特朗普:不願繼續提高對華關稅

據彭博,特朗普總統表示,他不願繼續提高對華關稅,因爲這可能會阻礙兩國貿易。他還堅稱,中國曾多次主動聯繫,試圖促成協議。

特朗普週四表示,他不願繼續提高這些關稅,並暗示他可能願意降低這些關稅。

他稱: “在某個點上,我不希望它們繼續上漲,因爲到了某個點上,人們就不會再買了。所以我可能不想再漲了,或者我甚至不想漲到那個水平。我可能想少花錢,因爲你知道,你想讓人們買賬。”

特朗普再次要求鮑威爾降息

據彭博,特朗普在社交媒體上猛烈抨擊美聯儲主席鮑威爾,稱解僱他太過容易,並認爲美聯儲今年就應該降息,而且無論如何都應該立即行動。

當天晚些時候,特朗普告訴記者,如果自己願意,他可以迫使鮑威爾下臺。

另據華爾街日報,知情人士透露,美國總統特朗普私底下討論過將美聯儲主席鮑威爾免職的問題。但前美聯儲理事沃什(Kevin Warsh)、財長貝森特都反對。

歐洲央行如期降息

據彭博,由於貿易緊張局勢威脅到經濟復甦,歐洲央行自去年6月以來第七次降息。

存款利率下調了25個基點至2.25%,符合分析師的預期。

歐洲央行在其貨幣政策聲明中放棄了“限制性”一詞。但由於官員們強調歐洲目前面臨的阻力,市場對進一步降息的押注有所增加。 

歐洲央行行長拉加德週四表示:“全球貿易緊張局勢的大幅升級及其相關的不確定性可能會抑制出口,從而降低歐元區經濟增長,並可能拖累投資和消費。金融市場情緒的惡化可能導致融資條件收緊。”

特朗普:美烏礦產協議將於24日簽署

美國總統特朗普表示,與烏克蘭的礦產協議將於24日簽署。此外,當天早些時候,烏克蘭總統澤連斯基在新聞發佈會上透露,烏克蘭與美國極有可能在17日簽署關於礦產資源協議的意向備忘錄。據瞭解,烏克蘭副總理目前正在負責起草相關文本。澤連斯基強調,這份備忘錄意義重大,是雙方合作的重要開端。

Netflix第一季度營收同比增長13% 盈利大幅超出預期

綜合自CNBC、路透社,Netflix公佈第一季度營收爲105.4億美元,略高於分析師105.2億美元的預期,同比增長近13%;每股收益爲6.61美元,高於分析師5.71美元的預期。

Netflix預計,今年二季度的營收將增至110.4億美元,高於分析師109億美元的預期。 

Netflix重申了其全年營收在435億美元-445億美元的預測,“這假設會員數量健康增長、訂閱價格上漲以及廣告收入大致翻番”

對於特朗普高關稅帶來的影響,Netflix表示:“我們的整體業務前景沒有發生重大變化。” 

禮來股價飆升

據路透,禮來公司股價飆升14%。

該公司表示,在一項針對糖尿病患者的試驗中,其實驗性藥物在降低體重和血糖方面的效果與諾和諾德的減肥藥Ozempic一樣好。

禮來表示,預計該款藥物將在今年年底前獲得監管機構的批準。
