受霍爾木茲海峽局勢升級和和平協議前景不明朗的影響,原油基準價格週線大幅下跌。

By

-- 週五,全球原油基準價格收跌,霍爾木茲海峽軍事衝突升級以及外交突破的初步希望交織在一起,令市場情緒緊張。 西德州中質原油(WTI)結算價為每桶94.68美元,低於前一周的每桶102.50美元;布蘭特原油收於每桶100.14美元,低於前一周的每桶109.20美元。 WTI本週下跌6.4%,布蘭特原油下跌7.42%。 儘管受近期軍事衝突升級的推動,油價在周末出現反彈,但由於先前市場對美伊14點和平備忘錄最終可能重新開放全球航道的樂觀預期,兩大基準原油最終仍以下跌收盤。 本週開始,美國軍方啟動了“自由計劃”,旨在護送商船通過被封鎖的霍爾木茲海峽。 此舉立即引發伊朗對阿聯酋基礎設施和過境船隻的飛彈和無人機攻擊,德黑蘭方面聲稱這項行動侵犯了其禁區。 盛寶銀行策略師表示,霍爾木茲海峽實際上仍然關閉,美伊軍隊之間再次爆發衝突,降低了近期重新開放的可能性。 週五,阿聯酋國防部表示,其防空系統攔截了兩枚從伊朗發射的彈道飛彈和三架無人機,這是本周伊朗第三次向阿聯酋發動攻擊。 儘管美國隨後起草了一項旨在保障航行安全的聯合國安理會決議,但川普總統本周中宣布和平協議取得“重大進展”,一度使市場趨於平靜。 由於華盛頓暫停了護航任務,以便德黑蘭有時間審查一份旨在結束衝突的單頁諒解備忘錄,價格有所回落。 然而,美國供應趨緊的局面隨後對市場情緒構成了挑戰。 美國能源資訊署報告稱,美國原油庫存減少230萬桶,至4.572億桶。 市場分析師指出,美國煉油廠越來越依賴國內庫存來彌補中東供應長期中斷的影響,導緻美國原油出口量增加至每日475萬桶。 週四,伊朗飛彈襲擊美國海軍艦艇以及阿巴斯港附近發生爆炸的報道出現後,市場波動再次加劇。 此前,美國財政部宣布製裁伊拉克副石油部長,指控其協助伊朗規避禁運。 儘管這些衝突事件在最後幾個交易日推高了油價,但仍不足以抹去過去一周因市場尋求外交底線而造成的累積跌幅。 盛寶銀行分析師補充說,國際能源總署估計區域供應損失約為每日1400萬桶,“僅部分被美國出口激增、戰略儲備釋放和需求萎縮所抵消。” 根據美國能源資訊署(EIA)的數據,美國石油產品週出口量創歷史新高。 截至5月1日當週,美國石油產品出口總量達到創紀錄的820萬桶/日,這是自美國能源資訊署1991年2月開始公佈產品出口數據以來的最高水準。 根據EIA的數據,這一週的數字高於前一週的770萬桶/日。 EIA數據顯示,受原油出口大幅下降的影響,美國原油和石油產品週出口總量為1297萬桶/日,低於前一周的1418萬桶/日。 原油週出口量為480萬桶/日,低於前一周的640萬桶/日。 同時,根據貝克休斯公司(BKR)週五公佈的數據,截至5月8日當週,美國石油鑽井平台數量較前一周的408座增加2座,達到410座。而一年前同期,美國石油鑽井平台數量為467座。 北美油氣鑽井平台總數(衡量未來產量水準的關鍵早期指標)較前一週增加2座,達到672座,高於前一週的670座。 根據美國商品期貨交易委員會(CFTC)週五發布的最新交易商持倉報告(CTC),截至5月5日當週,WTI原油期貨和選擇權市場的基金經理人維持了淨多頭部位。 數據顯示,基金經理人報告的多頭部位為214,039個,較4月28日減少5,611個;空頭部位減少2,066個,至82,083個。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Rating On Shares Of Paycom Software, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our target by $19 to $150, 12.3x our 2027 EPS estimate, significantly below PAYC's three-year historical forward P/E average of 24.9x. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.53 to $10.73 and 2027's EPS view by $0.95 to $12.23. PAYC conservative 2026 guidance, which projects a revenue growth slowdown to 6%-7%, is a primary concern as it contrasts sharply with the company's current performance. This strength is evidenced by an expanding 48.2% adjusted EBITDA margin, robust 17% Y/Y growth in operating cash flow, and high 91% client retention, all fueled by the demonstrable ROI its AI-powered platform delivers to clients. Underscoring this internal confidence, management executed a massive $1.06B share repurchase in Q1, taking on $675M in debt to capitalize on what it views as a significant undervaluation. This aggressive, debt-funded capital return increases financial leverage but signals a profound belief in the company's long-term value proposition, despite the cautious near-term growth outlook.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our target by $2 to $23 on a forward P/FFO of 10.9x our 2026 FFO estimate, a premium to peers and HST's three-year forward average (8.9x) due to a stronger 2026 travel outlook and recently redeveloped properties driving higher revenue per average room (RevPAR) this year. We increase our 2026 FFO estimate by $0.05 to $2.11 and leave our 2027 view unchanged at $2.15. San Francisco showed remarkable recovery boosted by the Super Bowl and accelerating business travel as resorts in Florida/Phoenix saw stronger-than-normal Q1 performance. Weather-related disruptions in Hawaii and the East Coast negative impacted RevPAR by 120 bps in Q1, while the outlook for growth in 2H 2026 implies growth slowing to 1%-2% range. Productivity improvements have helped to offset some of the 5% Y/Y growth in wages, but this cost inflation is a risk we continue to monitor. We do not currently expect any acquisitions, with management setting a high IRR bar and favoring buybacks and special dividends currently.

Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Hold Opinion On Shares Of Fortis Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target is unchanged at CAD80, valuing shares at a forward P/E of 21.5x our next-12-month EPS estimate of CAD3.72, a premium to its five-year average of 19.3x. We keep our 2026 EPS estimate at CAD3.62 and raise our 2027 EPS estimate by CAD0.03 to CAD3.88. Q1 results showed continued progress on load growth opportunities, with ITC advancing data center interconnection projects and TEP securing initial contractual milestones in Arizona while pursuing additional phases. We expect revenue to grow 7.8% in 2026, followed by 5.6% growth in 2027, supported by customer rate updates at Central Hudson (effective July 2025), FortisBC Energy (effective January 2026), UNS Gas (effective March 2026), and a pending decision at TEP (expected fall 2026), alongside ongoing rate base growth. From 2025-2028, we expect EPS to grow at a 5.3% CAGR while dividends grow at 4.6%, both lagging the peer median growth rates of 7.9% and 5.2%, respectively. Shares currently yield 3.3%, slightly ahead of the peer median 3.2%.
