-- 國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)週二發布的最新《2026年4月世界經濟展望》報告將印度2026財年的經濟成長預期從1月預測的6.4%上調至6.5%。 儘管中東戰亂不斷,地緣政治緊張局勢加劇,但預計印度經濟成長速度仍將超過先前預期。 IMF表示:「2026年經濟成長預期小幅上調0.3個百分點(較1月份預測上調0.1個百分點)至6.5%,主要得益於2025年強勁增長勢頭的延續以及美國對印度商品加徵關稅從50%降至10%的積極貢獻,這些因素抵消了中東衝突帶來的不利影響。」 預計2027財年經濟成長將維持在6.5%。 國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)將印度2025財年的經濟成長預期從10月的預測上調至7.6%。 IMF表示,這反映了「該財年第二季和第三季優於預期,以及第四季持續強勁的成長動能」。 在食品價格低迷推動通膨率在2025年顯著下降之後,印度通膨率預計將回落至接近目標水準。 IMF對印度本財年的經濟成長預測低於印度儲備銀行6.9%的預測和世界銀行6.6%的預測。 在全球範圍內,IMF警告稱,中東衝突將拖累經濟成長,並導致通膨壓力。 國際貨幣基金組織表示:“假設衝突有限,預計2026年全球經濟成長率為3.1%,2027年為3.2%。”

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 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.
