德国商业银行称,受中东战乱影响,欧洲面临航空燃油短缺。

-- 德国商业银行周二在一份报告中指出,在伊朗战争和霍尔木兹海峡关闭的背景下,原油一直是许多人关注的焦点,但精炼油产品,尤其是航空燃油的短缺问题尤为严重。 该银行指出,从国际机场协会和国际航空运输协会到欧洲经济,关于航空燃油短缺的警告日益增多。 国际能源署对欧洲航空燃油市场进行了调查,发现供应极其紧张。到2025年,欧洲经合组织国家的航空燃油需求量将达到每日160万桶,其中国内产量仅能满足每日110万桶的需求。 由此产生的净进口需求中约有75%由海湾地区满足,但该地区目前由于霍尔木兹海峡航运中断而面临压力。 国际能源署还指出,航空燃油库存水平大幅下降。德国商业银行表示,由于中东地区的供应中断且缺乏足够的替代,库存面临进一步下降的风险,尤其是在未来几个月需求预计将上升的情况下。 欧盟计划于周三提交一份提案草案,以应对航空燃油短缺问题,并防止即将实施的航空旅行限制。该银行援引路透社的报道称,预计下个月将推出欧盟范围内的炼油产能分布图。 此外,还将出台措施以确保炼油产能的充分利用和维护。然而,德国商业银行表示,由于许多炼油厂已经满负荷运转,这些措施可能收效甚微。

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.
