Trump Signs Pipeline Permits To Boost US–Canada Oil Flow Authored by Kimberley Hayek via The Epoch Times, President Donald Trump issued several pipeline permits on April 15, including one for the construction of a new pipeline to facilitate the transportation of crude oil and petroleum products between the United States and Canada, according to documents released by the White House. The action covers four permits in total. The permit authorizing construction was issued to the Bakken Pipeline Company LP for pipeline facilities in Burke County, North Dakota. Other permits were issued for the maintenance and operation of existing pipelines at border locations in North Dakota and Michigan. The recipients of those operational permits are “Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership” and “Enbridge Pipelines (Southern Lights) L.L.C.”—both indirect subsidiaries of Canadian pipeline giant Enbridge Inc. According to the White House documents, the permits cover transport of crude oil and petroleum products of every description—refined and unrefined—including naphtha, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas liquids, jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene, and diesel. The permits explicitly exclude natural gas subject to the Natural Gas Act. Wednesday’s permits reflect the administration’s sweeping effort to expand America’s domestic and cross-border energy infrastructure. At the CERAWeek energy conference March 2025 in Houston, Energy Secretary Chris Wright had said that Trump’s pledge to lower energy costs by boosting oil and natural gas production would require a corresponding increase in infrastructure investment. “If ‘Drill, baby, drill’ is to [lower energy costs], we’re going to have to ‘Build, baby, build,’” Wright told reporters. The Enbridge permits issued Wednesday supersede authorizations dating to 1991, 1994, and 2008, effectively reissuing and consolidating federal approval under the current administration. The cross-border pipeline landscape has grown increasingly complex in recent ye...

此外，伊朗冲突利好中国绿色产业综合体，全国有色人种协进会就燃气轮机问题起诉埃隆・马斯克的 xAI 炼铜会副产硫酸。 想要看清伊朗冲突的影响如何蔓延，看看罗伯特・弗里德兰眼下硫酸的售价便可知晓。 他旗下的艾芬豪矿业近期在刚果（金）投产了非洲规模最大的铜冶炼厂。该厂在生产过程中会副产硫酸 —— 这一全球应用最广泛的工业化学品。 五年前测算该项目成本收益时，弗里德兰预估硫酸价格约为每吨 150 美元。如今价格却一路飙升。艾芬豪近期售价已达每吨 500 美元，当地现货市场价格更是逼近每吨 800 美元。 “一两个月后，价格可能涨到任何水平，” 弗里德兰在采访中表示，“很快所有人都会记住 H₂SO₄这个化学式。”H₂SO₄是这种无色腐蚀性液体的化学符号。 艾芬豪只是全球供应链上的一环，在这条链条中，化石燃料支撑着那些号称要替代它的各类技术。硫酸用途极广，其中关键一项便是加工电动汽车电池所需的金属。而硫酸的主要原料，正是炼油厂从石油、天然气中脱除的硫磺。 随着霍尔木兹海峡出口受限，这条鲜为人关注的供应链正承受极限考验。从化肥生产商到用硫酸清洗芯片的半导体制造商，所有依赖硫酸的行业都将受到严重冲击。 “在我们这代人的记忆里，从未见过规模如此之大的潜在供应中断。” 弗里德兰说。 炼铜主要有两种工艺。艾芬豪采用硫化铜矿火法冶炼，并将副产硫酸卖给采用另一种工艺的铜生产商。后者需要用硫酸从氧化铜矿中浸出金属。 这类生产商耗酸量极大：咨询机构 CRU 数据显示，根据矿石品位不同，硫酸与成品铜的消耗比可达 2：1 至 20：1。通常他们使用的硫酸，是由进口硫磺在专门的焚烧装置中加工制成。而全球一半的硫磺出口都要经过霍尔木兹海峡。 CRU 分析师彼得・哈里森表示，霍尔木兹海峡封锁后，本就复杂的硫磺与硫酸市场变得 “极度混乱”。 各国政府最担忧的是供应短缺对粮食安全的冲击。生产磷肥是硫酸最主要的用途。 据媒体报道，中国方面上周宣布自 5 月起暂停硫酸出口。中国拥有全球半数的铜精炼产能，相关冶炼厂也是硫酸生产大户。这一供应缺口，对采用酸浸工艺的矿商 —— 包括智利部分铜企 —— 而言十分棘手。 但哈里森称，铜矿商相比印度化肥生产商等企业，更有能力争抢有限的硫酸供应。铜价持续大涨，且生产商大多已提前锁定硫酸采购价格。 与此同时，作为产酸型矿企，艾芬豪相比用酸企业占据明显优势，弗里德兰也因此受益。但他...

pidjoe The Trump administration plans to preserve billions of dollars in funding previously awarded by the Biden administration for hydrogen ventures and other projects backed by companies such as Exxon Mobil ( XOM ), Chevron ( CVX ), Exelon ( EXC ), EQT ( EQT ), and Bloom Energy ( BE ), Bloomberg reported Thursday. Also reportedly revived were a pair of direct-air capture projects that had been selected by the Biden administration to split $1.2B, one from Occidental Petroleum ( OXY ) and another from Climeworks AG and Heirloom Carbon Technologies. Funding for an Indiana cement plant that will incorporate carbon-capture technology and led by Heidelberg Materials' ( HDLMY ) ( HLBZF ) North American subsidiary also was reinstated, according to the report . Bloomberg cited a 39-page list from the U.S. Department of Energy that was provided to House Appropriations Committee members and details ~2,000 funding awards the agency plans to "retain or modify."

巴西植物油行业协会（Abiove）周四（4月16日）发布月度报告，再次上调2026年巴西大豆出口和加工量预期，创下新的历史纪录。然而，创纪录的供应量正对国际粮商的营收构成压力，ADM等巨头面临挑战。 出口与压榨量双双创纪录 根据Abiove最新数据，2026年巴西大豆出口量预计将达到1.136亿吨，较3月预测的1.115亿吨上调210万吨。大豆加工量（压榨）预计为6220万吨，同样高于此前预测的6150万吨。 2025/26年度巴西大豆产量预测维持在1.7785亿吨不变，仍为历史最高水平。 豆粕与豆油出口同步增长 随着压榨量提升，豆粕和豆油产量及出口预期也相应上调： 豆粕产量：预计达4790万吨 豆粕出口：预计达2460万吨 豆油产量：预计达1250万吨 豆油出口：预计达150万吨，同比增长3.3% Abiove经济与监管事务主任Daniel Furlan Amaral表示：“加工量预期的上调，凸显了巴西产业在创纪录收成面前的韧性。将原材料转化为高附加值产品，巩固了巴西能源矩阵和食品供应的支柱。” 对ADM等国际粮商的双重影响 供应压力下的营收挑战 创纪录的供应量对ADM等国际粮商构成双重影响。 一方面，作为全球最大的粮食贸易和加工企业之一，ADM是巴西大豆供应链的重要参与者，庞大的出口和加工量为其提供了充足的业务规模。 另一方面，创纪录的供应加剧了市场竞争，可能导致大豆及相关产品价格承压。ADM在其2025年财报中已提到，全球油籽供应充足对加工利润率构成压力。巴西供应的持续增长可能进一步挤压ADM在贸易和加工环节的利润空间。 巴西大豆的市场地位 ADM在中国市场深耕三十年，大豆是其从巴西进口的核心农产品之一。2025年巴西大豆出口额达435亿美元，是中国最大的大豆供应国。随着巴西供应量持续创纪录，中国进口商的选择空间进一步扩大，这可能影响ADM等贸易商的定价能力。 行业展望 Abiove此次调整发布之际，正值全球农产品市场密切关注南美供应形势。巴西大豆的创纪录产量和出口预期，一方面有助于缓解全球植物油和蛋白粕的供应紧张，另一方面也对国际粮商的利润空间形成持续压力。 分析人士指出，ADM等公司需要在“量”与“价”之间寻求平衡——供应量扩大带来业务规模，但价格压力可能侵蚀利润率。随着巴西大豆收获进入尾声，全球市场将密切关注实际出口进度及其对ADM等粮商财报的影响。 责...

lcva2 PepsiCo ( PEP ) rose in Thursday morning trading after the food and beverage giant topped first-quarter estimates. Notably, CEO Ramon Laguarta said the company is not seeing a change in consumer behavior from the rise in gas prices. Evercore ISI analyst Robert Ottenstein highlighted that PepsiCo ( PEP ) had a solid quarter as the PepsiCo Foods North America division delivered both volume and net revenue growth in Q1, with good performance across most large, well-recognized brands. Wells Fargo analyst Chris Carey said the PepsiCo ( PEP ) report is likely to be a “few surprises” kind of print with results about in line and guidance maintained, helped by commodity hedging near term. Looking ahead, Carey said the debate likely remains focused on the path of the North American acceleration and at what cost in terms of margins. Seeking Alpha analyst Steven Fiorillo highlighted that PepsiCo ( PEP ) bulls finally got the quarter they've been waiting for. "North America is turning, organic growth picked back up to 2.6%, and the 210 bps of operating margin expansion tells me productivity savings and the brand restaging work are actually hitting the P&L now rather than getting eaten by input costs," he updated. Fiorillo also noted that PepsiCo's ( PEP ) guidance for 2026 is affirmed, the 54th straight dividend hike is in, and the company walks into the back half of the year with more momentum than it's had in a long time. Shares of PepsiCo ( PEP ) were up 2.0% at 10:59 a.m. and are 10% higher on a year-to-date basis.

轮胎原材料合成橡胶价格与国际原油高度绑定。 4月中旬以来，轮胎行业迎来新一轮涨价潮。第一财经记者获悉，4月14日，普利司通率先发布《关于价格调整的通知》，宣布自2026年5月1日起对乘用车商品买入价格上调3%-5%。次日（4月15日），中策橡胶、赛轮轮胎、万力轮胎三家国内轮胎企业集体发布调价通知。 中策橡胶表示，自4月16日起对部分全钢产品及内胎垫带价格上调：全钢16寸轻卡轮胎统一上调1%；全钢215/75R16 EV505轮胎上调3%；丁基内胎价格上调2%-5%，垫带价格上调3%。赛轮轮胎通知经销商，自2026年5月1日起对TBR（卡车和客车子午线轮胎）产品价格上调3%-5%。万力轮胎宣布自5月10日起对TBR内销所有品牌产品价格上调3%-4%。 此外，4月11日，腾森橡胶宣布自2026年5月1日起全线产品分规格上调10%。4月9日，八亿橡胶发布通知，自4月27日起对各产品系列价格上调2%-3%；同日，启润轮胎宣布自4月25日起对国内替换市场TBR所有品牌全系产品价格上调2%-3%。 国内一家轮胎企业高管向第一财经记者表示，受原材料涨价影响，轮胎出现普涨行情。 从上述通知可以看出，本轮轮胎涨价潮呈现三大特征：一是覆盖范围广，从外资巨头到本土龙头企业全线参与；二是品类齐全，乘用车胎、全钢载重胎、轻卡胎、内胎垫带均被纳入；三是调价节奏密集，4月中下旬至5月初为集中执行期。 综合各企业通知中的表述，本轮轮胎涨价的直接驱动力来自成本端的全面承压。普利司通在通知中称：“受复杂多变的国际形势及全球大宗商品市场波动影响，轮胎原材料价格持续上涨。”万力轮胎进一步细化：“自4月以来，轮胎原材料价格持续高位运行。受中东地缘冲突、东南亚橡胶主产区停割及全球市场复杂变动等因素影响，轮胎原材料价格大幅攀升，轮胎生产成本远超预期。” 另外，中策橡胶、赛轮集团、八亿橡胶、启润轮胎等企业在通知中均提及“原材料价格持续上涨”或“高位运行”导致制造成本不断增加。 卓创资讯分析师郭娟分析称，轮胎生产成本中原材料占比超70%，其中天然橡胶、合成橡胶、炭黑三大核心原料合计占比超60%，其价格波动直接决定轮胎成本走势。2026年尤其是3月以来，轮胎核心原材料价格同步进入上行通道，叠加钢丝帘线、助剂等辅料及能源、物流成本上涨，共同推高轮胎生产成本，成为本轮涨价的核心推手。 天然橡胶方面，光大期货能源化工分析师...
