航運情報公司Kpler數據顯示，8月份沙特和伊朗的石油出口量驟降，而阿聯酋和伊拉克則搶佔了部分受影響的海灣貿易份額。 8月迄今，伊朗原油出口降至約27.7萬桶/日，環比減少61.6萬桶/日，同比減少139.8萬桶/日；沙特降至約192.8萬桶/日，環比減少267.8萬桶/日，同比減少374.3萬桶/日。 與此同時，伊拉克和阿聯酋出口分別升至約215.1萬桶/日和357.9萬桶/日，環比分別增加69.9萬桶/日和63.1萬桶/日。阿聯酋8月迄今出口量同比出現增長，增加了41.1萬桶/日。 能源領域獨立投資研究與諮詢機構HFI Research指出，伊拉克的原油出口增加是因爲伊朗原油混入其中，並通過繁榮油輪運輸。這就是爲什麼在阿曼航道上這些繁榮號油輪並未受到攻擊。

Public fund data site reported 33 funds opened subscriptions Aug. 24–30, with an average subscription period of 20.79 days. Three FOFs opened subscriptions this week, taking year-to-date FOF issuance to 130; FOF units raised this year reached 129.359 billion units as of Aug. 25, a record. Rongzhi Investment FOF manager Li Chunyu said the 2026 surge in public FOF issuance is driven by three factors: low interest rates and falling deposit/bank wealth-management yields prompting deposit migration and greater demand for one-stop, diversified FOFs; banks using customized FOF plans to steer client flows as part of wealth-channel strategies; and public fund houses reallocating research resources to launch stable, bond-leaning hybrid FOFs. Policy support and population aging are also releasing pension FOF demand, further boosting issuance.
