受到中東局勢與俄烏衝突影響,好市多(Costco)近期更對旗下 Kirkland Signature 自有品牌機油祭出限購措施。

全球原油供應持續受到中東局勢與俄烏衝突影響,除了汽柴油價格走高,連汽車引擎使用的機油也面臨供應與價格雙重壓力。美國零售通路好市多(Costco)近期更對旗下 Kirkland Signature 自有品牌機油祭出限購措施,每位顧客每週最多購買 2 桶 5 夸脫(約 4.73 公升)機油,反映全球石油產業供應緊張情勢持續擴大。

據外媒《The Auto Wire》報導,Kirkland Signature 全合成機油價格近幾個月快速上漲,目前 10 夸脫(約 9.46 公升)售價約 58 美元(約 1840 元台幣),相較今年 4 月約 30 美元(950 元台幣),短短數月價格接近翻倍。

請繼續往下閱讀...

Costco 進一步限制購買數量,不過一般車主單次保養所需機油有限,10 夸脫通常已足夠使用約 1 年,因此對一般消費者實際影響相對有限。

機油價格上漲除了原油供應吃緊,也與產品品質標準不斷提高有關。美國石油協會(API)認證要求日益嚴格,加上通用汽車 Dexos 認證涉及授權與相關費用,使機油生產及認證成本同步增加,部分成本最終反映在零售價格上。

對石油業者而言,將原油精煉成汽油、柴油往往比製造潤滑油更具經濟效益,使機油供應進一步受到擠壓,形成「供應減少、成本提高、價格上漲」的循環。若全球原油供應情勢未改善,未來車主除了面對更高的加油成本,定期保養所需的機油價格也可能持續上升。

Within three days of Hante’s public subscription, frozen funds exceeded 860 billion yuan, setting a new record in history

The Hanchai public subscription ended, attracting a total of 384,717 subscription orders in three days, and freezing market funds of 865.6 billion yuan, setting a new record in history. Only 1,048 tickets were released for subscription, and the winning rate was only 0.27%. If you win one, you will earn about 2.7 million yuan. Hante is expected to be listed on the OTC market in late September. In the first half of the year, its revenue will increase by 114.5% year-on-year, and its net profit will increase by 389.36% year-on-year.

U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rises to 5.01%, approaching key psychological level

The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.01% on Monday, the highest since October 2023, driven by inflation concerns caused by soaring oil prices and expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates higher for longer. Large-scale bond issuance and the expansion of fiscal deficits in the market have further intensified upward pressure on yields. Analysts warn that this level may make bonds more attractive relative to stocks, threatening the bull market in the stock market.

Prices of computing power metals have soared: Aluminum, copper, tin, tantalum, indium, etc. have experienced significant increases in half a year

In the first half of this year, driven by the accelerated construction of global artificial intelligence computing power infrastructure, demand for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, tin, tantalum, and indium was released, and prices rose sharply. Among them, tin, tantalum, and indium increased by more than 40%, 158%, and 60% respectively. The industry calls it "computing power metals", which are divided into bulk metals (such as copper and aluminum) that support computing power infrastructure and small but critical rare metals (such as tin, tantalum, indium). Upstream mining companies have benefited significantly, while midstream and downstream companies are under pressure due to rising raw material costs. The industry calls for improving product quality, strengthening the connection between supply and demand, and diversifying resource layout to cope with fluctuations.

Costco raises prices for Kirkland Signature motor oil and restricts purchases, tensions in the Middle East push up oil prices

Costco has raised the price of Kirkland Signature fully synthetic motor oil in 5-quart, 2-pack bottles from about $30 to about $58, and has limited purchases to 2 boxes per week. It also limits the purchase of Mobil 1 fully synthetic motor oil in 1-quart, 6-pack bottles, with a maximum of 5 sets per member. Tensions in the Middle East have led to rising oil prices. Oil companies tend to refine crude oil into diesel or gasoline to obtain higher profits, putting pressure on engine oil supply. Walmart, Amazon and AutoZone have yet to respond whether they will follow up on the changes.

The incident of Xingyu Corp. terminating the contracts of fresh graduates continues to ferment, and many multinational car companies are involved in the investigation.

Just one month after Changzhou Xingyu Automotive Lighting Co., Ltd. recruited 440 fresh graduates, it required employees to choose between voluntarily resigning and receiving half-month compensation or being transferred to the production line and earning three months' salary as an intern. As a result, 107 people were terminated from their labor contracts. The graduates sent the evidence to overseas downstream customers such as Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, triggering special investigations by multinational car companies and the postponement of listing review by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Shanghai Stock Exchange also issued a regulatory work letter. The incident triggered a discussion among netizens about the behavior of "complaining against foreigners" and highlighted the special vulnerability of Chinese graduates in the job market and the lack of a labor rights protection mechanism.
