-- 根據《國會山報》週一報道，美國總統唐納德·川普表示，汽油價格接近每加侖4美元可能會迅速下降，並駁斥了汽油價格可能在明年之前維持在每加侖3美元以上的預測。 據報道，川普表示，他不同意能源部長克里斯·賴特的觀點，即汽油價格可能要到2027年才會跌破每加侖3美元，他稱這一評估「完全錯誤」。 報道還稱，川普補充說，一旦伊朗衝突結束，燃油價格就會下降。 報導稱，賴特週日告訴CNN，由於霍爾木茲海峽的航運中斷，汽油價格可能在明年之前維持在每加侖3美元以上。 賴特表示，燃油價格可能已經達到峰值，預計會回落，並補充說，解決伊朗衝突將大幅降低能源成本。 財政部長貝森特上週表示，汽油價格最快可能在今年夏天回落到每加侖3美元左右。 報告引述美國汽車協會的數據稱，受伊朗相關航運限制的影響，全球石油市場動盪不安，美國汽油價格自2022年以來首次突破每加侖4美元。 美國已對伊朗港口實施封鎖。川普在訪談中表示，該措施非常有效，每天對伊朗造成約5億美元的損失。 報告指出，外交努力仍不明朗。副總統萬斯將率領代表團在巴基斯坦舉行會談，而伊朗方面表示尚未決定是否加入談判。 白宮尚未回覆的置評請求。 （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.

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.
