市場傳聞:美國政府要求渥太華在貿易談判前支付“准入費”

-- 根據加拿大廣播公司(CBC)週三報道,四位消息人士向加拿大廣播電台透露,川普政府要求加拿大支付相當於「准入費」的條件,才能參與旨在修訂《加美墨自由貿易協定》(CUSMA)的貿易談判。 一位知情的高級官員表示:“美國人在談判開始前就設定了條件。” 三位消息人士用「准入費」一詞來形容美國政府在正式貿易談判開始前尋求的讓步。 前魁北克省省長讓·沙雷斯特也證實了美國的這項要求。沙雷斯特於週二被任命為加拿大總理馬克·卡尼新成立的加美經濟關係顧問委員會成員。他對加拿大廣播電台表示:“(美國總統唐納德·)特朗普希望我們在坐到談判桌前做出很多讓步。而他自己卻不會做出任何讓步。” 報道稱,美國方面建議加拿大應立即做出讓步以引起川普的注意,尤其是在總統目前正忙於處理多個重大問題的情況下。 然而,加拿大方面表示,他們曾兩度向美國政府提出讓步,但都沒有獲得任何回報。週三,卡尼在前往內閣會議的路上表示,加拿大政府與美國政府保持多層次的溝通,以解決兩國之間不同的貿易問題。 「這不是美國單方面發號施令的情況。我們有談判,我們可以達成互利共贏的結果,但這需要一些時間,我們也會耐心等待。」他說。 (市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話,和/或其他媒體報導。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源,但可能包含傳聞和猜測。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.
