-- 根據彭博社週一引述兩位知情人士的消息報道，俄羅斯預計將以比歐洲價格低約38%的價格向中國出售天然氣。 報導稱，價格差距反映了莫斯科在2022年烏克蘭戰爭後失去大部分歐洲買家後，議價能力的下降。 報告稱，政府預測顯示，今年中國天然氣平均價格約為每千立方公尺258.80美元，遠低於剩餘歐洲買家的支付水準。 消息人士稱，預計2029年，對華天然氣出口價格仍將大幅低於歐洲價格，價格差距雖會縮小，但仍將超過27%。 報告引述政府數據稱，數據顯示，去年俄羅斯對華天然氣售價約為每千立方公尺248.7美元，同樣比歐洲價格低38%以上。 報告引述國際文傳電訊社的消息稱，俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司執行長阿列克謝·米勒表示，價格差異反映了亞洲市場運輸距離的縮短。報告指出，2022年烏克蘭戰爭後，俄羅斯與歐洲的大部分天然氣貿易崩潰，只有匈牙利、斯洛伐克、塞爾維亞和土耳其等少數國家繼續透過管道接收天然氣供應。 報告引述俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司（Gazprom）的數據稱，俄羅斯已透過「西伯利亞力量」管道增加對中國的天然氣輸送量。該管道將於2025年達到380億立方公尺的滿載輸送能力，而目前的輸送量略高於該水準。 報告稱，在與中國石油天然氣集團公司達成新協議和基礎設施擴建的支持下，預計到2029年，俄羅斯向東出口的天然氣將攀升至約525億立方公尺。 同時，報告補充說，預計到2028-2029年，俄羅斯透過管道向歐洲輸送的天然氣量將從今年的360億立方公尺降至每年約320億立方公尺。 報告稱，在2022年入侵前，俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司（Gazprom）每年向許多歐洲客戶供應高達2,000億立方公尺的天然氣。已聯繫俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司尋求評論。 （市場閒談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.

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. 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.
