monsitj/iStock via Getty Images Gold futures edged lower Tuesday as Brent crude oil rebounded following fresh U.S. attacks on Iran as well as persistent concerns over inflation and higher-for-longer interest rates. "The bond markets are thinking that the next rate move by ​the Federal Reserve is going to be an increase—a negative ​for the gold market," American Gold Exchange market analyst Jim Wyckoff said in a note. Brent crude climbed 3.5% as uncertainty prevailed over whether the U.S. and Iran would reach a deal ending their conflict and when shipping flows through the Strait of Hormuz would resume. Elevated crude oil prices risk fueling inflation and reinforcing expectations that interest rates will stay higher for longer, and higher borrowing costs tend to weigh on the non-yielding metal. Meanwhile, UBS lowered its year-end gold price target by $400/oz to $5,500/oz due to ⁠persistent ​risks from higher yields and a stronger ​dollar. Gold and silver demand are being reshaped by India's new import tariff regime, according to precious metals analysts at Heraeus, as the government recently raised import duties on gold and silver to 15% from 6%. The rupee can come under pressure when commodity prices rise, Heraeus analysts said in a note, and "historically, India has moved to shore up its currency by increasing taxes on imports to disincentivize them and improve its balance of payments." "Many Indian bullion investors have sold into the market" following the announcement, the analysts wrote. "This profit-taking led to discounts of ~$200/oz over official domestic prices on 14 May," as Indian banks had just restarted importing gold and silver after agreeing to pay the 3% Integrated Goods and Services Tax. "This follows a month-long pause on shipments, which combined with the increased duties on 13 May, could reduce India's gold and silver imports for Q2 2026 significantly," according to Heraeus.

伊朗称美国新袭击违反停火协议 路透社 2026年5月26日 上午11：58（北京时间）更新于29分钟前 摘要 美国称袭击了伊朗境内的船只和导弹阵地 伊朗称袭击“严重违反”协议，并援引报复权利 可能达成停止战争的初步协议，将引导进一步谈判 双方均淡化即将达成协议的前景 路透社5月26日电 —— 伊朗周二表示，美国在争议性的霍尔木兹海峡附近袭击目标，违反了停火协议，这可能使结束战争的努力复杂化。 伊朗外交部称，美国在伊朗南部霍尔木兹甘省的袭击是对已维持近七周的脆弱停火协议的“严重违反”。伊朗媒体此前报道周二凌晨该省传出爆炸声。美方表示其袭击属于防御性质，目标是试图布设水雷的导弹发射阵地和船只。 与此同时，美国国务卿鲁比奥表示，谈判达成停火协议可能需要“几天时间”。此前双方均表示在初步协议上取得进展——该协议旨在结束敌对行动并恢复海峡航运。这份初步协议将为谈判代表提供60天时间来处理更复杂的问题，包括伊朗核计划。 据伊朗媒体报道，伊朗谈判代表一直在推动将解冻数十亿美元被冻结资产写入谅解备忘录。 油价再次上涨 在美国发动袭击后，鲁比奥在飞往印度的飞机上对记者表示，霍尔木兹海峡“无论如何”都必须保持开放。 这场始于2月28日美以袭击伊朗的战争，已造成前所未有的石油供应冲击，推高了燃料、化肥和食品的价格。 霍尔木兹海峡正常情况下承担着全球约五分之一的石油和液化天然气贸易运输量，自战争爆发以来，其通航量仅为正常水平的一小部分。伊朗革命卫队表示，在过去24小时内，有25艘油轮及其他船只在获得伊朗许可后通过了该海峡。 全球基准布伦特原油期货周二上涨约3.5%，至每桶约100美元。 伊朗最高领袖表示：“时光无法倒流” 伊朗革命卫队周二表示保留对袭击进行报复的权利。他们称防空部队已击落一架美国无人机，并向另一架无人机和一架战斗机开火——他们称这些飞行器已进入伊朗在波斯湾地区的领空。 伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉·穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊就年度朝觐活动发表评论称：“从现在起，‘打倒美国’和‘打倒以色列’的口号将成为伊斯兰国家和全世界受压迫人民的口号。” 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普此前曾引用这些口号来证明对伊朗采取军事行动的合理性。 被冻结的伊朗资金 伊朗和美国官员表示，近期的间接谈判在谅解备忘录（即初步协议）上取得了进展，该备忘录将引导双方就最终协议进行进一步谈判。 据伊朗媒体报道，伊朗首席谈判代表穆罕默德...

格隆汇5月27日｜美国总统特朗普：确保商品期货交易委员会对预测市场专属管辖权得到维护至关重要。

SpaceX and the Pentagon have been bickering about the price of using Starshield satellite service during the Iran war, according to a Reuters report published today. It appears that SpaceX asked the military for more money after it started using satellite terminals on "kamikaze" attack drones in Iran. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk claimed the Reuters report is wrong. But Musk also said the military drones initially used the commercial Starlink service instead of the government-specific network, in violation of Starlink's terms of service. Musk blamed the violation on the contractor that built the drones for the government. The Reuters report, based on Pentagon documents and interviews with sources familiar with the pricing talks, said that SpaceX recently asked the military to pay $25,000 for Starshield access on each kamikaze drone. The Pentagon, which previously paid $5,000 for each connection, objected to the price hike but ultimately agreed to pay it, according to Reuters. Read full article Comments

Shares of Eos Energy Enterprises (EOSE +8.25%) surged on Tuesday, rallying 13% in early morning trading and closing the day up 8.3%. This company has developed zinc-based battery energy storage systems (BESS) as an alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries and is already sitting on a backlog worth of $600 million. A fresh analyst endorsement sent EOS stock soaring today. Eos Energy stock is gaining attention Analysts at Needham have initiated coverage of Eos Energy stock with a buy rating and a $11 price target. Needham released their rating just before the end of last week. The firm issued its rating late last week. With Eos Energy shares closing at $8.06 on May 21, Needham's target implied nearly 36% upside from the stock's closing price.

格隆汇5月27日｜随着马斯克正筹备着带领SpaceX上市，外界关于该公司将与特斯拉合并的传闻愈发升温。SpaceX预计将在两周多后在纳斯达克开始交易，此前该公司在今年早些时候与马斯旗下的人工智能公司xAI合并时获得了1.25万亿美元的私募市场估值。特斯拉目前的市值约为1.6万亿美元。两家公司已经共享了一系列资源，据知情人士透露，马斯克曾与同事讨论将两家公司合并的可能性。一位现任特斯拉员工称，该公司的许多员工长期以来一直预计这样的合并交易最终会发生，并且这个话题在公司内部是公开讨论的。另一位接近该公司的人士表示，由于电力和计算能力限制带来的共同挑战，两家公司经常进行合作。

下月滿80歲的美國總統特朗普接受年度身體檢查，他稱自己健康狀況極佳。 特朗普周二離開白宮，前往國家軍事醫學中心，逗留約三小時，這次是他重返白宮後第四次公開披露體檢安排。白宮稱是預防性的牙科和內科評估。之後特朗普在網上帖文，稱完成每六個月做一次的體檢，各項結果都完美。 有輿論認為美國將於11月舉行中期選舉，特朗普希望展示強健一面。不過早前有傳媒報道，特朗普頸部有色斑、手背瘀青，試過用化妝品遮蓋痕跡，白宮解釋是他定期服用阿士匹靈，頻繁握手導致瘀青，亦不會完全公布總統體檢結果。

We are approaching the third month since the traffic across the Strait of Hormuz declined significantly. Initially, the U.S. estimates talked about a war that would have lasted no more than eight weeks, but as of now the situation remains pretty much in a stalemate phase. The ceasefire halted bombings, but the Strait remains closed, and there is no relief for the global energy supply chain. Over the last few weeks, new important updates about the U.S. oil reserves came out, and some of them looked very concerning: From May 8 to May 15, the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) decreased by 9.90 million barrels , the largest single-week drawdown in history. Over the same reference period, U.S. commercial crude oil inventories dropped by 7.90 million barrels compared to the previous week. So, is the U.S. really running out of oil? Let’s see what the data tells us. Why the U.S. Oil Boom Can't Save Its Strategic Reserves The U.S. currently holds 819.18 million barrels of oil . This amount is the sum of two categories: Commercial Inventories (~445 million barrels), which represent the amount of oil reserves owned by private energy companies. These reserves are stored in commercial tank farms or inside oil refineries and are used for daily operations. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) (~374 million barrels), which is the government's emergency oil reserve and serves to counter potential energy shocks like the one we are currently facing. When the energy supply chain suffers a major blow, the government steps in and unleashes millions of barrels of oil. Simply put, you can consider the commercial inventories as your checking account and the SPR as your savings account. When you run out of money in your savings account, this is when things start to look very bad. Therefore, if we want to understand whether the U.S. can overcome the current energy crisis or not, we need to focus mostly on the SPR. Is the latter large enough? Well, it depends. EIA First of all, the timing in w...

Airbus SE sees an opportunity to build helicopters in Canada for global export if it wins upcoming government contracts, as the country embarks on a historic defense spending spree and pushes to expand manufacturing jobs. The European firm already employs more than 5,000 people in Canada, and it’s now growing its ambitions as Prime Minister Mark Carney ’s government seeks closer ties with Europe, said Olivier Michalon , executive vice president of global business for Airbus Helicopters. “Clearly, if Airbus helicopters are selected for any of the big upcoming campaigns and there is an industrial project which is tied to this contract, it’s an opportunity to export what would be manufactured here to the worldwide market,” he said in an interview in Ottawa. “We’re selling helicopters to 170 countries around the world and not everything has to come necessarily from our main plants in France or in Germany.” Carney’s government has launched a sweeping defense industrial strategy to spend more of its growing military budget at home and reduce reliance on US suppliers. As part of that shift, it’s demanding stronger job and investment commitments from foreign firms when it buys their gear. Airbus briefed reporters on Tuesday ahead of a major defense-industry exhibition in Canada’s capital. Germany and Poland’s defense ministers are slated to speak at CANSEC , which is drawing as many as 20,000 delegates — a sign of surging interest in selling military equipment to Canada. The company is eyeing three major helicopter projects in Canada, including for the Canadian Armed Forces , the Canadian Coast Guard and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police . Michalon said Airbus has been talking to government officials about their helicopter needs and how to generate more domestic value, and potentially exports, from Canada. Defense Minister David McGuinty ’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Read More: AirAsia Signs Major Deal for Airbus A220 Jets Made in Canada Mic...

The dollar index (DXY00) on Tuesday fell by -0.07%. The dollar moved lower on Tuesday amid signs that peace negotiations between the US and Iran are progressing, which curbed safe-haven demand for the dollar. Also, Tuesday's rally in the S&P 500 to a new record high has dampened liquidity demand for the dollar. In addition, Tuesday's -2% fall in crude oil prices lowers inflation expectations and may prompt the Fed to ease monetary policy, a negative factor for the dollar.

Key Points Bloom Energy is deploying energy servers to AI data centers -- and cashing in on the demand. Nano Nuclear Energy is developing a microreactor that could supply clean, reliable power. 10 stocks we like better than Bloom Energy › Energy is the vital force powering the economy. And as artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers create new demands for electricity, the energy sector is expected to grow immensely in the coming decades. For investors looking for exposure to this growing industry, the following two growth stocks are easily worth a $100 investment. 1. Bloom Energy Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) is hands down one of the most momentous energy stocks on the market today. The clean energy supplier has grown by over 200% since the start of the year -- and a whopping 1,450% since last year. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » In a nutshell, Bloom makes big box-shaped energy servers that allow businesses to generate electricity on-site instead of buying all of it from the grid. These mini power plants ensure the lights stay on even when the main power grid goes out. That makes them perfect for clients who need reliable 24/7 power, like hospitals and data centers. Indeed, one of Bloom's first "proof of concept" moments was in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, when it deployed energy servers to a field hospital in Sacramento. The 400-kilowatt (KW) "microgrid" was installed in less than a week and provided power to the makeshift medical facility, itself a response to California's overcrowded hospitals. Since 2025, Bloom's marquee client list has grown stronger due to high demand from AI data centers. Bloom inked its biggest deal with Brookfield Asset Management at the end of 2025, a $5 million agreement to deploy Bloom's servers for the asset manager's AI factories. It rec...

American companies are buying back their shares at a record pace. S&P 500 companies announced plans to buy back $665 billion worth of shares in the four months through April, the most ever to start a year, according to Bloomberg. Earlier this month, Apple AAPL announced a new $110 billion buyback program. And last week, NVIDIA NVDA announced an $80 billion share buyback plan. Share repurchases are down sharply for the rest of the Magnificent Seven this year, as these companies are spending heavily on their AI buildout. The ProShares S&P 500 Buyback Aristocrats ETF BUYB is the first and only ETF focused exclusively on companies with a consistent history of share buybacks. According to academic research, this strategy has historically tended to outperform other companies. Dividend-paying stocks have been out of favor lately, as most investors have piled into growth stocks, while dividend payers are traditionally more mature companies in old-economy sectors. The ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF NOBL invests in companies that have grown dividends for more than 25 years.

Hasan Piker Says Quiet Part Out Loud, Maps Radical Left NGO Network To China-Based Marxist Financier Far-left Turkish-American millionaire and Twitch streamer Hasan Piker appears to have committed an operational-security mistake by publicly identifying American Marxist tech financier Neville Roy Singham, who has reportedly been living in China and has been linked by The New York Times to CCP-aligned propaganda networks, as a major financier of pro-Marxist revolutionary NGOs operating inside the U.S. On Sunday, Piker discussed the U.S. Treasury's " Requests for Information " subpoena related to his "humanitarian trip" to Cuba with pro-China CodePink cofounder Susan Medea Benjamin. That story was first published by Fox News' lead NGO investigator, Asra Nomani , on Saturday. Piker pointed out that the Treasury likely has a broader target, is "probably Singham" and "his operation," naming PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation), ANSWER Coalition, Code Pink, and "anything that he has ever financed." He then acknowledged that Roy Singham lives in China and has been "a funding vehicle" for political movements and activism in the U.S. We're sure Singham network comrades are absolutely furious with Piker because, as NGO investigator Stu Smith wrote on X, "Hasan didn't refute the network. He mapped it." 🚨 Hasan Names Singham, PSL, ANSWER, and Code Pink in One Breath On stream today, Hasan Piker discussed the reported Treasury scrutiny and said the broader target is “probably Singham” and “his operation,” naming PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation), ANSWER Coalition, Code… pic.twitter.com/0zpYhJbPV2 — Stu Smith (@thestustustudio) May 25, 2026 Piker's disclosure of Singham on a livestream is significant because it appears to validate long-standing concerns from congressional, Treasury, and State Department investigators that the Singham-funded nonprofit network is not only engaged in charitable work but is also a far-left agitation network financed by Singham in China .

外長王毅在聯合國安理會主持高級別會議，就重振聯合國提出五點。他指中國會繼續擔大義、行大道，並呼籲成員國站穩多邊主義立場，履行憲章義務，團結應對挑戰，而不是「毀約退群」，更不能另搞一套。 中國作為聯合國安理會常任理事國，亦是本月輪值主席國，中共中央政治局委員兼外長王毅周二在紐約的聯合國總部主持高級別會議，討論維護聯合國憲章宗旨和原則，加強以聯合國為核心的國際體系。 外長王毅說︰「眼下的挑戰，考驗國際社會守護和平的信念，秉持公道的決心，革故鼎新的勇氣。我們要團結起來、行動起來，維護聯合國，激活聯合國、壯大聯合國。」 王毅就重振聯合國提出五點，第一是重振聯合國憲章，彰顯更強引領力。他指當今世界亂象的根源，不是憲章精神過時，而是憲章確立的國際秩序，未有得到有效維護。王毅呼籲成員國應該回歸憲章初心，履行憲章義務。 王毅稱︰「堅持主權平等，反對干涉內政，堅持和平解決爭端，反對使用武力，堅持維護二戰勝利成果，反對美化侵略歷史。大國尤其要負起責任，帶頭講法治、行正道，不能搞雙重標準，例外主義和選擇性的適用。」 王毅提到第二點是重振安理會權威，展現更強行動力。安理會成員身份不是特權而是責任，要超越國別私利，負責任運用國際公器。第三是重振國際發展合作，匯聚更強動員力。王毅稱聯合國要加強協調全球行動，在減貧等重點領域，為南方國家提供更多資金及技術，推動發達國家切實履行發展籌資承諾，並且反對保護主義和單邊行徑，反對經貿問題泛安全化，反對科技封鎖和脫鈎斷鏈。 第四是重振全球治理平台，塑造更強執行力。王毅提到面對層出不窮的新威脅及新挑戰，任何國家無法獨善其身，團結應對才是唯一出路。他呼籲各國要站穩多邊主義立場，發揮好聯合國作為全球治理的核心平台作用。第五是重振聯合國系統效能，培育更強生命力。王毅提到成員國要切實履行對聯合國的財政義務，不能動輒「毀約退群」，更不能另搞一套。聯合國亦要自我革新，更好適應時代發展。 王毅又提到，中國近期協助剛果民主共和國及烏干達應對伊波拉疫情，中方認真履行聯合國第二大會費國的財政義務，並成立「和平之友」小組，應對烏克蘭危機，凸顯中方積極推動聯合國事業。

财联社5月27日讯（编辑 史正丞） 当地时间周二，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）发布月球基地建设路线更新，同时基于最新路线图向多家商业航天公司授予订单。 （来源：NASA） 在周二的活动期间， NASA披露了3项计划于今年实施的月球基地任务 ，这些任务均属于NASA月球基地建造计划的第一阶段， 该阶段将持续到2029年 。随后在2029年至2032年的第二阶段中，NASA将组装半永久性设施，最终目标是 2032年实现人类在“月面持续存在” 。 具体来看，今年NASA的工作安排聚焦于两个问题： 怎么把载荷从地球送到月球、送上去后怎么在月面运输 。 其中， 蓝色起源公司将在“不早于2026年秋季”发射着陆器运送NASA有效载荷，验证航天器着陆相关的技术能力 。 随后，Astrobotic公司的“格里芬”着陆器将向月球输送超过1100磅的货物，其中包含Astrolab公司的FLIP月球车，将 对月面移动能力展开测试，并为未来月球地形车（LTV）的操作提供参考 。 顺便一提，NASA周二宣布向Astrolab公司授予2.19亿美元，用于建造并交付首批月球地形车（LTV），最终目标是在 2028年前向月球表面部署载人及无人移动系统 。另一家月球车开发商Lunar Outpost也拿到2.2亿美元的合同。 NASA表示，在月球基地开发初期部署多辆月球地形车，将有助于加速技术验证、优化基地选址规划，并在载人“阿耳忒弥斯”任务实施前降低运营风险。此举还能帮助NASA评估地形风险、运输物资、提前部署资源，并完善长期月球探索所需的关键系统。 在接下来的18个月里，入选厂商将完成月球车设计定稿、开展载人评估测试，并完成飞行级设备的适航认证，以确保具备实际运行能力。最终交付的月球地形车将用于自主行驶、地形整理、科学研究、技术验证以及宇航员运输等任务。 为了将这些月球车运送至月球南极区域，NASA还向蓝色起源公司授予了一份价值1.88亿美元的合同，并附带价值2.804亿美元的可选执行阶段，对应两项任务订单。该可选阶段是否启动，将取决于初始阶段的执行表现。 第三项任务相对偏重科研。 直觉机器公司的月球着陆器将携带科研载荷前往月球，研究月球表面的“月球漩涡” （lunar swirls）——即月表上的亮色斑纹区域，以帮助科学家进一步理解月球表面演化，以及物质在极端环境下的行为特性。 此次任务还将...
