-- ソシエテ・ジェネラルは火曜早朝の経済ニュース概要で、以下の点を指摘した。 ――ブレント原油は1バレル100ドルを下回り、米ドルは売られ、米国10年債利回りは4.30%を下回った。情報筋によると、トランプ大統領の側近らは、来週の停戦期限前にイラン当局者との2回目の対面会談の可能性について、内部で詳細を協議している。 ベセント財務長官は、連邦準備制度理事会(FRB)がイラン紛争の行方を見守っているのは正しい判断だと述べた。ベセント長官は、1月と2月の経済指標は非常に好調で、インフレの急上昇は一時的なものだと予想している(セマフォー)。 中国の貿易黒字は、2月の910億ドルから3月には511億ドルに急減した。輸出は前年同月比2.5%増と大幅に減速し、1月と2月の平均21.8%増から大幅に低下した。これは中東紛争よりも、年末年始の休暇による影響が大きいと考えられる。第1四半期の輸出は前年同期比14.7%増(2025年は5.5%増)。 本日の予定:連邦準備制度理事会(FRB)のグールズビー総裁、バー総裁、ポールソン総裁が講演。米国の生産者物価指数(PPI)、週間ADP雇用統計。欧州中央銀行(ECB)のラガルド総裁、マクルーフ総裁が講演。イングランド銀行のマン総裁、ベイリー総裁、グリーン総裁が講演。国際通貨基金(IMF)が世界経済見通し(WEO)の最新版を発表。 日経平均株価は2.3%高、ユーロ10年物金利は3.5ベーシスポイント引き下げの3.08%、ブレント原油は1%安の98.4ドル/バレル、金価格は0.7%高の4,766ドル/オンス。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.

Petro Rabigh emerged from a loss in the first quarter, while Thob Al Aseel logged a higher net profit and revenue."The reason for net profit reported during the current quarter compared to a net loss recorded in the same quarter of last year was primarily attributable to improved product margins resulting from stronger refined product pricing and higher sales volumes," Petro Rabigh said in its report.Petro Rabigh rose 10% at closing, while Thob Al Aseel ticked down 1.59%.Meanwhile, the local calendar will be mostly empty except for the kingdom's preliminary figures for its GDP growth rate for the first quarter and the M3 money supply and private bank lending data for March on Thursday.
Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.
