ペルシャ湾岸地域の見通しが欧州株式市場の正午の取引を左右する

-- 水曜日の正午、欧州株式市場は横ばいで推移した。ドナルド・トランプ米大統領が火曜日にペルシャ湾での停戦を一方的に延長したが、ホルムズ海峡はタンカーの航行が引き続き禁止されたままだった。 欧州市場では、不動産、石油、ハイテク株が上昇を牽引した一方、銀行株は出遅れた。 北海ブレント原油先物(期近)は1%高の1バレル99.49ドルとなった。 投資家は、アジア市場の前夜の不安定な取引終値を受け、ウォール街の先物も上昇していることに注目した。 経済ニュースでは、欧州委員会が水曜日、ホルムズ海峡閉鎖によって引き起こされた化石燃料不足に対処するための一連の措置である「アクセラレートEU」を提案した。しかし、欧州委員会は、真の安全保障は国内生産のクリーンエネルギーへの転換によってもたらされると述べた。 欧州主要株価指数であるストックス欧州600指数は、取引時間中盤は安定していた。 ストックス欧州600テクノロジー指数は1%上昇、ストックス600銀行指数は0.9%下落した。 ストックス欧州600石油・ガス指数は1.5%上昇、ストックス600欧州食品・飲料指数は0.1%上昇した。 欧州REIT指数であるREITEは0.8%上昇した。 各国の主要株価指数では、ドイツのDAX指数は0.2%下落、ロンドンのFTSE100指数は横ばいだった。パリのCAC40指数は0.4%下落、スペインのIBEX35指数も0.4%下落した。 ドイツ10年国債の利回りは3%近辺で横ばいだった。 ユーロ・ストックス50指数の変動性指数は4.4%低下し23.10となったが、それでも今後30日間の欧州株式市場の変動性は平均を上回る水準にあることを示しており、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示唆し、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.
