-- 週五盤後交易中,歐洲天然氣期貨走低。此前伊朗國家媒體報道稱,德黑蘭已透過巴基斯坦外交管道向美國提交了另一份談判方案,此舉被視為可能為恢復霍爾木茲海峽的天然氣運輸鋪平道路。 荷蘭TTF近月合約下跌1.211%,至每兆瓦時45.43歐元(53.36美元);英國NBP合約下跌1.533%,至每熱量單位111.15便士(1.51美元)。 據CNBC報道,美國總統川普週五在白宮對記者表示:“伊朗想達成協議,但我並不滿意。” 市場參與者仍在權衡地緣政治風險與相對穩定的歐洲供應狀況以及其他地區疲軟的需求。標普全球分析師在周四的一份報告中指出,歐洲受益於「其他地區需求的大幅下降」。報告指出,儘管戰爭已導致全球液化天然氣供應減少約20%,但歐洲的進口量整體維持穩定。 報告稱,亞洲已吸收了大部分需求調整。報告引述政府數據顯示,中國3月液化天然氣進口量年減19%。 分析師表示,基準液化天然氣價格仍偏高,但已從近期高點回落。 4月30日,東北亞JKM基準價格報18.309美元/百萬英熱單位(MMBtu),當日上漲8.3%。 4月29日,西北歐DES液化天然氣基準價格報15.719美元/百萬英熱單位,當日上漲7.9%。 分析師表示,這兩個基準價格仍高於衝突前的水平,但已從衝突爆發初期的高點回落。 歐洲天然氣庫存水準仍低於去年同期水準。歐洲天然氣基礎設施協會(Gas Infrastructure Europe)週五報告稱,截至目前庫存為32.49%,而去年同期為39.22%。 歐洲天然氣資源協會(CERA)分析師預測,在基本情境下,假設霍爾木茲海峽天然氣運輸於6月1日恢復正常,歐盟天然氣庫存到10月底可能達到80%左右。 CERA數據顯示,2月底衝突爆發時已在途貨物的支撐,歐盟3月液化天然氣進口量較去年同期略有成長。然而,這項緩衝作用此後逐漸消失,4月進口量較2025年水準下降約6.9%。 展望未來,歐洲極端天氣組織(Severe Weather Europe)週五表示,正在密切關注「超級厄爾尼諾」現象的潛在發展。其中一個可能的情況是,今年夏季中歐地區乾旱風險增加。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Cms Energy Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $1 to $87, 22.0x our next-12-month EPS estimate, above peers and CMS's three-year historical average of 18.4x. We trim both our 2026 and 2027 EPS views by $0.02 to $3.88 and $4.17, respectively. CMS posted Q1 adjusted EPS growth of 10.8%. CMS announced that two hyperscaler data centers had reached commercial agreement on contract terms and signed 110 MW of new load in Q1 alone (exceeding all of 2025's signings), with expected load coming online starting in 2028, all incremental to the current plan. Each 1 GW of new load provides $2B-$5B in capital investment opportunities while reducing average customer rate growth by ~2%. We think CMS offers competitive near-term EPS (~7.6% 2025-2028 CAGR) and dividend growth trajectories (~5.8%). In our view, Michigan is one of the most supportive regulatory districts in the country, with CMS's most recent electric rate case outcome highlighting regulatory willingness to support prudent investments through multiple recovery mechanisms.

Life Time Set for Strong Q1 Comparable Club Growth, UBS Says
Life Time (LTH) is expected to post robust comparable club growth in Q1, with slightly better-than-expected revenue and EBITDA, as investors focus on concerns around member growth metrics per center and spending trends in a softer macro environment, UBS Securities said Friday.Ahead of the company's Q1 results on Tuesday, the investment firm said it sees upside to its Q1 EBITDA estimate of $215 million and expects comparable club revenue growth of about 7% to 7.5%.UBS said the key investor debate centers on whether the company can sustain growth in revenue per member and overall club economics amid pressure on consumer spending.The brokerage also noted that Life Time could continue repurchasing stock from sponsors, helping reduce overhang, while keeping leverage below its 2x target.UBS has a buy rating on the stock, with a price target of $43.Price: $26.68, Change: $-0.13, Percent Change: -0.50%
