```htmlJinse Finance reported that on June 4, regarding the recent inflation trend, US Treasury Secretary Bessent has consistently expressed the same view in Congress and public occasions: the current price increases are mainly due to short-term shocks rather than structural problems. At a Senate Finance Committee hearing, he stated clearly: "Apart from inflation—which I believe will be a short-term disruptive factor—all other economic data is very robust." This statement continues his previous repeated characterizations regarding the nature of rising prices.April data show that, driven by increased energy costs caused by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 3.8% year-on-year, the largest increase since 2023. Bessent attributed this change to supply shocks from the Iran conflict and repeatedly stressed its one-off characteristic.In May, he explained: "I firmly believe that nothing is more temporary than a supply shock." During a White House Cabinet meeting, he expressed the same view, believing that as the conflict ends, energy prices will fall, and stated directly: "When all this is over, oil prices will be lower than pre-conflict levels," also pointing out that natural gas prices have already started to drop.Similar opinions are reflected in his interpretation of financial markets. Bessent previously mentioned that the rise in global bond yields reflects "what I consider to be fleeting short-term inflation volatility." At another Cabinet meeting, he similarly emphasized: "I believe that price increases are temporary."```

October 8 – ** Shares of medical device manufacturer Haemonetics (HAE.N) surged nearly 16% to $117.81 ** The stock hit an intraday high of $120.61, marking its highest level since early 2021 ** The company stated that CSL Plasma, a subsidiary of Australia’s CSL Group (CSL.AX), expects to transition all its U.S. plasma collection centers to using HAE’s NexSys devices and kits by the end of 2027 ** CSL has also terminated its agreement with HAE rival Terumo (Terumo 4543.T) – according to BTIG ** This transition will help HAE win back business lost since 2021, when its largest plasma client CSL announced it would not renew its U.S. supply contract ** BTIG estimates that, based on approximately $155 million in revenue HAE generated from CSL’s U.S. business in fiscal year 2024, this account could add about $0.60 per share to adjusted earnings annually, though it notes that actual revenue and profit margins remain unclear ** The brokerage maintained its “Buy” rating and raised its price target from $110 to $130, stating that the deal alleviates market share loss concerns and boosts sales growth prospects ** Including today’s gains, the stock is up 49.46% so far this year (For the convenience of non-English speakers, Reuters provides its reports in several other languages through automated translation.
