多倫多證券交易所收盤:指數重回上漲軌道,八個交易日內第七次上漲

-- 多倫多證券交易所週五重回上漲軌道,在過去八個交易日中第七次走高。儘管持續的關稅爭端和揮之不去的地緣政治緊張局勢造成了市場波動,但投資者似乎仍然看好大盤的基本面價值。 資源類股為主的S&P/TSX綜合指數收盤上漲218.05點,漲幅0.65%,報33,695.76點。諷刺的是,儘管大宗商品價格走低,且羅森伯格研究公司(Rosenberg Research)指出WTI原油的看跌趨勢可能持續到8月份,黃金價格也只是在「仍在形成的中期下跌趨勢中」出現短期反彈,但該指數的上漲主要由基本金屬(上漲近1.7%)和能源(上漲1.5%)領漲。 BMO資本市場首席經濟學家道格拉斯·波特(Douglas Porter)在其定期發布的「要點」報告中指出,中東衝突始於近六週前。他表示,「儘管那段時間油價波動劇烈,但或許最大的意外是戰爭對其他金融市場的影響微乎其微。」波特指出,以黃金為主的多倫多證券交易所綜合指數(TSX)較六週前下跌約2%,但他補充說,「考慮到金價下跌超過9%,『黃金作為避險資產的聲譽已蕩然無計』,這幾乎可以忽略無計。 今日經濟方面,市場關注的焦點主要集中在3月的就業數據。豐業銀行資本市場經濟主管德里克·霍爾特在周五早些時候公佈的數據顯示加拿大新增1.4萬個就業機會後,發表了一份題為《市場理所當然地忽視了加拿大就業數據》的報告。數據顯示,加拿大新增就業崗位,但「具體情況喜憂參半」。霍爾特在報告中指出,當月“病假和天氣仍然是拖累就業的因素”,這“可能預示著以後就業市場將有所增長”。霍爾特還指出,工資“大幅上漲”,但加拿大統計局表示工資數據受到結構性變化的影響,因此存在“兩面性”的解讀。霍爾特表示,加拿大央行的觀察家應該繼續淡化過去的經濟數據。 「市場基本上忽略了加拿大的就業數據,這是理所當然的。他們關注的是過去,以及大宗商品生產國飆升的大宗商品價格,這些價格以及美國經濟和貿易政策的前景才是市場關注的焦點。」霍爾特說。 本週羅森伯格研究公司(Rosenberg Research)的「戴夫的技術分析」(Technicals with Dave)專欄聚焦大宗商品。作者沃爾特‧墨菲指出,自羅森伯格研究公司上次發表評論以來,包含14種商品的標普高盛商品指數(S&P GSCI Equal Weight Select Index)持續創下多年新高。但他表示,該指數的周線科波克曲線領先標普高盛商品指數(S&P GSCI Commodity Index),並補充說,「本週或下週出現確認的下跌趨勢並不令人意外」。因此,墨菲認為,上週突破592-630阻力位的反彈可能只是「最後的掙扎」。預計該區間將為即將到來的回檔提供初步支撐。他指出,其他值得關注的支撐區域包括近期的566-551美元缺口和521美元的突破點。 關於WTI原油,墨菲在其3月份的評論中指出,研究發現每桶87.64美元至95.03美元區間存在重要阻力,且週線科波克曲線在未來四到五週內有可能繼續走高。他表示,自那以來的五週內,油價最初在日內突破阻力位,但很快回落,並且難以在日線收盤價上突破阻力位。 「雖然我們很容易得出結論,認為油價在上週晚些時候已經徹底突破了該區間,但周三的反轉使人們對突破的徹底性產生了懷疑,」他補充道。 墨菲表示,科波克指標「仍然有一些作用,但可能不多了」。他認為油價可能在未來兩到四周見頂,並在5月底確認進入下跌趨勢。 「從那時起,這種看跌趨勢很可能會持續到7月,甚至8月,」他補充道。 墨菲指出,先前每桶87.64美元至95.03美元的阻力位現在變成了支撐位。如果跌破該支撐位,羅森伯格研究公司將專注於84美元區域,然後是78.40美元的突破點。他表示,在「算術圖表」上,113美元至129美元區域存在「相當大的圖表阻力和斐波那契阻力」。他還補充說,129美元水準是自去年12月低點以來當前反彈行情的61.8%所在位置,該位置是2020-2022年上漲趨勢的61.8%。 關於黃金,「短短幾週,情況就發生瞭如此大的變化,」墨菲說。他指出,3月初的評論顯示,當時金價為每盎司5,149美元,自去年9月以來一直處於點數指標的「買入」訊號,但周線科波克曲線在當月底已確認進入下跌趨勢。墨菲指出,由此產生的看跌傾向可能會持續到6月,隨後金價跌破5000美元,並進一步下探至4098美元的低點後才有所回升。他表示,此次下跌觸發了點數指標的「賣出」訊號;科波克指標也持續處於下跌趨勢。 墨菲補充說:「超買且持續惡化的科波克曲線預計在5月下旬或6月初仍將保持疲軟。與此同時,超賣且日線指標有所改善,可能在本月中旬開始築頂。這種組合表明,未來幾天的任何進一步上漲都只是中期下跌趨勢中短暫的反彈。」 墨菲指出,先前每盎司5,064美元至4,700美元的支撐位很可能成為反彈的強勁阻力。第二個阻力位在每盎司5,419美元至5,608美元之間。 他表示,黃金近期跌至每盎司4098美元只是短暫跌破了4550美元至4275美元的支撐位,並補充說,此次跌破並不被視為決定性的,4550美元至4275美元仍然是重要的支撐位。 “也就是說,如果金價跌回4098美元以下,則可能進一步下探至3885美元區域,甚至更低。” 今日大宗商品方面,由於以色列持續對黎巴嫩發動攻擊,霍爾木茲海峽仍關閉,人們對伊朗和美國之間的停火協議前景存疑,西德州中質原油收低。 5月交割的WTI原油期貨價格下跌1.30美元,收在每桶96.57美元;6月交屋的布蘭特原油期貨價格下跌0.60美元,收在每桶95.32美元。 週五午後,儘管美元走軟,但黃金期貨價格仍有所回落。先前有報告顯示,受汽油價格上漲的影響,美國3月通膨率飆升,令市場對聯準會降息的預期降低。 5月交割的黃金期貨價格下跌40美元,至每盎司4,778美元。

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.
