-- 据路透社援引熟悉此事的航运和安全部门消息人士报道，美军在亚洲水域拦截了至少三艘悬挂伊朗国旗的船只，并将它们从各自位置调离。 报道称，这些船只位于印度、马来西亚和斯里兰卡附近海域，而此时正值华盛顿持续封锁伊朗海上贸易之际。 路透社援引两名美国和印度航运消息人士以及两名西方海上安全消息人士的话称，近日，美军至少还调离了另外三艘伊朗船只。 其中一艘被确认为“塞文”号油轮，该油轮载油量为100万桶，装载量为65%。根据船舶追踪数据，该油轮最后一次出现是在一个月前马来西亚海岸附近。 据报道，一艘伊朗远洋超级油轮也被拦截，该油轮最后一次出现在马来西亚附近海域的公共追踪应答器上也是在一周多前。 据船舶追踪数据显示，悬挂伊朗国旗、载有超过200万桶原油的“多雷纳”号油轮三天前最后一次出现在印度南部沿海。美国中央司令部在X网站上发布的消息称，“多雷纳”号此前曾试图突破封锁，目前正由美国海军护航。 该消息还指出，作为10天前开始的封锁行动的一部分，多达29艘船只已被要求“掉头或返回港口”。 美国国防部尚未回复的置评请求。 （市场闲谈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.
