最新消息:美伊談判前景不明朗,WTI原油價格上漲

-- 週二,由於伊朗和美國之間的談判前景不明朗,西德克薩斯中質原油(WTI)收高。 5月交割的WTI原油期貨價格上漲2.52美元,收在每桶92.13美元;6月交屋的布蘭特原油期貨價格上漲3.11美元,收在每桶98.59美元。 先前市場預期,伊朗和美國之間的談判將達成協議,結束敵對行動,因為為期兩週的停火協議將於明天到期。然而,伊朗尚未公開確認是否會派遣談判代表前往巴基斯坦與美國會面,儘管《華爾街日報》報道稱,伊朗已告知調解人,將派出一個團隊參加談判。 週一,油價飆升。此前,伊朗於上週五短暫開放霍爾木茲海峽,隨後又再次關閉。同時,美國繼續封鎖伊朗港口,並扣押了一艘伊朗貨船。霍爾木茲海峽的關閉阻礙了波斯灣國家的石油出口,而這些國家供應了全球20%的石油日需求。 盛寶銀行指出:「在周三停火協議到期前,伊斯蘭堡方面可能與美國舉行會談。此前一個週末,緊張局勢再度升級,各方釋放出相互矛盾的信號,導致霍爾木茲海峽目前實際上處於關閉狀態。能夠通過的船隻數量有限,但這並未緩解全球能源市場持續緊張的局面,即供應日益短缺,從而推高了柴油、其他大煤油、宗肥和大肥。 海峽關閉推高了石油現貨價格,亞洲各國競相爭奪即期供應,同時也引發了人們對高油價以及波斯灣國家供應的成品油、液化天然氣和其他大宗商品價格將推高通膨並導致利率上升的擔憂。

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.
