记忆碎片Mexican official confirms cartel gunmen forced a dozen tanker trucks to dump gasoline at gunpoint_我的网站
一 | A Mexican official on Monday confirmed a shocking video that emerged over the weekend of cartel gunmen forcing the drivers of about a dozen tanker trucks to dump their entire loads of gasoline into a field.The official, who was not authorized to be quoted by name, said the incident occurred last week in the border city of Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas, and was under investigation.The official said the gunmen had apparently forced the truck drivers to line their parked vehicles up on a dirt road to dump their cargo.Asked about the videos, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador acknowledged “there is resistance from criminals” in the area, long known for cartel violence, adding that “We continue to confront them.”In the video, a presumed member of the cartel can be heard mentioning the Gulf cartel faction known as The Scorpions, and saying all trucks carrying gasoline would suffer the same fate unless “they get in line,” or pay protection money to the gang.In the video, open valves on the bottom of the tankers could be seen spewing gasoline like fire hoses, as armed men looked on. “This is going to happen to all the grasshoppers,” a man's voice can be heard saying, an apparent reference to Mexican gang slang that compares those who “jump” through a cartel's territory to the hoppy insects.Criminals in the border state of Tamaulipas have long drilled into state-owned pipelines to steal fuel, but now an even more complex situation is taking place.Because of cross-border price differentials, it is sometimes profitable to import gasoline from Texas and sell it in Mexican border cities in Tamaulipas. López Obrador's administration has long complained that many of the truckers mislabel their cargo to avoid import tariffs.Others legally import U.S. gasoline, a practice the Mexican government dislikes because it reduces sales for the state-owned oil company.“We are there to protect the citizens of Tamaulipas, so they don't have to buy stolen or smuggled fuel,” López Obrador said Monday.But the Gulf drug cartel apparently demands money from both legal importers and those who seek to avoid paying import duties.One businessman who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals said the gang is demanding a payment of $500 per truck even to allow legally imported gasoline through the city of Matamoros, an important border crossing.The businessman added that Tamaulipas authorities often provide escorts for tanker trucks precisely to prevent such attacks.It was the latest instance of lawlessness in Matamoros, where in March four Americans were shot at and abducted by a drug gang. The Americans were found days later, two dead, one wounded and without physical injuries.____Follow AP’s coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at https://apnews.com/hub/latin-america。 本篇评级为★★★，主要围绕以下内容展开： 1、政策出现重要"微调"线索，市场节奏会提前吗？ 2、消费赛道有起色，透支了吗？ 3、如何看科技回调的深度？ 4、从美国旧金山断电看一个赛道 如有疑问请以音频内容为准，添加妙投小虎哥微信：miaotou515，入群有机会与董小姐进一步交流。 新闻解读评级说明：五星重磅，四星重要，三星级以下大家选择听。 1、政策出现重要"微调"线索，市场节奏会提前吗？ 一起来看一下这个周末发生了哪些重要消息，又给年底的市场提供了哪些线索。 先看政策。
二 | 其实12月初我们就给大家分析过，国内两场重要会议奠定了总体基调：12月属于短期动荡行情，会议结束后市场需要向下消化预期差，普遍能感受到压力，尤其是一些热门板块。上周科技赛道整体回调，排在全市场倒数前列；相反，政策顺风受益的板块里，消费表现最热——除商业航天“红得发紫”外，赛道涨幅前五名中有四个都与消费相关，这就是政策的威力：在政策引导下，市场出现短期轮动。 接下来的问题是：节奏会怎样？如果12月属于动荡行情，那么越接近1月，越可能出现转机，尤其是1月中下旬。
三 | 我们从政策上可以找到几条线索： 第一，上周四，中央财经委发布对中央经济工作会议的“十问十答”解读稿，其中提到：“我们最近也关注到这几个月消费和投资增速有所放缓，需要持续加力扩内需。”这句话意味着大方向确定后，局部节奏、力度可能根据市场情况微调。 第二，本周召开的国常会新闻通稿里出现“靠前发力抓落实，以扎实有效的工作巩固拓展经济稳中向好势头”的表述，最值得关注的正是“靠前发力抓落实”。 本文为妙投付费内容，上述仅为摘要，购买本专栏即可解锁完整内容。
