-- 中国商務省は、イランの石油取引に関与する中国石油精製会社5社に対する米国の制裁措置を阻止するため、これらの企業に対し、ワシントンが課した措置を承認せず、遵守しないよう命じたと、国営新華社通信が報じた。 制裁対象となった5社は、恒力石油化工、山東寿光路清石油化工、山東晋城石油化工集団、河北新海化学集団、山東盛興化学である。 これらの企業は、米国財務省外国資産管理局（OFAC）によって特別指定国民リスト（SDNリスト）に掲載され、事実上資産凍結とあらゆる取引の禁止措置が取られた。 同報道によると、中国商務省報道官は、米国の措置は中国企業と「第三国」との貿易・経済活動を「不当に」禁止するものであり、国際法違反にあたると主張している。 報道官はまた、中国政府は国連の承認も国際法の根拠もない一方的な制裁に反対すると改めて表明した。 中国商務省は、からのこの件に関するコメント要請にすぐには応じなかった。 （マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話から得られた情報に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる場合もあります。正確性は保証されません。）

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Opinion On Shares Of Carpenter Technology To Buy From Strong Buy
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month target price by $7 to $508, on an EV/EBITDA of 18.5x our FY 28 (June) EBITDA estimate, in line with CRS's average forward EV/EBITDA during the trailing 12 months of 18.6x. We raise our EPS estimates: FY 26 by $0.07 to $10.64, FY 27 by $0.62 to $13.84 and FY 28 by $0.08 to $16.60. CRS remains exceptionally well-positioned as the aerospace cycle accelerates, with structural demand inflecting and engine orders surging amid tightening nickel-based superalloy supply. We expect sustained pricing power and further margin expansion as SAO segment profitability targets 40%+ longer-term. The $400M brownfield expansion adds only modest capacity versus industry deficits, preserving favorable supply-demand dynamics through FY 28+. However, shares now trade well above historical EV/EBITDA multiples, prompting our downgrade despite strong fundamentals. After the 112% increase in share price in the last year, we think CRS is baking in most of the positive fundamentals, leaving less potential upside.

Market Chatter: Siemens Energy, GE Vernova Raise Payment Risks for Venezuela Power Rebuild
Venezuela's $100 billion grid rebuild push faces setbacks as firms question payments, with under 13,000 megawatts available from a capacity of 36,000 MW, Reuters reported Monday, citing two sources involved in talks.Executives from Siemens Energy and GE Vernova (GEV) raised payment concerns during April meetings in Caracas, prompting financiers to be cautious about supporting grid upgrades.Those concerns weakened confidence in Venezuela's effort to revive infrastructure under a $100 billion reconstruction plan backed by Washington.Interim President Delcy Rodriguez is prioritizing reliable electricity after taking office in January, but the government has not secured firm payment guarantees for contractors.An executive who attended the Caracas meeting said a decade of neglected plants created massive repair needs, while authorities still lack a clear payment mechanism for suppliers.Available generation remains below 40%, driving repeated outages and restricting industrial output nationwide, according to the report.Thermal plant expansion through 2013 under Hugo Chavez left billions of dollars unpaid to contractors, many of whom authorities are now urging to return.Unclear project priorities, equipment needs, and approval requirements from both Washington and Caracas continue to delay investment decisions, the report added, citing the sources.Venezuela operates less than 13,000 MW from a total installed capacity of 36,000 MW, with fuel-based plants accounting for about 2,500 MW, or roughly 13% of capacity.Rodriguez is targeting repairs at two major thermal plants in early phases, though officials have yet to outline a broader recovery strategy.Multinational companies remain cautious about returning to Venezuela after past disputes during the Hugo Chavez era, when unpaid contracts eroded trust and discouraged future engagement.Several firms that did not receive cash payments pursued arbitration or filed legal claims abroad after accepting promissory notes, which they later sold at steep discounts.Rodriguez's government turned down a proposal from foreign firms that requested upfront payments for repairs and spare parts, while some financiers proposed routing payments through US Treasury-supervised oil revenue accounts, the report added, citing sources.has reached out to Siemens Energy, GE Vernova and PDVSA for any comments.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
