-- (根据特朗普在“真相社交”网站上的帖子和最新的价格走势更新。) 伊朗周五宣布,根据黎巴嫩停火协议,所有商船均可通过至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡。 伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇在X网站上发帖称,霍尔木兹海峡将在停火协议剩余时间内保持开放。 阿拉格奇表示:“根据黎巴嫩停火协议,所有商船均可通过霍尔木兹海峡,在停火协议剩余时间内完全开放通行,航行路线将按照伊朗伊斯兰共和国港口和海事组织此前公布的协调路线执行。” 受此消息影响,油价大幅下跌,布伦特原油下跌约11%至每桶88.73美元,穆尔班原油也下跌11%至每桶90.38美元,西德克萨斯中质原油下跌约13%至每桶82.77美元。 这一声明也引起了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的回应。 “伊朗刚刚宣布伊朗海峡已完全开放,可以通行。谢谢。”特朗普在Truth Social上发帖称。 在随后的多条帖子中,特朗普表示,对伊朗的封锁将继续有效,直到达成最终协议。 他说:“针对伊朗的海上封锁将继续全面有效,直到我们与伊朗的交易100%完成。” 特朗普还暗示谈判即将完成,他说:“这个过程应该会很快,因为大部分要点已经谈判完毕。” 特朗普还指出,在清除航道航行风险方面取得了进展,他说:“伊朗在美国的帮助下,已经或正在清除所有水雷。” 在另一篇帖子中,特朗普批评了北约,暗示北约此前没有提供帮助,而是在局势结束后才提供援助。 特朗普发帖称:“霍尔木兹海峡局势结束后,我接到北约的电话,询问我们是否需要帮助。我告诉他们不要插手,除非他们只想往船上装满石油。” 特朗普还感谢了沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋和卡塔尔,他说:“感谢沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋和卡塔尔的英勇和帮助!” 此外,他还感谢巴基斯坦在谈判中发挥的作用。 特朗普表示,美国将保留近期行动中产生的核材料,并强调该协议不涉及任何经济交换。 特朗普补充说,该协议不涉及黎巴嫩,但美国将单独处理黎巴嫩局势,并表示在华盛顿处理真主党问题期间,以色列“被禁止”进一步发动袭击。 他发帖称:“伊朗已同意永不再封锁霍尔木兹海峡。它将不再被用作对付世界的武器。” 霍尔木兹海峡是中东大部分石油运输的主要海上通道,连接波斯湾和阿曼湾,承担着全球近 20% 的石油和天然气运输量。

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.
