SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 16 April 2025 - Crayon, a global leader in IT services and innovation, today announced the latest release of its biennial Future of Operations study of SMB decision makers. The Future of Operations: Advancing AI-Driven Innovation and Cloud Agility for Small and Medium Sized Businesses, Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Crayon for the Asia Pacific region reveals a bold shift in how small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) across Asia Pacific are investing on IT solutions. The Future of Operations: Advancing AI-Driven Innovation and Cloud Agility for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses - a Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Crayon, March 2025 "Part of being a distributor that is truly on its partners' side is investing in helping them stay ahead of changes in customer buying behavior. AI has definitely changed the IT landscape and we wanted our partners to understand from fresh insight which solutions, services and capabilities are in hot demand" said Rhonda Robati, EVP APAC at Crayon. Based on a survey of over 670 SMB decision-makers across ANZ, Southeast Asia, and India, the study reveals that SMBs are no longer in early experimentation mode with AI and cloud. They are looking for specific outcomes and investing accordingly. Some key findings in the comprehensive study show 72% of SMBs prioritising tech-enabled experimentation, 70% wanting to unlock full value of their data and 87% raising budgets for third-party service expertise. This could mean a broader evolution in the partner–customer relationship. SMBs want help shaping strategy, integrating AI, optimizing infrastructure, and accelerating time to value. Partners who can bridge business and technology priorities are better positioned for long-term relevance. "This is a moment of alignment," added Robati. "Partners who listen, who lead with insight, and who help businesses grow, those are the ones that will win. And that's what Crayon's partnership model is here to support" To read the full report, please visit: https://apac.crayonchannel.com/enablement/insights/future-of-operations-2025/?utm_source=pressrelease&utm_medium=media&utm_campaign=future_of_ops Hashtag: #Crayonhttps://www.apac.crayonchannel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/crayonchannelapac/The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.CrayonCrayon is a customer-centric innovation and IT services company with over 4,000 team members across 46 countries.

香港 - Media OutReach Newswire - 2025年4月16日 - 美國資本市場本周經歷劇烈震盪行情。VT Markets在本周發佈的分析報告中指出，在特朗普政府宣佈並暫緩實施新一輪關稅政策及通脹數據超預期降溫的雙重影響下，標普500指數創下年內最大單周波動幅度，市場情緒在政策反復與數據波動中持續承壓。 政策突變引發市場巨震 4月12日美東時間早間，特朗普政府突襲式推出《關稅解放日》行政令，宣佈對中國產電動汽車徵收104%懲罰性關稅，並將所有進口商品基礎稅率提升10個百分點。該政策直接引發市場恐慌性拋售，標普500指數在兩個交易日內急挫13%，抹平近五周累計漲幅。但政策公佈13小時後，白宮宣佈將大部分關稅措施延遲90天執行，主要股指隨即展開強勢反彈，科技股權重較高的納斯達克指數迅速回漲。 通脹數據意外降溫 市場動盪之際，美國勞工部4月通脹數據帶來緩和信號。核心消費者物價指數（CPI）環比僅微升0.1%，顯著低於市場預期的0.3%；整體CPI更錄得0.1%的環比降幅。年率指標顯示，CPI從2.8%回落至2.4%，核心CPI由3.1%降至2.8%。數據公佈後，債券市場強力反彈，市場對 6 月降息預期也從 72% 飆升至 89.5%。 政策與市場聯動性凸顯 分析人士指出，此次政策急轉彎印證了所謂"特朗普看跌期權"的市場預期機制——即當股指大幅下挫時，政策制定者可能調整政策力度以穩定市場。美聯儲官員在CPI數據公佈後仍保持審慎態度，強調單月數據不足以確立通縮趨勢，特別是在新關稅措施尚未完全傳導至價格體系的情況下。 後市關注焦點 VT Markets研究團隊提醒，未來90天被市場視為關鍵政策觀察期。若中美能在視窗期內達成實質性貿易協定，可能緩解市場對通脹回升的擔憂。反之，政策反復或物價反彈都將考驗市場韌性。技術層面，標普500指數雖重上5000點關口，但反彈延續性依然脆弱，顯示資金仍持觀望態度。 本周全球財經日程前瞻 在經歷關稅政策反復與美國通脹數據劇烈波動後，全球投資者本周將聚焦多國央行政策動向及關鍵物價指標，VT Markets在報告中指出，本週市場進入高敏感度運行模式。 4月14日加拿大將公佈3月CPI年率：市場預期同比漲幅維持2.90%。分析師指出，若數據符合預期，加元或獲支撐，美元/加元匯率預計將維持上行整理格局。 4月15日英國3月CPI年率預計由2.80%降至2.70%，數據若不及預期可能加劇英鎊兌美元匯率的震盪回檔； 此外加拿大央行基準利率料維持2.75%不變，政策聲明若釋放中性信號，可能會加強美元兌加元的看漲傾向。 4月16日美聯儲主席鮑威爾發表政策講話。市場將關注鮑威爾對上周CPI意外回落的解讀，或影響6月降息概率重估；紐西蘭一季度CPI季率預期則環比上漲0.70%，若數據達到預期，或觸發紐元兌主要貨幣短線沖高。 同日還將公佈歐洲央行利率決議，主要再融資利率預計下調10個基點至2.40%，若配合鴿派政策指引，歐元承壓風險上升。 4月17日沒有關鍵數據發佈，市場或進入技術性盤整階段，消化周內政策信號與數據衝擊。 VT Markets全球策略團隊在本周市場分析報告中指出，當前資本市場正面臨"政策波動性溢價"重構階段。隨著美國關稅政策90天緩衝期的開啟，疊加全球央行貨幣政策調整視窗臨近，市場波動率中樞或將持續高於歷史同期水準。投資者需重點關注17日歐洲央行利率決議對歐元區資本流動的實際影響，以及鮑威爾講話對美聯儲6月政策路徑的修正信號。 Hashtag: #VTMarkets #差價合約 #CFDs經紀商 #美股 #CPI #通脹https://www.linkedin.com/company/89310903/admin/feed/posts/https://www.facebook.com/VTMarketsCNhttps://www.instagram.com/vtmarkets/發佈者對本公告的內容承擔全部責任

HAIKOU, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 April 2025 - The fifth China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE), held on the tropical island province of Hainan, has reaffirmed the country's position as a vital marketplace for global enterprises. The high-tech exhibits and beachside fashion shows at the 5th CICPE. This year's expo has drawn record participation from over 4,100 brands across 71 countries and regions, reflecting the expanding international appetite for engagement with China's vast consumer market and its evolving landscape. The UK, this year's guest country of honor, brought 27 companies spanning fashion, beauty, and other fields. Flagship brands like Burberry and Bentley showcased their latest offerings, with a strong emphasis on green technology and sustainable development. "I have seen the tremendous innovation and growth taking place within China's economy in recent years, not least in digital technologies, life sciences and green energy," said Douglas Alexander, minister of state of the UK's Department for Business and Trade. These areas present significant opportunities for both economies, he said, emphasizing the UK's commitment to deepening economic ties with China. Burberry Greater China President Josie Zhang noted the value of the expo in facilitating foreign firms to engage with local partners. "By deepening cooperation with various stakeholders, we aim to explore new market opportunities and achieve mutual growth," she said in a written interview. Slovakia also made a notable debut with its first-ever national pavilion. Andrea Jancekova, CEO of Slovak brand Truscada, praised the expo's global reach. "You can have a good connection also with people from all over the world." Slovak Deputy Prime Minister Denisa Saková highlighted the expanding trade ties between the two countries. "China is one of our most important trading partners outside the European Union," she said. "The growing volume of trade is a testament to the strength and dynamism of our economic relationship." Among the newcomers was Japan's Eda Livestock Co., Ltd., known for its premium Wagyu beef. "We plan to establish a foreign trade company in Hainan as our strategic entry point into the Chinese market," said Rei Tanaka, the firm's chief operating officer, who participated in the CICPE for the first time. This year's expo also gathered an array of top-tier global luxury brands. Richemont's TimeVallée debuted as an independent exhibitor, while LVMH and Kering Group brands made notable appearances, reflecting confidence in China's premium consumption growth. "Luxury consumers in China are significantly younger than those in many overseas markets, and that presents a major opportunity for us," said Nancy Liu, president of luxury travel retailer DFS China. The company has introduced tailored services to cater to the expectations of these emerging consumer groups. Beyond luxury, sectors like automotive and technology are repositioning China from being a mere sales destination to a research and innovation hub. As the co-organizer of the 5th China International Consumer Products Expo, the Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development stated that, amid China's technological innovation momentum, this year's expo for the first time introduced dedicated zones for artificial intelligence and the low-altitude economy, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and products from leading tech companies around the world. "Since 2020, Volkswagen has invested over 10 billion euros in China. In particular, we have established a research and development center in China in 2023, the largest outside Germany," said Su Bahong, vice president of Volkswagen Group China. "This shows the trend where China is becoming the global technological innovation hub." Hashtag: #CICPEThe issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
Saguenay, Quebec - Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2025 - First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQB: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) ("First Phosphate" or the "Company") highlights its strategic role in driving the onshoring of American manufacturing by supplying the domestic Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery materials essential to factory automation and robotics. The resurgence of American manufacturing hinges on robotics, factory automation, and grid-scale energy storage—technologies powered by LFP batteries. These phosphate-based batteries are favored for their safety, longevity, scalability, and are rapidly becoming the global standard in industrial automation. This technological transition, fueled by national trade and security policies, is expected by many to ignite a new industrial revolution in the United States. The demand for industrial automation is expected to reach USD $307.7 billion in 2030. About 60% of all occupations could automate at least 30% of their tasks and boost global productivity by 1.5% annually creating 6 million jobs (Convergix). Yet, a critical vulnerability threatens this momentum: the LFP battery supply chain is heavily concentrated in China. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, including recently proposed U.S. tariffs of up to 125% on imports from China and potential Chinese export restrictions on LFP technology and rare earth materials, place America's manufacturing future at risk. First Phosphate provides a direct and domestic solution. The Company has been actively building a North American LFP ecosystem, vertically integrated from mine to battery-grade material, to ensure supply chain security, transparency, and sovereignty. "America stands at the cusp of a manufacturing revival driven by AI, robotics, and energy storage," said John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate. "However, this future hinges on one critical factor: reliable, domestically sourced LFP battery material. First Phosphate reiterates its strategic role in supporting the future of American manufacturing and energy security." First Phosphate Strategic Advantages High-Purity Phosphate Resource The Company holds over 1,000 sq. km of rare, high-purity igneous phosphate claims in Quebec, capable of supporting over 350 GWh of LFP battery production annually. Its phosphate ore is amongst the purest in the world and is naturally low in deleterious elements and can be mined without solvents. Advanced Processing First Phosphate's high-purity phosphate ore can be fully and sustainably refined into battery-grade material without generating gypsum slag piles, a common byproduct when processing lower grade and lower yielding phosphate ores. Full Vertical Integration The Company is uniquely positioned to manage the full value chain-from mining to phosphate processing to LFP cathode active material (CAM) production-ensuring supply traceability, quality control, and supply security. Strategic Location & Infrastructure Located in the industrial hub of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, operations benefit from a skilled workforce, regional airport, deep-sea port to global markets, and rail access to North American markets. Strong Partnerships First Phosphate is co-developing its supply chain with major partners in the phosphate, iron and LFP battery supply chain, and has established collaborative agreements with local industrial and Indigenous communities. Advanced Development Milestones Achievements include a NI 43-101 Technical Report, Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), and pilot plants for mineralogy/metallurgy, phosphoric acid, gypsum valorization, and iron powder. Phosphoric acid plant prefeasibility study completed as well as iron phosphate plant feasibility study. Upstream and downstream offtake agreements in place.

About First Phosphate Corp. First Phosphate (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQB: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) is a mineral development company dedicated to producing high-purity phosphate for the LFP battery industry. The Company is committed to sustainable extraction and purification with a low anticipated carbon footprint. Its vertically integrated model connects phosphate mining directly into the supply chains of North American battery producers. First Phosphate's flagship project, the Bégin-Lamarche Property in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, contains rare igneous anorthosite rock that yields high-purity phosphate with minimal impurities.
