市場傳聞:伊朗戰爭擾亂全球能源供應,歐洲或數週內面臨航空燃油短缺

-- 據報道,國際能源總署署長週四警告稱,歐洲的航空燃油可能僅夠維持六週,如果伊朗衝突持續導致能源供應受限,航班可能立即中斷。 國際能源總署執行長法提赫·比羅爾接受美聯社採訪時表示,這是近代史上最嚴重的能源危機,其根源在於霍爾木茲海峽的石油和天然氣運輸中斷,而霍爾木茲海峽是全球能源運輸的關鍵通道。 「我可以告訴你們,我們很快就會聽到消息,由於航空燃油短缺,一些從A城市飛往B城市的航班可能會被取消,」他說。 供應衝擊已經推高了全球燃料、天然氣和電力價格,預計隨著局勢持續,更廣泛的經濟影響將會加劇。比羅爾警告說,通膨壓力和經濟成長放緩很可能在多個地區出現。 他表示,雖然所有國家都會受到影響,但亞洲、非洲和拉丁美洲的發展中經濟體將承受不成比例的負擔。 「有些國家可能比其他國家更富裕,有些國家可能比其他國家擁有更多能源,但沒有一個國家能夠免受這場危機的影響,」他說。 他警告說,如果不能達成一項確保霍爾木茲海峽全面重新開放的決議,成品油短缺的情況可能會惡化,進一步加劇全球供應鏈的壓力。 比羅爾也對伊朗據稱對過境霍爾木茲海峽的船隻徵收「通行費」表示擔憂,並警告這可能為其他戰略水道樹立一個危險的先例。 「如果我們改變了一次,就很難再改回來,」他說。 「在這裡實行通行費制度,在那裡卻不實行,這很難做到,」他指的是亞洲的一些重要航道。 同時,即使敵對行動緩和,衝突對能源基礎設施造成的實際損害也可能延長危機。據比羅爾稱,該地區已有超過80個主要能源設施遭到破壞,其中超過三分之一遭受嚴重損毀。 他表示,超過100艘油輪和數艘液化天然氣運輸船仍滯留在波斯灣,限制了它們緩解能源短缺的能力。 比羅爾說,即使在樂觀的情況下,將能源生產恢復到戰前水準也可能需要數月,甚至長達兩年。 他說:“恢復到戰前水平最多需要兩年。” (市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源,但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。)

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.
