-- 根據韓國央行週三公佈的初步數據,韓國3月進口價格較上季上漲16.1%。 彭博當天另行報導稱,此次漲幅是近30年來最大的月漲幅,主因是伊朗戰爭帶來的成本壓力。 以年計算,進口額成長18.4%,其中原料出口較去年同期增加40%,是推動進口成長的主要因素。 根據韓國央行數據,出口價格較上月上漲16.3%。彭博社指出,這一增長顯示貿易流向普遍面臨通膨壓力。 彭博社也指出,這兩項指標的上漲也反映出原油價格上漲以及韓元貶值。 韓國央行在新聞稿中表示,出口年增28.7%,其中製造業產品出口較去年同期成長28.7%,是推動出口成長的主要因素。 彭博社引述韓國央行價格統計處處長李文熙的話說:“消費者通膨前景可能受到多種因素的影響,包括中東衝突的走向以及政府價格穩定措施的有效性。” 根據國際貨幣基金組織《世界經濟展望》,韓國2026年的經濟成長預期為1.9%,而通膨率預計將從先前預測的1.8%加速至今年的2.5%。 彭博社引述韓國央行總裁李昌鎔的話稱,先前韓國央行已發出物價壓力加劇的警告,預計2026年的通膨率將超過先前預測的2.2%。 以美元計價的淨以物易物貿易條件指數年增22.8%。

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.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $8 to $155, valuing HIG shares at 11.3x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $13.75 (cut by $0.45) and at 10.6x our 2027 EPS estimate of $14.65 (cut by $0.30), vs. the shares' one-year average forward multiple of 10.3x and peer average of 13x. Q1 EPS of $3.09 vs. $2.20 a year ago missed our $3.60 estimate and $3.39 consensus view. Operating revenue growth of 6.2% was in line with our 6%-10% forecast, amid 5.3% earned premium growth, 13% higher net investment income, and 7.9% fee revenue growth. Q1 written premium growth of 4% and full-year 2025 growth of 7% bode well for 2026 revenue trends as premiums are earned. Underwriting results improved significantly, with Personal Lines combined ratio improving to 87.7% from 106.1% and underlying combined ratio to 85.0% from 89.7%. Business Insurance combined ratio was stable at 94.8%. Weighing the Q1 EPS miss with HIG's decent top-line growth and discounted valuation to peers, we view the shares as undervalued.
