据报道,特朗普政府正在考虑延长对俄罗斯石油的豁免期限,以遏制供应冲击。

-- 据多家媒体报道,美国计划延长对俄罗斯石油的豁免,允许购买约1亿桶石油,旨在缓解供应冲击。 据报道,特朗普政府预计将延长这项豁免,允许购买受制裁的俄罗斯石油和成品油,最早可能在周五做出决定。 目前这项为期30天的豁免于3月中旬推出,允许交易已在海上运输的俄罗斯石油,将于4月11日到期。 据报道,美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周四与唐纳德·特朗普总统讨论了延期事宜,双方一致认为此举有助于控制不断上涨的能源成本。 据报道,一些亚洲国家正在敦促美国延长这项豁免,理由是能源短缺和与伊朗冲突相关的成本上涨。 报道称,印度和菲律宾等国正在寻求继续获得已在运输途中的俄罗斯原油,各国政府正努力在市场趋紧的情况下确保供应。 据报道,一个驻华盛顿的印度代表团正在敦促美国官员延长对伊朗原油的豁免,并扩大对俄罗斯液化天然气的现有豁免范围。 据报道,一位印度官员表示,新德里希望美国延长豁免,但否认正在积极寻求豁免,并补充说,印度仍在继续大量进口俄罗斯石油。 国际能源署表示,此次危机引发了有史以来规模最大的供应中断,加剧了人们对11月美国中期选举前燃料成本的担忧。 然而,潜在的豁免可能会削弱西方对俄罗斯的制裁,可能增加俄罗斯在乌克兰战争中的收入,并加剧与反对放松限制的欧洲盟友之间的紧张关系。 欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩表示,目前的形势并不支持放松制裁,并强调了西方伙伴之间日益加剧的分歧。 3月20日,华盛顿对伊朗海上石油运输实施了为期30天的豁免。 华盛顿的立法者也对这项政策提出了批评,共和党人和民主党人都警告说,在当前地缘政治紧张局势加剧的情况下,这项豁免可能会使俄罗斯和伊朗都受益。 油价仍比冲突前水平高出30%以上,反映出在美以军事行动后,油价持续波动且供应选择有限。已联系白宫、美国财政部和印度外交部,寻求置评。

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.
