Asian Markets Hit by Oil Price Surge! Who Will Emerge as the Next Wealth Winner in This Storm?

Recently, a storm triggered by skyrocketing oil prices has swept across Asian equity markets. Major indices have suffered significant setbacks; notably, the Straits Times Index (STI) plunged 1.89% this Monday, as panic gripped the market. In such turbulent times, how does Professor Henry Ng, head of SLGM • Global Business Academy, decipher the market’s pulse and formulate rational trading strategies for his students? I. The Core of the Storm: Why Oil Price Surges Shake Asian Markets The root cause of this Asian market crash lies in the sharp rise in oil prices triggered by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. This critical waterway handles approximately 20% of global crude oil shipments. As the region with the highest dependence on petroleum imports, Asia’s oil and gas trade deficit accounts for 2.1% of its GDP—far exceeding the Eurozone’s 1.5% and the United States’ 0.04%. Should shipping through the strait be obstructed, the energy supply for Asian economies will face immense challenges. Since the beginning of 2026, international oil prices have behaved like a "bolting horse." Brent crude futures have surged from $85 per barrel at the start of the year to over $120 today—an increase of more than 40%. This spike is not accidental; it is the result of multiple converging factors: Geopolitical Conflicts: Tensions in Middle Eastern oil-producing regions have heightened expectations of supply contraction. Demand Rebound: During the global economic recovery, energy demand has bounced back beyond expectations, widening the supply-demand gap. Macro Factors: A weakening U.S. Dollar Index and speculative capital maneuvering have collectively propelled oil prices into a new upward cycle. II. Through the Fog: Key Signals in the Current Market Significant Sector Divergence: Amidst the market sell-off, a clear divergence between sectors has emerged. Oil and gas sectors across Asia have benefited from rising prices, creating favorable conditions for growth. We previously witnessed a rare "continuous rally" among several oil and gas stocks, with average gains reaching 15%. Although they have since seen some retracement, their overall performance remains relatively resilient. In contrast, Technology stocks have taken a heavy hit. Since the start of 2026, the Hang Seng Tech Index has dropped 12.45%, while U.S. tech giants such as Intel, NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft have recently delivered mediocre performances. This is primarily due to market skepticism regarding the sustainability of AI spending, combined with rising inflation expectations driven by oil prices, which continues to suppress tech valuations. When the "flames" of oil prices burn fiercely, Asian stock markets are the first to feel the heat. As the core engine of global economic growth, Asian economies are generally highly dependent on external energy. Japan, South Korea, and India all have oil import dependency ratios exceeding 80%, while China’s dependency is nearing 70%. Skyrocketing oil prices directly inflate production costs and squeeze profit margins. Asian enterprises, which rely on manufacturing as their backbone, are facing the dual pressure of rising raw material prices and climbing logistics costs. This has led to setbacks and declines in the Malaysian and Singaporean stock markets. This capital storm triggered by oil has plunged Asian equities into a state of panic. Investors are offloading stocks in favor of safe-haven assets like Gold and Treasury bonds. The deterioration of market sentiment has further fueled the decline, creating a vicious cycle. III. Many SLGM • Global Business Academy students can’t help but ask: Will rising oil prices truly crush Asian stock markets? In-Depth Analysis: The Interlinked Logic Between Oil Prices and Asian Equities To answer this question, we must conduct an in-depth dissection of the interlinked logic between oil prices and Asian stock markets. Historical data reveals that the relationship between the two is not a simple negative correlation, but rather a complex, dynamic association. In the early stages of economic recovery, a moderate rise in oil prices often reflects improving demand. During such periods, expectations for corporate earnings increase, and the stock market typically embarks on a bullish trend. However, when oil prices rise too rapidly or the magnitude of the increase becomes excessive, it creates a negative impact on the economy, thereby suppressing stock market performance. The SLGM • Global Business Academy Research Department believes that the impact of rising oil prices on Asian stock markets is primarily transmitted through the following channels: III.1. The Cost Transmission Channel Rising oil prices directly increase production costs, particularly for energy-intensive industries. Aviation, Shipping, and Logistics: Fuel is one of the primary operating costs. A surge in oil prices leads directly to declining corporate profits. Chemicals, Plastics, and Rubber: Petroleum is a vital raw material. Higher oil prices drive up the cost of these materials, further inflating production expenses. If companies cannot fully pass these increased costs on to consumers through higher product prices, their profit margins will be squeezed, putting downward pressure on their stock prices. III.2. The Inflationary Channel Surging oil prices trigger significant inflationary pressure. As a critical industrial raw material and energy source, its price hike ripples through the entire supply chain, driving up the costs of various goods and services. Monetary Policy:Rising inflation rates often prompt central banks to adopt tightened monetary policies, such as raising interest rates or increasing reserve requirement ratios. Economic Impact:These measures increase financing costs for enterprises, suppress investment, and dampen consumer spending. This ultimately hinders economic growth and corporate earnings, creating a bearish outlook for the stock market. IV. SLGM • Global Business Academy’s Solution: Market Outlook & Trading Strategies IV.1. Prioritize Short-term Defense; Focus on Safe-Haven Sectors As long as geopolitical risks persist and the upward trend of oil prices remains uncertain, a defensive strategy should be adopted for short-term trading. Focus on safe-haven sectors such as Oil & Gas, Banking, and Utilities. Oil & Gas:Directly benefits from rising prices. With ongoing tensions in the Middle East, oil prices are expected to remain elevated, providing strong support for corporate earnings. Banking:Characterized by low valuations and high dividend yields, banks often demonstrate strong resilience during market volatility. Utilities:With stable demand and minimal impact from economic cycles, this sector offers investors relatively consistent returns. IV.2. Energy Transition: Embracing the Green Revolution Skyrocketing oil prices highlight the instability and high costs of traditional energy, creating massive opportunities within the energy transition sector. As the world prioritizes environmental protection and sustainable development, the new energy industry has entered a "golden age" of growth. Clean Energy:The development of solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear energy continues to expand. Companies in these fields are poised for rapid earnings growth, positioning this sector as the next major wealth frontier. IV.3. Energy Tech Innovation: Tapping into the Technology Dividend Rising oil prices will also accelerate the development of energy technology innovation. To reduce dependence on traditional energy and improve efficiency, companies worldwide are increasing their R&D investments. Innovative breakthroughs in energy-saving technologies, smart grid systems, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) are emerging rapidly. Energy-Saving Tech:Helps enterprises lower energy consumption and reduce production costs. Smart Grid Tech:Enables efficient energy distribution and utilization, enhancing the stability of the energy supply. Conclusion In summary, while rising oil prices have brought short-term shocks to Asian stock markets, the fundamental economic outlook for Asia remains unchanged. Corporate earnings continue to show resilience, and opportunities are hidden within the crisis. Investment potential abounds in New Energy, Energy Tech Innovation, and Resource sectors, while Defensive sectors provide stable returns. Students must remain rational and calm. Formulate a sound strategy by balancing risks and returns through diversification, long-term positioning, and dynamic adjustments.

Kincora Consolidates, Commences Geophysics and Forms Partnership at Cowal East

Expansion of tenure, commencement of sole-funded exploration and next-generation "quantum" gravity partnership at wholly owned Cowal East project within the highly prospective Cowal Igneous Complex of the Macquarie ArcHighlights40% expansion of tenure through consolidation of the southern extension of the Jemalong licence with the enlarged landholding now referred to as the Cowal East projectConsolidated licence portfolio was last held by Gold Fields with no fieldwork undertaken for over a decadeCommencement of a "traditional" ground gravity surveyNew partnership with Atomionics Pte Ltd (Atomionics) for follow up deployment of next generation "quantum" ground gravity technology and AI interpretationMELBOURNE, Mar 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Gold-copper explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to announce a series of initiatives advancing its 100%-owned Cowal East project, located within the highly endowed and tightly held Cowal Igneous Complex (CIC) of the Macquarie Arc in Central West NSW.The CIC is a world-class geological terrane hosting an estimated endowment of more than 20Moz gold and 5Mt copper 1, including Evolution Mining's flagship Cowal gold mine, which generated approximately A$3 million a day in cash flow during the December 2025 quarter 2.The expanded Cowal East project now covers approximately 100km2, following the strategic pegging of a southern extension directly from the NSW Government. A comprehensive ground gravity survey has commenced to provide more consistent coverage across the project, including the full Jemalong license, with infill coverage over the main existing known prospect areas.President & CEO Sam Spring, commented: "The Cowal Igneous Complex hosts Evolution Mining's flagship Cowal mine and the large Marsden porphyry system. It is tightly owned and has historically attracted significant exploration investment from major mining companies. "Despite its highly prospective setting and presence of a confirmed intrusive-related gold system, Cowal East has seen relatively limited drilling. "Consistent with our focused strategy for sole funded exploration projects, we are pleased to have expanded our land position by 40%, commenced the first on-ground exploration activities at Cowal East in over a decade and formed an innovative partnership with Atomionics to deploy next-generation gravity technology. "Ground gravity surveys are a proven exploration tool in the Macquarie Arc, extensively used by Kincora and our earn-in partner AngloGold Ashanti, as well as other explorers in the district."We are excited to gain access to Atomionics' proprietary quantum gravity technology and AI-powered modelling platform, initially at Cowal East but with a pathway for other projects. This technology has the potential to significantly enhance subsurface imaging — faster, more cost effectively, and potentially with materially improved resolution — providing the scope for meaningful advantages in undercover exploration." Mikhail Zeldovich, Chief Commercial Officer of Atomionics, stated: "Kincora's large and prospective Cowal East project, with limited drilling confirming an already known Macquarie Arc intrusive system under shallow to moderate post mineral cover, provides an ideal testbed for comparative deployment of our proprietary quantum-based Gravio system survey and a high-quality traditional gravimetry. "We look forward working with the highly experienced Kincora technical team and systematically advancing the Cowal East project. "Our ambition is to partner with Kincora, and other explorers, to save time and drilling budgets in accelerating the targeting, discovery and drill out phases. "In addition to partnering with Kincora, our 2026 roadmap is scheduling several other deployments of our system with several of the world's largest metal miners, as well as explorers in multiple fields, including metals, hydrocarbons, geothermal and geologic hydrogens. Gravio, combined with our proprietary geologic AI system, ORE-O, is on its way to develop the world's first Large Planet Model to enable mapping of critical resources of the Earth's crust for the benefit of humanity's future."COWAL IGNEOUS COMPLEX The Cowal Igneous Complex (CIC) is a world-class geological terrain hosting an estimated greater than 20Moz gold and 5Mt copper metal endowment 1 within a 40 by 15km fault bounded block of the Junee-Narromine Belt of the Macquarie Arc.The CIC is prospective for both low sulfidation epithermal mineralisation, such as the various deposits within the Gold Corridor that make up the Cowal mine, and, calc-alkalic copper gold porphyry systems such as the Marsden deposit.The Cowal mine was acquired by Evolution Mining (Evolution, (ASX: EVN) and A$30 billion market capitalization 3) in 2015 from Barrick hosting a 3.4Moz gold resource with a current endowment of 14Moz. Cowal is Evolution's flagship mine which in the December 2025 quarter generated $3 million a day of cashflow at an average gold price of A$6206/oz (spot A$7285/oz) 2.The Marsden deposit is located ~16km to the southeast of the Endeavour 42 (E42) open pit on the eastern margin the CIC, ~50km southwest of the Northparkes group of porphyry deposits and ~20km northeast of the northern end of the Temora porphyry cluster held by LinQ Minerals. Kincora's technical director, John Holliday, was involved in the discovery ofMarsden, with Evolution estimating its potential endowment pre being dismembered as 5Mt copper and 8-10Moz gold.Tenure of the CIC is highly consolidated, primarily by Evolution with Kincora owning 100% of the Cowal East and Fairholme projects, and noting Newmont is earning into Koonenberry Gold's Fairholme project (immediately adjacent and north to Kincora's Fairholme project) – see Figure 1.COWAL EAST PROJECTThe ground included in the current Cowal East project has been the focus of many major explorers, including Geopeko, CRA Exploration, BHP, Newcrest, most recently Gold Fields (until 2015) and FMG (until 2025). Despite being widely recognized as a very prospective setting for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation and intrusion-associated gold mineralisation, and hosting a known intrusion related gold system, the Cowal East project has had relatively limited prior drilling.The project is located as close as 9km east of the Cowal mine, immediately the other side of Lake Cowal, and as close as 4km north of the Marsden deposit. The terrain is very flat to undulating in isolated parts and is used for extensive cropping and some grazing. The Newell Highway passes through the southern section of the project and access is readily available via numerous unsealed farm roads and tracks.GROUND GRAVITY SURVEYKincora has contracted Daishsat Geodetic Surveyors (Daishsat) to undertake a ground gravity survey to provide more consistent spaced coverage across the Cowal East project, including the full Jemalong license, with infill coverage over the main existing prospect areas, including Jemalong Channel which is host to a confirmed intrusive gold system under shallow to moderate post mineral cover – see Figure 2.This approach follows Kincora's ongoing exploration template in the northern undercover section of the Junee-Narromine Belt, being advanced in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, where "traditional" ground gravity surveys have been conducted across three licenses in the last 18 months.The survey is anticipated to support improved structural interpretation of the wider project, including definition of basement architecture, intrusive geometries, major structural corridors and potentially the refinement of subtle intrusive system targets for drill testing. Ground gravity is being used by multiple other porphyry explorers in the district.PARNTERSHIP WITH ATOMIONICSThe Company has entered a binding Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with Atomionics initially focused on the Cowal East project but with scope to be expanded to other Kincora projects.For the Cowal East project, Atomionics will analyze the results of the "traditional" Daishsat ground gravity survey. A second phase will see Atomionics, at largely its own cost, complete a subsequent survey utilising its proprietary new generation "quantum" sensors with results of the two surveys', coupled with the existing other geological and geophysical data for the project, integrated within its ORE-O AI-powered modeling platform.Kincora and Atomionic will then look to advance discussions for commercial testing of anticipated high priority drill targets.ABOUT ATOMIONICS PTE LTDAtomionics Pte Ltd (Atomionics) is a Singapore-based startup building quantum sensors for subsurface exploration and universal navigation.Atomionics sensors generate 3D models of the Earth's subsurface to pinpoint critical underground resources or infrastructure and enable GPS-free positioning. Atomionics does this by using cold atom interferometry — cooling atoms to near absolute zero with lasers to measure tiny gravitational changes.It is a hands-on, high-energy team operate at the intersection of quantum physics, electronic and mechanical hardware, and AI. Engineers work across mechanical, electronic, and software systems, with an ultimate goal to create the world's first Large Planet Model, mapping the world's critical buried resources.Atomionics' proprietary Gravio quantum gravity sensors are the world's most advanced portable gravimeter built on cold atom interferometry. Gravio currently acquires high-resolution data from ground-based platforms and is developing its airborne solutions. This seeks to enable faster (potentially 10x) and much higher resolution than traditional surveys of the Earth's subsurface.ORE-O is Atomionics' AI-powered modeling platform. ORE-O seeks to transform data gathered by gravity and other geophysics methods into 3D geological maps with deterministic results — refining not just where deposits might be but also how much resource is likely to be there with greater confidence. Atomionics estimates being able to potentially save up to 80% of exploration drilling costs for the metals exploration industry.Atomionics has undertaken a survey with Rio Tinto and is scheduling one with BHP within Tier-1 copper belts, while in 3Q'2025 Atomionics completed a Pre-Series A round financing to accelerate deployment in Australia and North America. The round was led by Paspalis VC (NT) and included BHP Ventures, IQT, Wavemaker, and Singapore's CapVista among others.To learn more, please visit: www.atomionics.comFor further information, please contact: Mikhail S Zeldovich, Chief Commercial Officer mikhail@atomionics.com +65 8064 2150 or +44 779858 1094 (Whatsapp)Figure 1: Kincora has a strategic portfolio in the world-class and tightly held Cowal Igneous Complex of the Macquarie ArcThe Company has seven major project groups located in Central West NSW, six porphyry and one Cobar style system all with clear exploration and/or corporate strategiesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/287846_kincora%20figure%201.jpg Figure 2: Kincora has increased the size of the portfolio, commencement a sole funded "traditional' ground gravity survey and formed an innovative new technology partnership for a follow up third party funded "quantum" ground gravity surveyRegional geology is masked by 20-120m deep post mineral cover with relatively limited and shallow historic drilling at the Cowal East project and has confirmed a mineralized gold intrusive system at Jemalong Channel following up previous broad gravity and magnetic anomalies/featuresTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/287846_kincora%20figure%202.jpgABOUT KINCORA Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused copper-gold explorer with a hybrid prospect generator strategy.

Impro Precision 2025 Profit Attributable to Shareholders Reaches Record High of HK$726.2 Million, Up 12.7% Year-on-Year, Forecast 2026 Sales Growth Rate to Accelerate to Mid-Double Digits ACN Newswire

Impro Precision 2025 Profit Attributable to Shareholders Reaches Record High of HK$726.2 Million, Up 12.7% Year-on-Year, Forecast 2026 Sales Growth Rate to Accelerate to Mid-Double Digits

HONG KONG, Mar 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Impro Precision Industries Limited ("Impro" or the "Group”) (Stock Code: 1286), a world-leading manufacturer of high-precision, high-complexity, and mission-critical components, today announced its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”).In 2025, the revenue of the Group amounted to HK$5,095.5 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.7%. Profit attributable to shareholders of the Company amounted to HK$726.2 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.7%, while adjusted profit attributable to Shareholders amounted to HK$689.9 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.1%. Both set new records. Taking into account the sound cash flow position and business prospects of the Group, the Board resolved to declare a second interim dividend of 8.0 HK cents per share for 2025. Together with the first interim dividend of 8.0 HK cents per share for 2025 already distributed, dividend per share for the Year amounted to 16.0 HK cents. The Group’s robust financial performance, coupled with its forward-looking global footprint and diversified end-markets advantages, successfully attracted capital from Hong Kong, overseas, and the Chinese Mainland to purchase the Group’s shares during the Year. In 2025, the Group’s share price increased significantly by approximately 1.5 times compared to the end of 2024.During the Year, the artificial intelligence boom, significant fluctuations in U.S. tariff policies and ongoing geopolitical conflicts continued to intertwine, profoundly affecting the global market landscape and trends. By virtue of its solid business foundation and its enduringly effective strategies of “Global Footprint”, “Region for Region Manufacturing” and “Dual Source Production”, the Group successfully mitigated market risks and achieved growth in its results. In 2025, the development momentum of artificial intelligence remained strong, driving continued growth in demand for related data centers. As a key component of distributed power generators, the demand for high horsepower engines rose significantly, leading to a substantial year-on-year increase of 43.3% in the Group’s sales in the high horsepower engine end-market. This market became the Group’s largest sub-sector end-market in terms of sales during the Year, accounting for 22.1% of total revenue. Meanwhile, the growth in demand for liquid cooling systems related to artificial intelligence data centers was also very strong, driving a substantial year-on-year increase of 38.4% in revenue from the diversified industrials others end-market. In addition, as new products commenced mass production, revenue from the medical end-market recorded a significant year-on-year increase of 55.2%.Furthermore, as the Group’s Mexico SLP campus is still in the ramp-up stage, with high employee turnover leading to rising scrap rates, it continued to record a relatively large net loss during the Year. Although overall operations still face numerous uncertainties, the strategic value and commercial potential of the Mexico SLP Campus within the Group’s “Global Footprint” will gradually become apparent, with its long-term development potential and contribution worth expecting. In terms of internal management, as more employee dormitories in Mexico are successively put into use, it is expected that the issue of employee turnover will be effectively alleviated. Moreover, to seize the opportunities from the rapid growth of the global investment casting market and to meet strong customer demand, the Group will moderately increase the capital expenditure of the aerospace plant in the Mexico SLP Campus. Subject to prudent assessment, the Group will continue to seek opportunities to expand production capacity and process categories, aiming to share in the dividends of market growth. The Group expects capital expenditure for 2026 to be approximately HK$850 million, of which more than three-quarters will be allocated to the Mexico SLP Campus, with the remainder to be primarily invested in our plants in China.In addition, most of the plants in China have maintained stable operations and continued to achieve stellar financial performance and significant profit growth. With the successful relocation of Foshan Ameriforge (Plant 12) to Nantong and the gradual stabilization of its operations, the plant has demonstrated a steady growth trend in its performance. Plant 8 for surface treatment in Nantong is expected to achieve a turnaround to profitability in 2026.Looking ahead to 2026, in view of the expected continued strong growth of artificial intelligence data centers related products, coupled with a large number of new orders at the Mexico SLP Campus and the recovery of demand in certain end-markets, the Group’s sales revenue growth rate is expected to accelerate over the next two to three years. Based on the Group’s outstanding orders on hand and the progress of future new project development, the Group forecasts that the year-on-year sales growth rate in 2026 will be approximately mid-double digits.The Group expects the diversified industrials sector to continue to demonstrate robust growth momentum. In the high horsepower engine sector, as products are upgraded from castings and rough machining to a higher proportion of deep processing and partial full-finishing, combined with the successive mass production for new projects involving both existing and new customers, and with the large-scale sand casting workshop in Phase II of the Mexico SLP Campus commencing mass production in the middle of this year to provide more capacity, it is expected that high horsepower engine-related components will embark on a new growth curve starting from 2026.The aerospace, energy and medical sector will become one of the Group’s primary growth engines in the future. In the aerospace end-market, the Mexican plants obtained the initial phase of AS9100 quality system certification in January 2026. As aerospace products involve various specialized processes, it is expected that the relevant certifications will be completed successively in the second half of 2026, and mass production will gradually commence. In the medical end-market, the Group will continue to develop surgical robots and related products, which are expected to demonstrate certain growth potential in the coming years.According to industry forecasts, the global investment casting market is set to grow from approximately US$17.5 billion in 2025 to more than US$23.8 billion in 2031, of which approximately US$4 billion will be coming from the aerospace, energy and medical sector. To capture this market opportunity and gain a share of the market growth, the Group is continuously evaluating a potential spin-off and separate listing of the aerospace, energy and medical sector, as well as various other feasible financing options to support the expansion of future production capacity and process categories and make forward-looking preparations for the long-term sustainable development of the aerospace end-sector.To actively explore and lay out the medium-to-long-term growth momentum, the Group has formally established the “Future Business Unit”, which focuses on identifying and evaluating emerging market opportunities that align with the Group’s strategic direction, with the aim of cultivating potential growth projects for the Group and continuing to explore new opportunities amid future industry trends. The “Future Business Unit” will serve as a key innovation engine, assisting the Group’s existing “Aerotek Business Unit”, “Fluidtek Business Unit” and “Mechatek Business Unit” in enhancing market share and global industry status amidst dynamic competition and laying the foundation for the next stage of advancement.Mr. Lu Ruibo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Impro, said, “Looking ahead, the Group will focus on the three core strategies of ‘Global Footprint’, ‘Diversified End-market’ and ‘Twin Growth Engine’, while simultaneously promoting the expansion of the diversified industrials, aerospace, energy, medical and automotive end-markets, and precisely seizing the strategic opportunities brought by the artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the Group will continue to optimize its global production capacity allocation, give full play to the advantages of its global footprint, and actively promote end-market diversification and regional production synergy. In addition, the Group will continue to seek merger and acquisition opportunities with synergistic effects, strengthen its research and development and technical capabilities, drive continuous improvement of the Group’s results by providing diversified, high-quality products and services, and strive to create stable and growing returns for shareholders.” Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

以下是特朗普对伊朗新最高领袖穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊的言论 Latest News

以下是特朗普对伊朗新最高领袖穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊的言论

(SeaPRwire) - 穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊是阿里·哈梅内伊的次子,阿里·哈梅内伊在美国和以色列的袭击中丧生,穆杰塔巴已被选为伊朗新的最高领袖,这一决定可能会引起美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的愤怒。 56岁的穆杰塔巴在其父亲长达数十年的任期内,在幕后积累了强大的影响力,他的任命似乎只会增强伊朗政权对抗美国的决心。许多高级官员誓言将继续战斗,这场不断扩大的战争现已进入第10天。 “我们承诺,为了捍卫伟大的伊朗民族的权利、推进国家利益和安全以及实现伊斯兰革命的崇高目标,我们将一刻也不退缩,” 外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格希在宣布任命后不久表示。 “我们将至死效忠于总司令,” 国防委员会的一份声明中写道。 这些强硬的效忠誓言与特朗普坚持要求伊朗 “无条件投降” 的立场形成鲜明对比,国防部长皮特·赫格塞思周日也呼应了这一观点,坚称伊朗 “别无选择”,只能让步。 此外,穆杰塔巴的上任违背了美国总统的另一项要求,即伊朗必须选择一个美国能接受的继任者。 “我经历这一切可不是为了最终迎来另一个哈梅内伊,” 特朗普周三告诉《时代》杂志,当时有报道称阿里的次子是最有可能接替他的人选。“他们可以进行选择,但我们必须确保选出一个对美国来说通情达理的人。” 在穆杰塔巴被任命后,据报道特朗普告诉福克斯新闻,他 “不高兴”。 这位美国总统此前曾表示,穆杰塔巴不是领导伊朗的合适人选,并暗示美国不会支持这种继任路线。以下是他所说的话的详细内容: 特朗普称穆杰塔巴是 “不可接受的” 选择 “哈梅内伊的儿子对我来说不可接受。我们希望有一个能给伊朗带来和谐与和平的人,” 特朗普周四告诉Axios。 他希望积极参与伊朗新领导人的选择过程,这与今年1月美国军队俘获委内瑞拉倒台领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗后发生的情况类似。 特朗普再次强调了他向《时代》杂志明确表达的立场,拒绝接受一个只会延续前最高领袖强硬政策的新领导人。 他指责伊朗在穆杰塔巴身上 “浪费” 时间,并将这位次子称为 “无足轻重的人”。 特朗普警告说,他不希望美国未来不得不重返伊朗 在另一次采访中,特朗普阐述了他希望参与伊朗新领导人选择过程的理由,称这是 “为了我们不必每隔五年就再来一次”。 “我们希望有一个对人民有益、对国家有益的人,” 他周四说,并补充说穆杰塔巴不太可能是合适人选。 虽然特朗普表示他不希望美国不得不重返伊朗,但他再次没有给出这场当前战争可能结束的时间表。 “我想说,事情的进展比预期提前,而且比任何人想象的都要强劲得多,” 他这样说,以此代替预期的结束日期。 特朗普说新的最高领袖 “不会长久” 美国总统周日警告说,如果新领导人未经他事先批准就被任命,“不会长久”。 “他必须得到我们的批准。如果他得不到我们的批准,他不会长久,” 他告诉美国广播公司新闻。 特朗普重申了早些时候的言论,补充说:“我们要确保我们不必每隔十年就再来一次,因为那时不会有像我这样的总统来处理此事。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

DOCOMO’s New Haptic-sharing System Enables Fans to Feel Closer to Idols JCN Newswire

DOCOMO’s New Haptic-sharing System Enables Fans to Feel Closer to Idols

TOKYO, Japan, Mar 5, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced today that it has developed a new system powered by FEEL TECH™ haptic technology that allows fans to experience physical sensations transmitted from artists, creating a stronger sense of closeness with their idols. To demonstrate the system's experiential value, DOCOMO collaborated with Cover Corporation to create trial content featuring the VTuber group “hololive English -Myth-.”FEEL TECH™ digitizes, transmits and reproduces human sensations, including touch (haptics) and emotional cues, through a hand-held haptic device. When synchronized with audio-visual content, the technology delivers immersive experiences. DOCOMO is now applying these capabilities to enhance Japan's rapidly growing “oshi-katsu” culture, in which fans actively support and engage with their favorite actors and other idols, including anime and game characters.Until now, fan experiences have been limited primarily to watching and listening. However, DOCOMO's new system adds haptic sensations to greatly expand the possibilities for artistic expression. Artists can now convey movement, energy and emotion through haptic feedback, communicating feelings that go beyond words and facial expressions.By enabling fans to experience physical sensations transmitted from favorite artists, DOCOMO's system creates a heightened sense of presence—so immersive it feels as if they are right beside the artist, realizing a deeper, more personal emotional connection.To validate the system, DOCOMO created trial content featuring the VTuber group hololive English -Myth-. Trial participants can select one of the three members to experience physical sensations synchronized to on-screen actions, including dynamic movements such as dancing and high-fives, as well as subtler sensations like heartbeats. Compared to conventional audio-visual viewing, the addition of haptic feedback significantly enhances immersion and realism, deepens the bond between fan and artist, and opens new avenues for creative expression. The effectiveness of this next-generation experience is now being evaluated through user participation.DOCOMO will showcase this experiential content at the International Innovations section of South by Southwest (SXSW) 2026 in Austin, Texas, USA from March 12 to 14.Through this initiative, DOCOMO aims to pioneer a new culture of communication, part of its mission to create meaningful value that enriches people's lives.FEEL TECH is a registered trademark of NTT DOCOMO.About NTT DOCOMONTT DOCOMO, Japan's leading mobile operator with over 91 million subscribers, is one of the global leaders in 3G, 4G and 5G mobile network technologies. Under the slogan “Bridging Worlds for Wonder & Happiness,” DOCOMO is actively collaborating with global partners to expand its business scope from mobile services to comprehensive solutions, aiming to deliver unsurpassed value and drive innovation in technology and communications, ultimately to support positive change and advancement in global society. https://www.docomo.ne.jp/english/ Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Core Concepts Physiotherapy Partners with Podiatry Quest to Deliver Enhanced Assessments for Patients with Plantar Fasciitis

SINGAPORE, Mar 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Core Concepts Physio, one of Singapore's leading physiotherapy providers, has announced an expanded collaborative programme with podiatry service provider, Podiatry Quest, to offer enhanced, multidisciplinary assessments for patients experiencing plantar fasciitis and stubborn heel pain.Plantar fasciitis remains one of the most common and persistent causes of heel pain among adults, especially those with active lifestyles or occupations involving long hours on their feet. Often treatment seeks to address only one aspect of the condition rather than the full movement chain, which leads to recurring pain as other aspects remain unresolved.To bridge this gap, the two clinics have formalised a joint assessment pathway that evaluates plantar fasciitis from both the top-down (physiotherapy) and the bottom-up (podiatry) so as to ensure that no contributing factor is overlooked.A Smarter, More Complete Way to Diagnose Heel PainPhysiotherapy and podiatry traditionally manage different elements of plantar fasciitis. Physiotherapists focus on mobility, strength, gait and load tolerance, while podiatrists address foot posture, footwear, ground forces and orthotic support.The new integrated pathway combines both perspectives into a single, coordinated evaluation which results in:More accurate, holistic diagnosesFully optimised treatment strategiesFewer flare-ups and recurrencesClearer, consistent guidance for patientsFaster and more sustainable outcomes"Many patients struggle because plantar fasciitis isn't caused by just one issue," said Mr Chng Chye Tuan, Senior Principal Physiotherapist at Core Concepts Physiotherapy. "It's a movement chain problem involving the foot, calf, ankle mobility, daily load and footwear. When physiotherapists and podiatrists work together, we address every contributing factor — not just the symptoms."A Case Study Demonstrating Collaborative SuccessIn a recent case, a 42-year-old recreational runner sought help after six months of persistent heel pain. Physiotherapy improved his morning pain and running tolerance, but he continued to experience flare-ups following long work shifts.A podiatry assessment revealed prolonged pronation, footwear-related loading issues and inadequate shock absorption. With customised orthoses and tailored footwear recommendations, the patient's daily load decreased significantly — allowing physiotherapy progress to continue without setbacks.Within 10 weeks of coordinated care, he achieved pain-free mornings, comfortable workdays and full return to running."This case reflects what we see frequently," said Mr Yeo Boon Kiak, Principal Podiatrist at Podiatry Quest. "Physiotherapy builds tissue capacity, strength and movement control. Podiatry reduces unnecessary strain and optimises how forces enter the foot.

特朗普的伊朗战争正在耗尽美国武器库存,引发从乌克兰到台湾地区的担忧 Latest News

特朗普的伊朗战争正在耗尽美国武器库存,引发从乌克兰到台湾地区的担忧

(SeaPRwire) - 从华盛顿特区到乌克兰再到台湾,人们越来越担心美国在伊朗的战争正在耗尽先进武器系统的库存,这些系统能保护美国在全球的基地、船只及其盟友免受导弹袭击。美国高级官员已承认存在这一问题,但淡化了局势的严重性。 自美国和以色列发动一系列军事打击,针对伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊并削弱了伊朗伊斯兰共和国的军事能力以来,伊朗进行了报复,发动弹道导弹袭击,目标包括以色列、美国在该地区的军事设施以及几个设有美国军事基地的中东国家。为了自卫,美军及其盟友部署了复杂且昂贵的系统,用于向来袭的超音速弹头发射导弹——这一技术壮举有时被比喻为“子弹打子弹”。 这些防御措施在阻挡大多数伊朗导弹和无人机袭击方面基本有效。但是,自周六以来,伊朗的反击已造成六名美国军人死亡。 但这些武器系统的消耗所产生的影响超出了中东这一直接战区。分析人士和议员们担心,防御性武器的突然减少使得美国在乌克兰对抗俄罗斯以及在太平洋对抗中国时,更难令人信服地展示其军事力量。 “我非常担心乌克兰的情况,”康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔对《时代》周刊表示。他是参议院军事委员会成员。“常识告诉我们,我们的资源和物资是有限的,我认为我们在某些时候将很难告知乌克兰后续的情况。”据几位在场的参议员透露,周二,特朗普政府高级官员与国会议员举行闭门简报会时,提到了美国武器库存的问题。 “我们明白,一场持久战……以及战斗的激烈程度将影响我们获得的防空设备数量,”乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基本周表示。“每个人都明白,合适的武器是我们的生命线,”泽连斯基补充道。 特朗普周一承认了人们对武器库存消耗的担忧,他在“真相社交”上发文称,弹药库存“从未如此充足和优质”。他表示,美国“这些武器的供应几乎是无限的。仅靠这些库存,战争就可以‘永远’打下去,而且会打得非常成功”。但他补充说,“在高端武器方面,我们有足够的库存,但还未达到我们期望的水平”。 当《时代》周刊要求进一步澄清时,新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特周三表示:“美利坚合众国不仅有足够的能力成功执行‘史诗怒火行动’,而且还能做得更多。我们在一些连世界上很多人都不知道的地方存有武器库存。” 在坚称美国弹药库存充足的同时,利维特将任何潜在问题归咎于前总统乔·拜登以及他对俄罗斯入侵乌克兰事件的处理方式。“不幸的是,过去四年里,白宫里有一位非常愚蠢和无能的领导人,他把我们许多最好的武器白白送给了一个遥远的国家,即乌克兰,”利维特说。 捍卫民主基金会(Foundation for Defense of Democracies)的美国国防工业基础专家瑞安·布罗布斯特指出,美国军方的末段高空区域防御系统(THAAD,即萨德系统)在最近击落伊朗弹道导弹方面发挥了至关重要的作用。他表示,萨德系统在抵御中国可能对美国在亚洲军事据点发动的攻击方面尤为重要。 “我主要担心的不是我们没有足够的弹药来应对与伊朗的这场冲突,而是冲突结束后能否威慑中国,”布罗布斯特说。 周三,国防部长皮特·赫格塞思在讨论战争初期使用的一些更“精良”的武器系统时,回应了人们对伊朗战争对美国武器装备影响的担忧,其中包括爱国者防空导弹。他在五角大楼与记者举行的简报会上表示:“我们这些武器以及爱国者导弹的库存仍然非常充足。我们和盟友的防空能力还有很大的发挥空间。” 美国海军退役少将马克·蒙哥马利表示,即将出现的弹药短缺问题是过去三届政府决策的累积结果。“我们每年的采购量很少,几乎可以忽略不计,还希望不会陷入困境,但最终还是未能幸免,”他说。 卡托研究所的国防专家凯瑟琳·汤普森曾在特朗普第二个任期初期担任五角大楼官员。她表示,美国为抵御俄罗斯的入侵而加大对乌克兰的武器运输力度时,动用了现有的库存,但没有足够增加工业生产方面的开支来填补空缺。汤普森称,当拜登和国会批准向乌克兰大规模运送武器时,这些法案突破了此前从美国库存中调拨武器给盟友时1亿美元的上限。“公平地说,特朗普政府继承了美国库存大量减少带来的这个问题,”她说。 汤普森表示,特朗普去年夏天签署的大规模国内政策一揽子计划中,约有1500亿美元用于军事和国防开支。但这笔资金并未计划用于增加萨德或爱国者导弹的海外供应。 布罗布斯特表示,解决这一问题的办法是购买更多弹药,并下达多年期订单,激励制造商投资扩大生产设施。“这种短缺的根本原因是,历届政府多年来未能采购到足够数量的拦截弹。这导致生产线放缓甚至关闭。” 五角大楼已采取措施提高产量,包括今年1月与洛克希德·马丁公司(Lockheed Martin)签署框架协议,计划在未来7年内将萨德拦截弹的年产量从96枚提高到400枚。美国最近还宣布计划与国防承包商L3 Harris合作,提高此类导弹关键推进系统的产量。这些措施需要时间才能见效。 预计特朗普本周晚些时候将与国防企业高管会面,武器库存问题将是讨论议题之一。 “当总统和国会故意取消对美国武器库存的限制时,就会出现这种情况,”汤普森说。“这种做法本就不该有,现在就是后果。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

玛乔丽·泰勒·格林警告:特朗普政府的伊朗战争可能让共和党在中期选举中失利 Latest News

玛乔丽·泰勒·格林警告:特朗普政府的伊朗战争可能让共和党在中期选举中失利

(SeaPRwire) - 前国会众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林警告共和党人,唐纳德·特朗普总统在伊朗的战争可能会让该党在中期选举中失利。 “现在特朗普及其政府违背了他们‘不再进行对外战争/不再进行政权更迭’的竞选承诺,而参众两院多数党的共和党人完全拒绝通过关键立法,选民的愤怒在昨天的得克萨斯州初选中显现出来,”她周三在X上的一条推文中表示。“昨天得克萨斯州初选中,投票的民主党人比共和党人多。如果11月的大选出现这种情况,得克萨斯州的参议院席位将变为蓝色。” “无论特朗普对‘让美国再次伟大’(MAGA)的新扭曲歪曲是什么,都将在中期选举中失利,”她继续说道。 格林于1月份离开国会,过去曾是总统的忠实盟友,直到11月两人发生了分歧。这位前佐治亚州众议员因特朗普政府对已故定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关文件的处理与特朗普发生冲突。上个月,她警告MAGA基础选民,他们对所谓“爱泼斯坦文件”发布的一些回应可能会损害共和党在11月选举中的利益。 “你们所有的MAGA影响者以及那些嘲笑被贩卖、强奸的少女和年轻女性的严重性的人看起来像邪教傻瓜,”她在一条推文中表示。“你们这些 insensitive 的小丑,好自为之吧,试图让女性在中期选举中投票给共和党。共和党已经存在女性投票问题。” 她在帖子中没有明确指出她指的是谁。 11月中期选举的结果可能会对华盛顿特区的权力平衡以及特朗普继续推行其议程的能力产生重大影响。目前,共和党控制着众议院和参议院,但民主党有望在国会参众两院获得席位。 有迹象表明,民主党人在中期选举前正在激发选民的热情。早期数据显示,周二,创历史新高的大量得克萨斯州民主党人涌向投票站参加该州的初选。这个南方州实行“无党派初选”制度,意味着任何选民都可以参加任何政党的初选。周二,参加民主党初选的选民比共和党初选的多,尽管仍有选票有待统计。 特朗普应对共和党人对伊朗战争的反对 格林不是唯一批评特朗普在伊朗军事行动的共和党人。 据 报道,前福克斯新闻主播、现播客主持人塔克·卡尔森最近几周多次与总统会面,试图说服他不要授权军事行动。另一位前福克斯新闻主持人梅根·凯利在她的节目中批评了这次袭击,称“没有人应该为外国而死”。 “我认为那四名军人不是为美国而死,”她说。“我认为他们是为伊朗或以色列而死。” 周一,官员表示,在战争中丧生的美国军人数量已上升至六人。 特朗普及其支持者对这种反对进行了回击。本周早些时候,在与记者雷切尔·巴德的一次采访中,特朗普表示“‘让美国再次伟大’(MAGA)就是特朗普——MAGA不是那两个人”,指的是卡尔森和凯利。 “首先,我必须做正确的事——你不能让伊朗获得核武器,”他说。 议员们对这个问题存在分歧,大多数国会共和党议员支持特朗普发动袭击的决定。 早期民调显示,许多美国人对美国在伊朗的军事行动持反对态度:根据一项民调,43%的人持反对态度。相比之下,只有27%的 poll 受访者表示支持这些袭击。 但民调也显示出在这个问题上的分歧。在一项民调中,超过80%的民主党受访者表示反对军事行动,而只有23%的共和党人持相同看法。由SSRS进行的CNN民调发现,77%的共和党人支持这些袭击,而民主党人不到20%。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

人权组织称,美以对伊朗的轰炸行动已致超1000名平民死亡 Latest News

人权组织称,美以对伊朗的轰炸行动已致超1000名平民死亡

(SeaPRwire) - 据美国某人权组织称,在针对伊朗的行动开始后的前五天里,已有超过1000名平民死亡,其中包括181名10岁以下儿童。 该人权组织表示,其汇总了截至目前的1097名平民死亡和5000多人受伤的报告。这场战争始于周六凌晨的大规模空袭,覆盖伊朗全境,导致伊朗最高领袖及其他伊朗军政领导人死亡。 该组织称,另有880例报告的死亡案例目前正在审核中,以进行核实和分类。 《时代》周刊无法独立核实伤亡数字,且有关学校袭击中儿童死亡人数的报告在108至181人之间不等。 这一消息传来之际,美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯宣布将加强对伊朗全境的空袭。他周三对记者表示,美军正在“全天候从空中实施死亡与破坏”。 “我们的作战人员拥有总统和我本人亲自授予的最高权限,”赫格塞斯说,“我们的交战规则大胆、精准,旨在释放美国的力量,而非束缚它。这场战斗从未被设计为公平之战,事实也并非公平之战。我们正在趁他们虚弱时痛击,这正是应有的方式。” 与此同时,以色列国防军周三上午在一份声明中表示,已开始“针对德黑兰伊朗恐怖政权目标的大规模打击”。 来自德黑兰的视频显示,周三首都多地发生剧烈爆炸。伊朗国家电视台称,因市内密集空袭,针对哈梅内伊的悼念仪式已推迟。 HRANA表示,3月2日至3日期间,“包括多个军事基地、两家医疗中心和一个居民区在内的一系列地点和基础设施”遭到空袭,其中包括萨波尔扎哈布的舒哈达医院和萨拉巴巴贾尼的一所野战医院被报告受损。 该人权组织补充称,这些袭击可能违反人道主义法,但强调这是“初步调查结果,仍需核实”。 当被问及对平民死亡人数的说法时,美国中央司令部(CENTCOM)指引《时代》周刊参考周二中央司令部司令布拉德·库珀上将的评论。 “我们才刚刚开始,”库珀在视频中表示。他还称,美军在行动开始后的100小时内已打击了近2000个目标。 在黎巴嫩,该国卫生部称以色列在黎的袭击已造成72人死亡,超过8.3万人流离失所。 自周六以来,伊朗的报复性打击已袭击了中东地区的美军基地及其他目标,以及海湾国家和以色列的平民区域。这些袭击已造成以色列至少11人死亡、阿联酋3人死亡。另有6名美军士兵在冲突中丧生。 一起校园悲剧 截至目前,战争中最严重的平民伤亡事件发生在周六的首轮空袭中——伊朗南部一所女子小学在学生上课期间遭轰炸。 此次袭击于周六上午(伊朗的学校周开始日)击中了伊朗南部霍尔木兹甘省米纳布市的Shajareh Tayyebeh小学。 伊朗教师工会网络“伊朗教师工会协调委员会”的加拿大籍代表希瓦·阿梅利拉德表示,根据她从米纳布消息源获得的信息,袭击已造成至少108名儿童死亡。 周二,数千人聚集在米纳布,参加在此次袭击中遇难儿童的集体葬礼。伊朗国家电视台画面显示,家长们手持在袭击中失去的孩子的照片,覆盖伊朗伊斯兰共和国国旗的棺木穿过人群。 联合国一个专家小组周三表示,对这一事件“深感不安”,并称据报告该事件导致超过[数字缺失]人死亡。该小组称,大多数遇难者似乎是7至12岁的女学生。 “委员会对袭击学校和医院等民用基础设施的报告感到震惊,这些袭击导致儿童受伤、受创,并夺走了许多年轻生命,”联合国儿童权利委员会在一份声明中表示。 联合国教育机构联合国教科文组织(UNESCO)称其为“严重违反国际人道主义法对学校的保护规定”。 当周三被问及对学校的袭击时,赫格塞斯表示:“我们正在调查此事。当然,我们从未以民用目标为打击对象。” 国际特赦组织(Amnesty International)周二对伊朗及整个地区的平民表示担忧。 “影响学校、医疗设施或居民楼的空袭,以及向人口密集区发射弹道导弹和其他具有广泛杀伤效果的爆炸物武器,引发了对可能违反国际人道主义法的严重关切,”国际特赦组织秘书长阿涅斯·卡拉马尔德表示。 “冲突各方必须立即停止非法袭击,无论是直接针对平民的袭击、不分皂白的过度袭击,还是在人口密集区使用具有广泛杀伤效果的爆炸物武器。他们必须采取一切可行预防措施,避免平民伤亡,”她补充道。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
