彭博社分析称,由于炼油商争相抢购原油,哈萨克斯坦原油出口将达到创纪录水平。

-- 据彭博社周一发布的分析报告显示,随着全球供应趋紧,哈萨克斯坦经黑海出口的原油量预计将在5月份达到每日约170万桶,接近历史最高水平。 该分析报告援引交易员的话称,主要来自哈萨克斯坦、少量来自俄罗斯的CPC混合原油的出货量预计将增至约每日170万桶。 分析报告指出,这将接近9月份创下的每日172万桶的峰值。 此次出货量的增长缓解了欧洲炼油商的困境,此前由于霍尔木兹海峡的石油运输中断,欧洲炼油商一直难以获得原油供应。 分析报告指出,冲突爆发后,美国和伊朗削减了波斯湾地区的原油出口,导致全球供应压力加剧,推高了原油价格,并加剧了主要市场的供应紧张。 周五,CPC混合原油价格较布伦特原油溢价7.75美元/桶,创历史新高,扭转了此前冲突前每桶3至4美元的折价局面。 此前,由于俄罗斯黑海港口无人机袭击事件以及哈萨克斯坦腾吉兹油田的临时停产,1月和2月的装船量一度跌破100万桶/日。 随着腾吉兹油田恢复生产,3月份出口强劲反弹,增幅超过60%,达到约160万桶/日。 4月份的装船量最初计划约为150万桶/日,但由于3月下旬的货物提前交付,预计实际装船量将更高。 分析显示,哈萨克斯坦原油占CPC原油出货量的90%以上,而俄罗斯原油近几个月的出货量约为10万桶/日。

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says

Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

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.
