-- 据路透社周五援引四位知情人士的消息报道，印度炼油商通过印度工业信贷投资银行（ICICI银行）以人民币结算了约2亿美元的伊朗石油交易，此举得益于美国的豁免政策。 消息人士称，伊朗原油货款正通过ICICI银行上海分行以人民币支付。 报道称，此前美国于上月推出了一项为期30天的豁免政策，允许购买俄罗斯和伊朗石油，旨在缓解中东冲突期间的能源价格。 报道还称，美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周三表示，该豁免政策不会延长。 报道补充说，印度石油公司本月早些时候购买了200万桶伊朗原油，这是该公司七年来首次购买此类原油，价值约2亿美元。 报道援引伦敦证券交易所集团（LSEG）的数据和一位航运消息人士的话称，信实工业公司也已接收了伊朗原油，四艘油轮获准靠泊，至少有一船货物已经卸货。 消息人士称，两家炼油商均通过印度工业信贷投资银行（ICICI）以人民币结算交易，但收款方的身份尚不明确。 消息人士告诉路透社，印度石油公司（IOC）在收到供应商备货通知后支付了约95%的货款，这种付款方式与通常的货后付款方式不同。 报道援引一位消息人士的话称，印度石油公司不打算再购买伊朗原油。 报道还指出，印度炼油商此前曾使用人民币购买俄罗斯原油。 报道补充说，自2019年以来，由于美国的制裁，印度基本上避免购买伊朗原油，而中国独立炼油商一直是伊朗原油出口的主要买家。 印度工业信贷投资银行、印度石油公司和印度外交部均未立即回复的置评请求。 （市场动态新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息据信来自可靠来源，但可能包含传闻和猜测。准确性无法保证。）

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.

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.
