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.

(SeaPRwire) - 唐纳德·特朗普总统表示,他希望保持霍尔木兹海峡开放,并称这样做是一种“荣誉”,旨在帮助依赖这一重要中东水道的其他国家。特朗普周一在佛罗里达州与记者交谈时被问及这一全球能源咽喉要道的情况。该水道因伊朗、以色列与美国之间的反复袭击而受到干扰。霍尔木兹海峡最窄处约21英里宽,位于伊朗与阿曼之间,每日运输约2000万桶石油及全球约五分之一的液化天然气,因此当该地区爆发冲突时,它成为首要目标。“我们实际上是在帮助中国和其他国家,因为它们的大量能源来自这条海峡,”特朗普说,“我们与中国关系良好。能这样做是我的荣誉。”特朗普计划本月晚些时候与中国领导人习近平会面。在谈及美国与委内瑞拉的新能源合作时,特朗普指出中国通过该海峡获取石油。“我的意思是,我们这样做是为了世界其他地区,包括中国这样的国家,”他说,“它们的大量石油通过这条海峡运输。”“我们与习近平主席和中国的关系非常好,”他补充道,“我很快将前往那里,我们正在保护世界免受这些疯子的破坏,而且我得说我们做得非常成功。”特朗普表示,为降低中东冲突期间的能源价格,美国还将豁免部分国家的所有石油相关制裁。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队通过伊朗国家电视台发声,誓言将“不允许出口一滴石油”。随后,特朗普在“真相社交”(Truth Social)的一篇激烈帖子中重申了他对该海峡的立场。“如果伊朗采取任何阻止霍尔木兹海峡石油流动的行动,美国对其的打击力度将是迄今为止的二十倍。此外,我们将摧毁易于破坏的目标,使伊朗作为一个国家几乎永远无法重建——死亡、火焰与愤怒将笼罩他们——但我希望并祈祷这种情况不会发生!”他写道。“这是美国赠予中国及所有大量使用霍尔木兹海峡国家的礼物。希望这一举动能得到高度赞赏。感谢关注此事!”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。

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES 在各国同行企业中率先成功开发出在100度左右表现出更优异的氢透过性能的更高性能钯氢透过膜 ACN Newswire

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES 在各国同行企业中率先成功开发出在100度左右表现出更优异的氢透过性能的更高性能钯氢透过膜

东京, 2026年3月10日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 专注于工业用贵金属展开业务的TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.(总公司:东京都中央区、执行总裁:田中 浩一朗)宣布,成功开发出了可在100℃左右的低温范围使用的钯(Pd)氢透过膜“HPM-L111”。本产品是在各国同行企业中率先实现※1可在100℃左右的低温范围表现出更优异的氢透过性能的金属膜。样品提供将于2026年3月5日之后正式启动。关于供应量,每月最多可提供约100张。关于本产品,将于2026年3月11日至13日,在千叶工业大学举办的公益社团法人日本金属学会“2026年春季(第178届)演讲大会”上进行学会发表。此外,还将于2026年3月17日至19日在东京国际展览中心举办的“H2 & FC EXPO 氢能及燃料电池展览会”上进行产品及面板展示。钯(Pd)氢透过膜“HPM-L111”钯氢透过膜是将具有氢吸储及透过特性的钯合金进行薄膜化而成的产品,用于更高纯度氢的分离和提纯。通常,想要使用金属膜实现氢透过,需在高温(300℃以上)下进行使用。此次,TANAKA通过在膜表面进行特殊处理,成功开发出即使在100℃以下的低温范围仍能发挥更优异的氢透过性能的金属膜。通过金属膜进行氢提纯所面临的课题与“HPM-L111”开发的背景以往产品“PdCu40”(钯含量率为60%、铜含量率为40%的合金)在PdCu系合金膜中具有较高水平的氢透过性能。但是,要发挥其原有的性能,需在400℃左右的高温范围使用,而增设加热设备等所带来的成本增加是长期面临的课题。此外,近年来随着氢相关技术的发展,在100℃以下的低温范围使用金属膜的氢透过需求日益增长。另一方面,由于金属膜通常在温度低于200℃时从表面向内部的氢侵入速度会降低,因此使用以往的金属膜,其氢透过性能将会显著降低,从而成为实用化的课题。为了解决这些课题,HPM-L111采用了TANAKA在多年的贵金属素材研发中所积累的具有创造性的表面处理技术。通过在薄膜表面形成微细凹凸结构来扩大比表面积,从而提升了氢的侵入速度,并在100℃以下的低温范围实现了氢透过性能的大幅提升。“HPM-L111”的特长在100℃左右的低温范围发挥更高的氢透过性能在各国同行企业中率先实现可在100℃左右的低温范围进行更高纯度氢提纯的金属膜有望为氢传感器实现更高精度化做出贡献可快速去除设备内部产生的氢以往产品“PdCu40”的剖面图“HPM-L111”的剖面图 产品名厚度宽度长度推荐温度设想用途HPM-H310(PdCu40)>10μm

伊朗库尔德武装称已准备好打击德黑兰,正等待时机 Latest News

伊朗库尔德武装称已准备好打击德黑兰,正等待时机

(SeaPRwire) - 独家报道:伊朗库尔德反对派组织表示,他们已准备好挑战德黑兰,但由于美国、以色列与伊朗伊斯兰共和国之间的战争仍在持续演变,他们目前选择按兵不动。伊朗库尔德斯坦民主党(KDPI)发言人哈立德·阿齐兹(Khalid Azizi)在接受本报独家采访时表示,库尔德武装正在密切关注事态发展,但现阶段并无发动地面攻势的计划。近期的报道称,唐纳德·特朗普总统曾与KDPI领导人穆斯塔法·希吉里(Mustafa Hijri)进行过交谈,华盛顿方面正在探讨库尔德人参与对伊朗施压的可能性。阿齐兹拒绝证实或否认此类谈话是否发生。阿齐兹本人对伊朗的军事报复有着切身体会。2018年,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队在伊拉克库尔德地区科伊桑贾克(Koy Sanjaq)举行领导层会议期间,向KDPI总部发射了弹道导弹,造成至少18人死亡,数十人受伤。“我们一直是伊斯兰共和国的目标,”阿齐兹说。“第一枚伊朗导弹就是射向我的总部的,我在那次袭击中受了伤。”尽管面临风险,阿齐兹表示,经过与伊朗数十年的对抗,库尔德抵抗力量依然强大。“伊朗库尔德抵抗运动实际上非常强大,因为自伊朗革命以来,我们就一直扎根于此,”他说。阿齐兹目前身处华盛顿特区,他表示库尔德代表正在那里与政策制定者和机构会面,讨论伊朗局势以及如果冲突升级库尔德组织可能发挥的作用。但就目前而言,库尔德组织表示他们正在观望这场更广泛的战争将如何发展。“我们已经准备好了,我们的政党组织严密,”阿齐兹说。“但目前我们没有任何进入伊朗库尔德斯坦的意图,因为地面部队在这场战争中还不是一个议题。”“发动战争很容易,”他补充道,“但如何结束这场战争会更复杂。”KDPI是反抗伊朗伊斯兰共和国历史最悠久的库尔德反对派运动之一。该组织是社会党国际(Socialist International)的成员,主要在伊拉克库尔德地区的基地开展活动,自1979年伊朗革命以来,一直处于与德黑兰的武装和政治对抗状态。阿齐兹表示,库尔德政治运动最近迈出了重要一步,组建了一个旨在协调其政治战略的联合联盟。“我们成功地在库尔德各政党之间建立了统一,”他说。“这受到了伊朗库尔德人民和伊朗不同政党的欢迎。”该联盟被称为“伊朗库尔德斯坦政治力量联盟”(Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan),汇集了几个历史上分裂的、反对伊斯兰共和国的库尔德派系。阿齐兹表示,伊朗的未来最终将取决于伊朗人自己是否会起来反抗政权。“如果你看看美国和以色列在这场战争中的目标,他们一直以伊朗的军事、安全和政治机构为目标。从这个角度来看,伊朗已经被削弱了,”他说。“但政权依然掌握权力,因为民众没有走上街头,目前也没有替代方案来取代这个政权。”阿齐兹敦促西方政府不仅要关注军事行动,还要帮助伊朗反对派运动进行政治协调。他说,伊朗是一个多民族国家,其未来的稳定将取决于建立一个包容所有社区的民主制度。“重建伊朗的道路和蓝图必须基于所有民族的参与,”阿齐兹说。“伊朗是一个多民族社会。”他说,目前库尔德武装仍处于观望状态。“我们有能力,也有实力,”阿齐兹说。“但现在对我们来说,做出任何关于进入伊朗库尔德斯坦的决定都不容易。”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。

伊朗新任最高领袖被指是“加强版”的其父,专家警告强硬统治将持续 Latest News

伊朗新任最高领袖被指是“加强版”的其父,专家警告强硬统治将持续

(SeaPRwire) - “把Mojtaba Khamenei想象成他父亲的强化版。”这是United Against Nuclear Iran倡导组织伊斯兰革命卫队研究主任Kasra Aarabi在评论伊朗新任最高领袖时对Digital所说的话。此前有报道称,Ayatollah Ali Khamenei的儿子已被选中领导伊朗伊斯兰共和国。“Mojtaba已经在Bayt-e Rahbari——即他父亲的办公室,也是该政权权力的核心——中以‘小最高领袖’的身份运作,”Aarabi说。“他父亲建立了庞大的Bayt机构作为一种隐藏的权力结构,以确保在他被清除的情况下政权能够延续——而通过任命Mojtaba,这正是我们将得到的结果,”Aarabi说。唐纳德·特朗普总统也对Mojtaba Khamenei的崛起做出了反应。在接受New York Post采访时,特朗普表示,他对这位年轻的Khamenei取代其父亲成为伊朗神权体制的领导人感到“不高兴”,但拒绝详细说明美国可能如何应对。“我不会告诉你,”当被问及他对这位新任最高领袖的计划时,特朗普说。“我不会告诉你。我不喜欢他。”一位了解领导层更迭的伊朗消息人士告诉Digital,鉴于Mojtaba任命的情况,此前关于他可能寻求改革的猜测现在看来不太可能。“此前有传言称,如果Mojtaba成为领导人,他可能会引入改革,既能开放国内政治空间,又能对外交政策采取更具互动性的方式,”该消息人士称。“然而,现在这种可能性看起来非常微弱。”据该消息人士称,Mojtaba是在“争议、纷争和来自IRGC的压力下”被选中的,这意味着他“将自己的任命归功于他们的支持,因此无法违背他们的意愿行事”。56岁的Mojtaba Khamenei几十年来一直在伊朗最高领袖周围的权力结构中建立影响力。他于1969年出生在马什哈德,在1979年伊斯兰革命使其父亲声名鹊起后,他在伊朗德黑兰攻读神职研究。然而,分析人士表示,随着时间的推移,他的影响力并非通过传统的教权权威发展而来,而是更多地通过伊朗的安全机构建立起来的。2019年,美国根据第13867号行政命令对Mojtaba实施了制裁。美国财政部表示,他“以官方身份代表最高领袖,尽管除了在他父亲办公室工作外,从未被选举或任命担任任何政府职务。”Foundation for Defense of Democracies伊朗项目高级主任Behnam Ben Taleblu表示,Mojtaba的背景反映了伊斯兰共和国内部更广泛的转变。“尽管戴着头巾,但Mojtaba是该政权国家安全深层国家的产物,”Ben Taleblu告诉Digital。“预计他将与IRGC合作并通过他们来保持对权力的控制。”Aarabi表示,Mojtaba多年来一直在幕后巩固影响力。“他的过去告诉我们,他喜欢微观管理权力的每一个方面,以满足他对权力的渴望,”Aarabi说。他描述了Mojtaba据称如何在抗议期间将IRGC指挥中心迁至其办公室、操纵选举结果并在国家机构中安插亲信。Aarabi补充说,自2019年以来,Mojtaba一直在实施他所描述的其父亲通过在整个政治系统中提拔意识形态忠诚者来“净化”政权的努力。“Mojtaba是一个极度反犹太、反美和反西方的意识形态家,”Aarabi说。“他个人参与了伊朗国内的镇压和国外的恐怖阴谋。”分析人士表示,Mojtaba的崛起可能会进一步加强伊朗安全机构的作用。“年轻Khamenei的崛起加速了多年来在伊朗政治和国家安全中看到的趋势,”Ben Taleblu说。“从一个Khamenei到另一个,如果这个政权存续下去,伊朗的情况预计会变得更糟。”“而且就像老Khamenei一样,腐败在家族中蔓延,”他补充道。Ben Taleblu警告说,该政权也可能为了生存策略而在外部加剧紧张局势。“该政权知道自己很虚弱,但认为可以通过付出代价和扩大危机来生存,”他说。对于伊朗国内的反对派团体来说,领导层的更迭标志着延续而非改革。“他是Khamenei的儿子,他们有相同的意识形态和相同的策略,他们试图继续执行相同的政策,”伊朗库尔德斯坦民主党发言人Khalid Azizi说。“到目前为止,很难说他会做什么,他会有不同的政策吗?我不这么认为。”与Digital交谈的伊朗消息人士表示,虽然从理论上讲,未来与美国和西方进行接触是可能的,但机会仍然渺茫。“正如我提到的,”该消息人士说,“这种可能性非常微弱。”“简而言之,”Aarabi说,“Mojtaba是他父亲的强化版。他当然不是MBS。”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。

赫格塞斯警告:对伊朗的“史诗之怒行动”预计将有“更多伤亡” Latest News

赫格塞斯警告:对伊朗的“史诗之怒行动”预计将有“更多伤亡”

(SeaPRwire) - 战争部长警告称,在伊朗正在进行的“史诗之怒行动”中预计会有更多伤亡,迄今为止已有七名美国士兵在战斗中丧生。赫格塞斯是在周日播出的 CBS“60分钟”节目采访中发表上述评论的。赫格塞斯说:“总统说得对。”“这样的事情不可能没有伤亡。”他继续说:“会有更多伤亡。”“没有人——我的意思是,尤其是我们这一代人知道看到美国人装在棺材里回家是什么感觉,但这丝毫不会削弱我们。它只会增强我们的决心和意志,让我们说这是一场我们必将完成的战斗。”3月1日,在科威特舒艾巴港发生的一次伊朗无人机袭击中,六名美国军人丧生,当时他们正在支持。美国军方表示,第七名军人于3月1日因伊朗对沙特阿拉伯部队的袭击受伤而死亡。上周,美国和以色列对伊朗。伊朗进行了报复,对以色列和包括卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯在内的邻近海湾阿拉伯国家发动了袭击。伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇周日表示,如果美国在伊朗部署地面部队,“我们有非常勇敢的士兵,他们正在等待任何进入我们领土的敌人,与他们作战,杀死他们并摧毁他们。”他说:“我们永不放弃,永不投降,我们将继续抵抗,无论需要多久。”“我们继续自卫,我们正在保卫我们的领土、我们的人民和我们的尊严。我们的尊严不容出卖。”周六,当记者在空军一号上问及唐纳德·特朗普总统在伊朗行动中使用的,总统表示“必须有一个非常好的理由”。特朗普告诉记者:“我想说,如果我们真的那样做了,[伊朗]将会被彻底摧毁,他们将无法在地面作战。”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。

“新增长机遇-新资产叙事”广发证券2026年春季资本论坛成功举办 ACN Newswire

“新增长机遇-新资产叙事”广发证券2026年春季资本论坛成功举办

深圳, 2026年3月9日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 3月5日至6日,由广发证券主办的以"新增长机遇•新资产叙事"为主题的2026年春季资本论坛在深圳成功举办。本次论坛精心策划了一场主论坛及七场分论坛,议题广泛覆盖AI、商业航天、能源周期、大类资产、地产、固收、量化等多个热点议题,为参会者奉上了一场专业的思想盛宴。论坛吸引了近700家上市公司与投资者进行深入互动交流,40余位产业界资深代表发表了精彩演讲,现场参会投资者超过4000人。广发证券总经理秦力出席本次论坛活动。 主论坛上,广发证券副总经理张威代表公司致辞。他指出,2026年作为"十五五"规划的开局之年,中国经济将在消费与投资双引擎的驱动下,通过新旧动能的深度融合及国内国际双循环相互促进,释放前所未有的新增长机遇。特别是以AI为代表的新技术与场景化应用加速落地,为优质中国资产的价值重估提供了战略窗口。张威还回顾了广发证券成立35年来稳居国内头部券商前列的发展历程,强调公司将继续聚焦专业能力建设、客需驱动发展及数智化转型方向,持续革新研究体系,刷新核心能力,稳步向具有全球竞争力的一流投资银行迈进,为金融强国建设贡献力量。中国社会科学院大学教授、中国工业经济学会名誉会长江小涓,中国人民大学区域国别研究院院长、国际关系学院副院长翟东升,中微公司资深副总裁、全球业务管理及刻蚀产品事业总部、EPI及D-RID PECVD产品部总经理丛海等重磅嘉宾,分别围绕各自的研究和行业领域发表了主题演讲。 江小涓围绕"当前经济形势和十五五规划的几个关键问题"进行分享,对当下面临的核心问题与挑战做了精准定位,并结合发展目标,从创新、改革和开放三个维度分析了未来的政策脉络。 翟东升围绕2026世界政治与地缘冲突,分享了当下全球政治格局新特征、美国的战略倾向,并展望了未来中美博弈的阶段特点、关键节点和核心竞争领域。 丛海则从中微公司的业务发展实际出发,阐述了微观制造产业的战略重要性,并分享了科创企业实现高速、稳定、健康和安全发展的"五个十大"宝贵经验。广发证券首席经济学家郭磊博士与策略首席分析师刘晨明也分别围绕"观往知来:四个维度看本轮新技术周期的影响""非美资产表现与后市观点"发表了主题演讲,他们凭借深厚的专业功底和敏锐的市场洞察力,为参会者提供了独到的经济分析与投资策略建议。郭磊博士认为,"2028全球智能危机"的观点是不正确的,技术冲击就业的观点几乎在每轮技术革命时都会出现。历史规律显示,技术进步整体是就业中性的;只是在导入期、展开期两个阶段,会呈现不同的宏观效应。中国经济在展开期阶段具备显著的内生优势,且政策重视技术场景化,未来会有广阔的发展空间。在技术进步不同阶段,资产选择有不同特征。2026年资产市场将呈现新旧资产分化收敛的形态,其中科技类资产中期潜力突出但短期赔率约束,消费类资产中期胜率高但短期赔率高,周期类资产短期胜率与赔率双高,建议均衡配置。刘晨明指出,伊朗局势恶化之前,全球非美市场持续创出历史新高,体现非美流动性非常充裕,当然更重要的还是大多经济体的经济领先指标都在持续回升。A股亦是如此,2026年大概率是时隔5年ROE再次回升。短期来看,伊朗问题难以准确研判,配置上核心是围绕一季报(成长和周期),进可攻退可守。中期维度,情况可能更加清晰,中期选举年,特朗普很难接受油价中枢持续上涨带来的美股戴维斯双杀。因此,全面来看,非美资产继续维持牛市环境的概率较大。论坛现场同步发布了"广发研究"品牌焕新升级宣传片,凸显了广发证券研究品牌的"专业化、国际化、数字化"核心特质,全面展示了广发证券在研究领域的深厚底蕴与创新活力。此次品牌升级不仅是视觉形象的升级,更是战略内核的升华,标志着广发证券将以更加深度、开放的姿态拥抱全球市场,以更加智能的服务赋能客户,持续为投资者创造价值。本次春季资本论坛由广发证券研究、投行、财富资管、期货等多个业务条线共同策划,成功搭建了上市公司与投资者之间高效沟通的桥梁,充分彰显了公司在优势产业赛道上的专业实力与市场影响力。站在公司成立35周年的新起点上,广发证券将继续积极把握产业变革和全球市场机遇,以自身的积极作为推动资本市场高质量发展,为科技创新与产业创新深度融合贡献力量。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

CMS(867.HK/8A8.SG): Self-Developed INHBE-Targeting siRNA Drug Received IND Approval for Overweight/Obesity ACN Newswire

CMS(867.HK/8A8.SG): Self-Developed INHBE-Targeting siRNA Drug Received IND Approval for Overweight/Obesity

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Mar 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that self-developed innovative drug INHBE-targeting small nucleic acid drug CMS-D008 injection (“CMS-D008”) received the Drug Clinical Trial Approval Notice issued by National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) on 4 March 2026. The NMPA has approved the conduct of clinical trials of CMS-D008 injection for overweight or obese individuals.About CMS-D008CMS-D008 is a novel siRNA therapy administered by subcutaneous injection. CMS-D008 targets and reduces the hepatic expression of the inhibin subunit beta E (INHBE) gene and lowers the level of Activin E protein encoded by INHBE, which blocks Activin E-ALK7 signaling and reduces fat accumulation effectively. Preclinical studies suggested that CMS-D008 efficiently and sustainably suppressed INHBE expression. In the diet-induced obesity model, CMS-D008 enhanced weight loss by reducing fat mass while retaining lean mass with a good safety profile. It demonstrates potentially better prospects for high-quality, long-term weight loss that boosts fat-specific loss while preserving muscle mass. In the future, it may be developed for the treatment of overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity, and related metabolic diseases.Fat Loss, muscle preserved: a potentially better therapeutic option for overweight/obesity Overweight or obesity is a chronic, progressive, relapsing disease characterized by excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution or function of body fat[1]. World Obesity Atlas 2025 Report projected that the global proportion of overweight and obese adults will rise to 50%, with nearly 3 billion adults impacted by high body mass index (BMI), and the population of adults who are overweight or obese in China is projected to reach 515 million by 2030[2]. Existing GLP-1RAs have been proven to be effective for the treatment of overweight and obesity. The main actions of GLP-1RAs are to suppress appetite by acting on the central nervous system and to delay gastric emptying[3]. INHBE’s novel mechanism of action differs from GLP-1RAs. INHBE is identified through genome-wide association studies. Populations with loss of function in INHBE are associated with favorable fat distribution and beneficial metabolic characteristics[4]. Targeted inhibition of INHBE might be more conducive for long-term weight management at the genetic level with precisely lower visceral fat and favorable metabolic profiles.CMS-D008 teams up with CMS-D005: highly effective weight loss plus long-term maintenance, building a more comprehensive weight-loss solutionCMS-D008 will synergize with CMS-D005, a self-developed innovative drug currently in clinical development. CMS-D008 reduces fat without sacrificing muscle mass by precisely inhibiting INHBE gene expression; while CMS-D005, as a GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist, can effectively reduce liver fat while losing weight. The synergy between these two drugs will achieve highly effective weight loss benefits and long-term maintenance of results, jointly enhancing the Group’s R&D capabilities and product competitiveness in the field of obesity/metabolic treatment. Furthermore, leveraging the Group’s mature network resources in the field of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, the drug’s R&D and commercialization process will be accelerated, providing patients with more comprehensive and innovative treatment options.The Group is actively preparing to initiate relevant clinical trials and strives to launch the Product as soon as possible.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

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.
