AT&T Rose 1.5%% on Monday

美国电话电报股价周一（9月9日）上涨1.5%

The jump came after Elliott Management disclosed that it had acquired a large stake in the telecom giant.

美国电话电报(AT&T, T)股价上涨是由于Elliott Management披露收购了这家电信巨头的大量股份。

Elliott is known as an aggressive activist hedge fund. And it has proposed changes. The fund outlined a four-part plan, calling on AT&T to sell assets that are not central to the company’s strategy.

Elliott Management是这一只激进对冲基金，该基金已经向美国电话电报提出了改革建议。Elliott Management制定了一个由四部分组成的计划，呼吁美国电话电报出售那些对公司发展策略来说不是很重要的资产。

In a letter to the board, the activist investor criticized AT&T’s deal-making, including the acquisitions of DirecTV and Time Warner. The company, Elliott said, has become “saddled with the financial repercussions of its choices” AT&T said it would “look forward to engaging with Elliott.”

Elliott Management在发给美国电话电报董事会的一封信中批评了后者进行的一些收购交易，其中包括收购Direct TV和时代华纳(Time Warner)的交易。Elliott Management称，美国电话电报这家公司已经“背负着这些收购交易带来的财务负担。”美国电话电报则表示，“期待与Elliott Management之间的合作。”

Crude Oil Futures Were up 2.4% on Monday

原油期货周一（9月9日）上涨2.4%

Prices rose after Saudi Arabia said that OPEC and its allies would stick with their production cuts. The comments came from Saudi Arabia’s new energy minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, who was appointed on Sunday.

沙特阿拉伯称欧佩克(OPEC)及其盟友将继续实施减产计划，这一消息推动原油期货上涨。沙特阿拉伯新上任的能源部长阿卜杜勒阿齐兹·本·萨勒曼亲王(Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman)宣布了这一消息，他于上周日（9月8日）被任命为能源部长。

His appointment helps consolidates control of the kingdom’s energy policy with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The move was seen as a sign of the kingdom’s commitment to stabilizing the oil market and its desire to push ahead with an initial public offering of Saudi Aramco, the largest oil company in the world.

他的任命有助于巩固王储穆罕默德·本·萨尔曼(Mohammed bin Salman)对沙特能源政策的控制。外界认为此举意味着沙特正在致力于稳定石油市场，并希望推动全球最大石油公司沙特阿美(Saudi Aramco)顺利进行IPO。

Nearly 1 Out of 4 iPhone Owners Would Spend $1,200

每4个iPhone用户中有近1个用户愿意花费1200美元升级到5G iPhone

—to upgrade to a 5G iPhone. That’s according to a survey by the investment bank Piper Jaffray.

这是投行Piper Jaffray的一项调查结果。

Those 5G fans will have to wait, however. Later today, Apple is set to unveil its latest iPhone models. But they are not expected to incorporate 5G technology, with its faster wireless speeds. The feature is likely to come in Apple’s product launch next year.

不过这些5G粉丝还得等一段时间。今天晚些时候苹果(Apple, AAPL)将发布最新的iPhone机型，但预计该公司不会把5G技术与更快的无线速度结合起来同时推出。具备5G功能的手机可能将在明年的产品发布会上发布。

Come 2020, if consumers are still willing to pay a premium for a 5G iPhone, that should be good for Apple’s stock.

到了2020年，如果消费者仍然愿意为5G iPhone支付更高的价格，那么这对苹果的股价应该是一个利好。
