ペルシャ湾の見通しが欧州株式市場の正午の動きを鈍らせる

-- 月曜日の正午、欧州株式市場は下落した。イランが米国との和平協議に参加しないとの報道や、イランと米国がホルムズ海峡の航行を事実上停止したとの発表を受け、トレーダーらはこれらの情報を注視した。 欧州主要株価指数であるストックス欧州600指数は、取引時間中盤で1.1%下落した。 北海ブレント原油先物(期近)は5.4%上昇し、1バレル95.29ドルとなった。 欧州市場では石油株が上昇を牽引した一方、銀行株とハイテク株は出遅れた。 投資家は、アジア市場の終値が上昇する中で、ウォール街の先物も下落している状況に注目した。 経済ニュースでは、ドイツの生産者物価指数(PPI)は3月に前年同月比0.2%低下したが、前月比では2.5%上昇した。これはエネルギー価格の上昇によるものだと、ドイツ統計局(Destatis)が発表した。 ストックス欧州600テクノロジー指数は1.5%下落、ストックス欧州600銀行指数は1.9%下落した。 ストックス欧州600石油・ガス指数は1.6%上昇したが、ストックス欧州600食品・飲料指数は1.3%下落した。 欧州REIT指数であるREITEは1.4%下落した。 各国の主要株価指数では、ドイツのDAX指数は1.4%下落、ロンドンのFTSE100指数は0.7%下落した。パリのCAC40指数は1.2%下落、スペインのIBEX35指数は1.3%下落した。 ドイツ10年国債の利回りは3%近辺まで上昇した。 ユーロ・ストックス50指数の変動性指数は15%上昇し22.43となり、今後30日間の欧州株式市場の変動性が平均を上回ることを示唆しており、これはネガティブな兆候である。20を上回る数値は市場の不安定化を、20を下回る数値は市場の落ち着きを示唆する。

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.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. The strikes, which targeted Hezbollah, resulted in four casualties and facility damage in Southern Lebanon.Back at home, Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (SASE:2380), d/b/a Petro Rabigh, and Thob Al Aseel (SASE:4012) posted their financial results for the three months ended March 31. 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.
