-- 德國商業銀行週五發布的《歐洲日出》報告重點指出: 市場:受中東停火消息影響,布蘭特原油價格下跌。美國公債殖利率在亞洲小幅走高,標普500指數和那斯達克指數收在歷史新高後,股指期貨走高。美元指數和黃金價格保持穩定。 聯準會:聯準會理事史蒂芬米蘭認為沒有理由延後降息,他傾向於今年降息三到四次,並表示聯準會可以透過調整銀行監管來縮減資產負債表。紐約聯邦儲備銀行行長約翰威廉斯則認為,一旦通膨回升至2%,就需要降息以防止實際利率機械性上升。 人工智慧:白宮正致力於將「人類神話」(Anthropic Mythos)人工智慧系統提供給美國各機構使用。 地緣政治:以色列和黎巴嫩之間為期10天的停火協議生效,美國總統唐納德·川普表示,美國和伊朗可能「很快」就達成永久停火協議,雙方可能在本週末舉行會談。英國和法國將主辦一次有40個國家參加的峰會,討論在霍爾木茲海峽部署海軍力量,以維護「航行自由」。 ==歐洲: 歐洲央行:歐洲央行管理委員會成員菲利普·萊恩認為「現在做出任何過於果斷的決定都為時過早」。管理委員會成員約阿希姆·納格爾表示,歐洲央行需要保持選擇權。管理委員會成員奧利·雷恩呼籲保持冷靜。管理委員會成員普里莫茲·多倫茨認為,能源價格下跌已使經濟回歸到歐洲央行的基本預期,因此沒有理由升息。彭博社最新調查預測,歐洲央行將在6月升息一次。 歐元債券:管理委員會成員伊莎貝爾·施納貝爾表示,現在是再次討論歐元債券的“好時機”,歐盟通過共同債務為歐洲公共產品融資“完全合乎邏輯”。 英國央行:英國央行政策制定者艾倫泰勒表示,維持利率不變本身已是一項緊縮政策,投票決定維持利率不變是為了爭取更多時間評估中東戰爭的影響。 英國:英國財政大臣雷切爾·里夫斯表示,她傾向於削減開支,而不是增稅或舉債來增加國防開支。 德國:德國政府將2026年經濟成長預期下修一半至0.5%,2027年下調至0.9%,並將通膨預期上調至2.7%及2.8%(路透)。

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 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.
