现货油价拒绝跟随期货价格下跌,供应现实与市场预期背道而驰。

-- 市场专家表示,美伊之间为期两周的停火或许抑制了投机者的上涨风险,但对于争相获取原油的炼油商而言,危机远未结束。 停火消息公布后,6月布伦特原油期货价格已回落至每桶100美元以下。然而,作为即期交割的全球基准原油——布伦特原油期货价格,依然坚守在每桶120美元上方。 这超过20美元的溢价揭示了全球对原油的疯狂争夺,而金融模型未能预测到这一点。ICIS大宗商品分析师大卫·乔贝纳兹表示:“问题从来不在于产量,而在于交付能力。” 乔贝纳兹补充道,由于炼油和石化装置需要三到六个月的时间才能安全恢复生产,因此即使原油开始流通,全球下游供应系统仍将长期处于紧张状态。 尽管外交上取得了突破,但船东们仍然受到战争风险保险费、油轮周转中断以及伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡征收过境费的持续威胁的困扰。 专家警告称,市场无法简单地通过简单的操作恢复供应。 商品和碳研究主管罗伯特·伦尼表示,虽然言辞有所缓和,但实物供应系统仍然“严重受损”,导致市场出现大规模混乱,北海福蒂斯原油等原油价格一度高达每桶147美元。 即使停火协议得以维持,澳新银行分析师预计,短期内原油日产量仅能恢复200万至300万桶,而且由于基础设施受损,日产量可能永久性损失100万至200万桶的风险依然存在。 ICIS炼油和基础油分析主管迈克尔·康诺利指出,虽然局势缓和提振了市场情绪,但基本面并未恢复正常。他补充道:“市场恢复正常取决于原油价格的波动,而不是公告的发布。” 目前的价格差异凸显了远期曲线的根本性缺陷。Aegis Hedging 总裁 Matt Marshall 指出,金融模型往往低估了由强烈的购买需求造成的“实物挤压”。 Marshall 还指出,对于那些急需填补短期生产计划空缺的炼油商而言,这场危机远未结束。

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.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. 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.
