-- 据《日经新闻》周四报道，日本国际石油开发株式会社（Inpex，TYO:1605）总裁兼首席执行官上田隆之表示，由于美国和以色列对伊朗发动袭击导致霍尔木兹海峡实际上关闭，该公司从阿联酋的出口业务已停止。 上田在接受该报采访时表示，尽管阿布扎比的原油产量大幅下降，但该公司设施并未受到任何损害。 上田在采访中表示，国际石油开发株式会社的大部分合同都是船上交货（FOB）合同，买家有时会援引不可抗力条款，因为海峡关闭导致货物无法通过。 报道称，该公司在阿塞拜疆、哈萨克斯坦和澳大利亚也拥有资产，但从这些国家运往日本所需的时间是从中东运往日本的两到三倍。 据新闻社报道，鉴于当前危机，日本国际石油开发株式会社（Inpex）计划优先向日本炼油企业（如Eneos (TYO:5020)、出光石油 (TYO:5019)、Cosmo Energy (TYO:5021) 和太阳石油）进行现货销售。 报道还补充道，尽管日本必须减少对中东原油的依赖，但上田强调，大幅削减来自阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯的供应是不现实的，因此，在推进多元化努力的同时，加强与该地区的联系仍然至关重要。 （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，但可能包含传闻和推测。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.

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.
