦地区维莱科特雷的国际法语城向数百名中学生发表讲话，呼吁青少年关掉手机、拿起书本，并宣布将推动每月设立一个“离线日”（offline day），同时计划立法禁止15岁以下未成年人使用社交媒体。 马克龙：算法偷走了你们的注意力 马克龙在讲话中坦承，社会在社交媒体监管方面的缺失对青少年造成了伤害。“我们把你们留在了这片丛林里，而它夺走了你们的注意力，”马克龙对在场的学生说，“我们需要慢下来，帮助你们成长为成年人，更重要的是——成长为公民。” 他进一步阐述了“离线日”的构想：“我们希望每个月有一天‘离线日’，让大家远离屏幕。这一天可以用来大声朗读、做戏剧或其他活动，让大家亲身体验——离开屏幕是完全可以做到的。” 据法国总统府爱丽舍宫介绍，马克龙当天与约350名来自法兰西岛大区和亚眠市的学生进行了交流互动。他参加了由喜剧演员洛朗·斯托克主持的朗读工作坊，还接受了学生们的采访。 阅读：比短视频更有价值的精神滋养 在与学生们的对话中，马克龙分享了自己对阅读的理解。一名15岁的学生费尔达斯在参加完漫画创作工作坊后表示，他从中“学到了很多”关于漫画创作的知识——从调研、故事构思到铅笔稿和上色的全过程。 当被问及对阅读的看法时，马克龙说：“阅读对我来说很重要，能够爱上阅读是一种幸运。我不会对你们说‘必须读书’——那太可笑了，不是我去说服你们。但我发现，阅读能让我们学到很多东西，能带来视频给不了的东西。” 马克龙解释说，阅读“可以帮助我们理解事物，为我们的感受找到合适的表达”，同时也是一种“属于自我的时间”，让人能够集中注意力。“否则，我们在这个世界里永远处于分心的状态，”他强调道。 学生反应：有人支持，有人质疑 在现场采访中，学生们对总统的倡议反应不一。16岁的Keisha承认自己周末每天花8到12小时在手机上，“我在手机上花的时间比看书多得多”。15岁的Sharonn Tsimi Meyong则表示：“我不同意，年纪小的孩子会觉得被排斥在外。”同样15岁的Fabien Andronic也认为，检查手机使用时间应该由家长负责，“我喜欢社交网络，我们在那里学到了很多东西”。 但15岁的Manel Zerouali支持对15岁以下青少年实施禁令，因为他们需要保护。“在社交网络上，存在网络欺凌，”她强调说。 一个所有人都认同的观点是：大多数青少年会找到绕...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Analyst reaction to reports that Johnson Controls International ( JCI ) may divest parts of its security business has been notably measured, with Barclays suggesting the development largely aligns with expectations already embedded in investor thinking. In a research note following a Bloomberg report that the company is exploring the sale of its Access Control and Intrusion Detection units, potentially worth up to $4.5 billion, Barclays analysts led by Julian Mitchell framed the news less as a catalyst and more as a confirmation of a long-anticipated strategic shift. “We had discussed the likely sale of some of JCI’s Security assets… and this press report is very consistent with that note,” according to Barclays. Muted surprise, mixed implications Rather than focusing on the headline valuation or deal mechanics, analysts zeroed in on what the move would mean for Johnson Controls’ ( JCI ) portfolio and earnings profile. Barclays suggested the market could view the potential divestiture modestly positively, primarily due to portfolio simplification and a higher concentration in HVAC and data center exposure, areas seen as more attractive growth drivers. However, that optimism is tempered by uncertainty around the exact scope of assets being sold and the earnings dilution that could follow. The firm estimates that, absent any reinvestment of proceeds, a sale could result in roughly 5% dilution to adjusted earnings per share, driven in part by tax leakage that could consume about 20% of gross proceeds. Execution matters The more critical question for analysts is not whether Johnson Controls ( JCI ) sells these assets, but how it deploys the proceeds. Barclays highlighted that if the company uses proceeds for share buybacks while increasing leverage to around 2.0x net debt-to-ebitda, the EPS impact could effectively be neutralized. This framing underscores a broader analyst stance: the transaction itself is less important than ...
