彭博社分析稱,由於煉油廠爭相搶購原油,哈薩克原油出口將達到創紀錄水準。

-- 根據彭博社週一發布的分析報告顯示,隨著全球供應趨緊,哈薩克經黑海出口的原油量預計將在5月達到每日約170萬桶,接近歷史最高水準。 分析報告引述交易員的話稱,主要來自哈薩克、少量來自俄羅斯的CPC混合原油的出貨量預計將增至約每日170萬桶。 分析報告指出,這將接近9月創下的每日172萬桶的高峰。 這次出貨量的成長緩解了歐洲煉油商的困境,此前由於霍爾木茲海峽的石油運輸中斷,歐洲煉油商一直難以獲得原油供應。 分析報告指出,衝突爆發後,美國和伊朗削減了波斯灣地區的原油出口,導致全球供應壓力加劇,推高了原油價格,並加劇了主要市場的供應緊張。 週五,CPC混合原油價格較布蘭特原油溢價7.75美元/桶,創歷史新高,扭轉了先前衝突前每桶3至4美元的折價局面。 此前,由於俄羅斯黑海港口無人機襲擊事件以及哈薩克斯坦騰吉茲油田的臨時停產,1月和2月的裝船量一度跌破100萬桶/日。 隨著騰吉茲油田恢復生產,3月出口強勁反彈,增幅超過60%,達到約160萬桶/日。 4月份的裝船量最初計劃約為150萬桶/日,但由於3月下旬的貨物提前交付,因此預計實際裝船量將更高。 分析顯示,哈薩克原油佔CPC原油出貨量的90%以上,而俄羅斯原油近幾個月的出貨量約為10萬桶/日。

Suncorp Group Sees Improved Earnings Stability Under New Reinsurance Structure, Jefferies Says

Suncorp Group (ASX:SUN) will benefit from reduced earnings volatility and improved capital efficiency following its new five-year aggregate reinsurance program, though growth forecasts have been modestly revised lower, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.Jefferies noted that the new reinsurance program, starting June 30, provides AU$800 million in annual catastrophe protection and up to AU$2.4 billion over five years, capping natural hazard costs at budgeted levels in about 90% of scenarios and reducing earnings volatility from extreme weather.The equity research firm said that the company's revised framework raises its fiscal 2027 natural hazard allowance to AU$1.85 billion and ties it to exposure growth following a AU$453 million first-half 2026 overrun, with the impact broadly neutral.The research firm stated that, despite differing economics from its peers, the company's underlying insurance trading ratio outlook remains steady at 10% to 12% at the top end of its range, with reported earnings expected to better reflect underlying performance as catastrophe volatility eases.The research firm slightly revised its forecasts, cutting gross written premium growth to about 3% from 3.8% due to foreign exchange effects in New Zealand and updating investment income and valuation assumptions, with earnings estimates adjusted within a range of negative 3% to 1% over the forecast period.Jefferies maintained a hold rating on Suncorp Group and raised the price target to AU$17.70 from AU$16.50.

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.
