美国柴油价格自2022年12月以来首次突破每加仑5美元，由于伊朗战争持续扰乱供应，给这一世界最大经济体的方方面面带来进一步压力。 根据美国汽车协会数据，周一全美平均零售价达到每加仑5.044美元，自伊朗冲突爆发以来价格大幅上涨。由于霍尔木兹海峡航运依然关闭，这场战争几乎切断了来自波斯湾的燃料、原油、天然气和化肥供应。 柴油是美国货运、农业和建筑业的关键动力来源，零售价格的大涨会对整体经济产生连锁反应。由于波斯湾炼油厂是柴油的主要供应来源，其价格上涨速度远超其他大多数石油产品。 美国一些州的柴油价格已经超过每加仑5美元。根据美国能源信息署，与柴油几乎可互换使用的居民供暖油价格也升至5美元以上。对美国总统特朗普而言，如果燃料价格持续走高，可能会给今年晚些时候的中期选举前景蒙阴。 责任编辑：刘明亮

格隆汇3月17日丨马斯克近日在社交媒体X上对有关“谷歌DeepMind注定会赢得人工智能竞赛”的说法做出了回应。马斯克表示认同，但只是暂时认同，他指出，“在未来几年内，SpaceX的成就将远远超过所有人工智能公司加起来的总和。”这一表态突显出马斯克对SpaceX更为宏大的信心，即AI领域未来的领导地位可能并不仅仅局限于那些开发聊天机器人和语言模型的公司。

maybefalse/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Alibaba Group ( BABA ) has launched a new enterprise-focused artificial intelligence platform, called Wukong, aimed at automating business tasks and stepping up competition in China’s fast-growing AI agent market. The platform can coordinate multiple AI agents to handle tasks such as document editing, spreadsheet updates, meeting transcription and research within a single interface. It is currently available through an invitation-only beta testing. The launch follows Alibaba’s recent reorganization under its new Alibaba Token Hub (ATH) unit, highlighting a broader push into enterprise AI. Wukong is the flagship product of the new business unit. Users can access Wukong as a ‌standalone ⁠ desktop application or through DingTalk, Alibaba’s workplace collaboration platform. The platform is also expected to integrate with tools such as Slack ( CRM ), Microsoft Teams ( MSFT ), and WeChat ( TCEHY ). The move comes amid rising interest in AI agents in China, driven by the recent popularity of open-source tools like OpenClaw. Last week, Alibaba launched a dedicated mobile app that it says allows users to install and deploy OpenClaw within minutes, intensifying competition among China’s tech giants to capitalize on the viral agentic AI assistant. Last month, the company unveiled a new AI model called Qwen3.5 aimed at executing complex tasks independently, with improvements in performance and cost. Alibaba's AI models face tough competition in the Chinese market from models built by companies such as ByteDance ( BDNCE ), Baidu ( BIDU ), and DeepSeek ( DEEPSEEK ). Last month, Alibaba said it planned to spend around 3B yuan (about $431M) in total on Qwen’s overall holiday giveaway campaign.

财联社3月17日讯（编辑 马兰） 美国政府周一表示，电动车制造商特斯拉已经与韩国的LG能源解决方案公司签署供应协议，后者将在位于美国密歇根州兰辛市的独立工厂生产电池，并向特斯拉供货。 美国政府指出，美国生产的电池将应用于特斯拉Megapack 3储能系统中，从而建立强大的美国电池供应链。LG能源的兰辛工厂预计将在2027年投产。 该协议也是特朗普政府在印太能源安全峰会上一系列协议的一部分。去年7月就有消息人士透露，LG能源签署了一项价值43亿美元的协议，将在未来三年内向全球供应磷酸铁锂电池。当时市场普遍猜测LG能源的客户就是特斯拉。 除了LG能源的项目之外，美国政府还公布了总额达560亿美元的能源和基础设施投资项目，并将电池产业设为电力基础设施的核心支柱。 关键意义 业内普遍认为，LG能源与特斯拉的这份协议意义重大，这是LG能源首次获得棱柱形磷酸铁锂电池的大宗合同。 此外，由于全球磷酸铁锂电池市场由中国公司主导，但中国公司在美国的生产份额较小，导致依赖于中国电池的特斯拉面临美国补贴政策上的本地化条款限制，进而可能打击特斯拉的市场竞争力。 在这种情况下，分析人士认为，与已在美国本地建立生产网络的LG能源合作，可能对特斯拉构建以北美为中心的电池供应链发挥重要作用。 此次合作也被视为两家公司的电池合作伙伴关系的一次拓展，从以电动汽车为中心延伸至储能系统领域，同时也代表着LG能源具备在北美供应储能系统电池的能力。 由于人工智能数据中心的普及和可再生能源的扩张，北美地区的电力需求激增，也带动了储能系统需求的增长。据消息称，三星SDI在去年1月签署的价值约3万亿韩元的储能系统磷酸铁锂电池供应合同的客户也是特斯拉。

tadamichi Stock futures edged lower Tuesday premarket, while oil prices ticked higher amid the ongoing Iran war. Here are some of Tuesday's biggest stock movers: Biggest stock gainers New Era Energy ( NUAI ) +9% - Shares climbed after the company announced the appointment of Ted Warner as Chief Financial Officer, effective March 16, 2026. Warner previously led the energy, power, and digital infrastructure practice at Northland Capital Markets and brings nearly 20 years of experience across capital markets, investment banking, and energy advisory. As part of his appointment, the company granted inducement equity awards, including restricted stock units tied to 610,673 shares and performance-based RSUs tied to 1.22M shares, aligning leadership incentives with long-term shareholder value. Biggest stock losers LENSAR ( LNSR ) -19% - Shares plunged after the company and Alcon ( ALC ) mutually agreed to terminate their planned acquisition, citing expectations that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would challenge the deal. Lensar said it will retain the $10M deposit tied to the merger agreement. The termination comes after Alcon had agreed in March to acquire Lensar for $14 per share. Despite the setback, CEO Nick Curtis said the company remains focused on driving growth of its ALLY Robotic Cataract Laser System and advancing cataract surgery innovation.

The redeployment of US military assets from the Asia-Pacific to the Middle East has split security analysts, with some arguing that any strategic damage is largely “psychological” while others warn of a real and measurable gap opening in the region’s defences. More than 2,000 marines and at least one amphibious assault ship have begun moving from Japan towards the Gulf as the US-Israeli war on Iran grinds on. The assault ship USS Tripoli, docked at Sasebo in Nagasaki prefecture, is expected to reach the Middle East within one to two weeks. Advertisement US troops dismantle a launch vehicle of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system at an American military base in Seongju, South Korea, on March 5.

三星电子上市三个月左右的Galaxy Z TriFold智能手机将逐步停售，这表明这款售价2899美元的手机从一开始就更像是展示技术实力，而非将其作为移动产品线的主力机型。 该公司发言人表示，三星电子将先在韩国本土市场停售这款三折叠手机，等清理剩余库存后就停止在美销售。这一举措其实早有端倪：本月三星官网就不再预告这款先进折叠屏手机会补货。官网如今仅显示TriFold“已售罄”。 根据社交媒体和Reddit上的帖子，消费者仍能在美国德州弗里斯科以及纽约皇后区的三星体验店找到库存，说明市面上仍有少量机型可购。 三星去年底推出这款设备，旨在彰显其技术实力，但其售价不菲，市场一开始就局限在少数高端尝鲜用户中。该机型12月12日在韩国首发，售价359万韩元。美国市场则于今年1月上市。 责任编辑：刘明亮

The former archbishop delves deep into a word that is easy to use on social media, but hard to follow through on You don’t need to scroll far down a social media feed to find someone expressing “solidarity” for the victims of cruelty or injustice. A show of solidarity feels more emphatic than expressing support or sympathy. As Rowan Williams argues, it can act as “a moral intensifier”, positioning us squarely alongside the victim. It can also be a declaration of innocence, a way of distancing ourselves definitively from the perpetrators and their guilt. Williams wants to move us beyond this idea of solidarity as unequivocal identification. He has some sharp things to say about “empathy” as a modern solve-all, when it too often serves the needs of “a clamorous self” that “cannot bear the idea of a real stranger”. True solidarity, he argues, is less a virtue to be cultivated than a human condition to be acknowledged. It requires us to accept two stubborn truths: first, that we can never identify completely with someone else, because we are inescapably separate from them in mind and body; and second, that we are innately social beings, linked to each other by invisible threads of obligation and reciprocity.
