市場の噂:米国政権、貿易交渉前にオタワに「参加費」を要求

-- トランプ政権は、改訂版カナダ・米国・メキシコ自由貿易協定(CUSMA)に向けた貿易交渉に参加するにあたり、カナダに対し事実上の「参加費」を要求していると、4人の情報筋がラジオ・カナダに語ったと、CBCが水曜日に報じた。 「アメリカ側は交渉開始前に条件を提示している」と、この件に詳しい高官の一人は述べた。 3人の情報筋は、正式な貿易交渉開始前にアメリカ政権が求めている譲歩を「参加費」と表現した。 このアメリカの要求は、火曜日にマーク・カーニー首相のカナダ・アメリカ経済関係に関する新諮問委員会に任命されたジャン・シャレスト元ケベック州首相によっても確認された。「ドナルド・トランプ米大統領は、我々が交渉の席に着く前に多くの譲歩を求めている」とシャレスト氏はラジオ・カナダに語った。「一方で、彼自身は一切譲歩しようとしない」。 報告書によると、米国側からは、トランプ大統領が現在複数の重要課題を抱えている状況を踏まえ、カナダは直ちに譲歩することで大統領の注意を引くべきだという意見が出ている。 しかし、カナダ側の情報筋によると、カナダは米国政権に対し2度譲歩案を提示したが、見返りは得られなかったという。カーニー外相は水曜日の閣議に向かう途中、カナダ政府は米国政権と複数のレベルで接触しており、両国間の様々な貿易問題について協議していると述べた。「米国が一方的に条件を押し付けているわけではない。交渉は行っており、双方にとって有益な結果にたどり着ける。時間がかかるだろうが、我々も時間をかけるつもりだ」と語った。 (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、および/または他のメディア情報源に基づいています。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、噂や憶測が含まれている可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)

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.
