-- 根據多家媒體通報,引述中國海關週二公佈的數據,中國3月份原油出口量較去年同期下降2.8%,至4,998萬噸,約合每日1,177萬桶。 彭博社通報稱,中國3月原油進口量高於2月。今年迄今,中國原油進口量年增8.9%,顯示中國持續增加原油庫存。 路透社通報稱,中國3月天然氣進口量(包括管道天然氣和液化天然氣)年減近10.7%,至818萬噸,為2022年10月以來的最低水準。 同時,受政府上月為保障國內供應而實施的成品油出口禁令影響,中國3月份成品油(包括柴油、汽油、航空煤油和船用燃料油)出口量下滑12.2%至460萬噸。 路透社引述分析師的話報導,由於原油供應趨緊,中國4月份原油進口量可能比平均需求量減少約200萬桶/日。 通報也指出,由於來自中東的貨物已於1月和2月裝船,當時霍爾木茲海峽的油氣流量正常,因此3月的進口量並未受到持續能源供應危機的太大影響。 通報引述中國顧問公司Oilchem的數據稱,中國煉油廠3月的產能利用率為68.79%,比去年同期下降0.9個百分點,比2月下降4.47個百分點。 中國國家能源局尚未回覆的置評請求。記者未能聯繫到中國海關總署。

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.

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.
