生物燃料最新动态:原料期货因获利回吐而下跌

-- 周四,主要生物燃料原料期货价格因获利回吐而走低,抵消了原油价格上涨和天气相关供应风险带来的提振作用。 芝加哥期货交易所5月大豆期货合约下跌0.24%,至每蒲式耳11.62美元。5月豆油期货合约下跌0.54%,至每磅71.29美分。 据AgWeb援引Cornbelt Marketing的Sam Hudson称,大豆价格近期触及图表阻力位,引发获利回吐。 同样被该农业新闻机构援引的Total Farm Marketing的Bryan Doherty表示,需要强劲的市场催化剂才能突破这一阻力位。近期生物燃料需求增长带来的豆油价格走强可能不足以支撑这一突破,因为出口放缓带来了下行压力。 截至4月16日当周,豆油出口量预计净减少1万吨至净出口1.4万吨,而大豆出口量预计在20万吨至60万吨之间。行业数据将于周四公布。 中国可能带来额外的出口需求,市场参与者正密切关注5月中旬的特朗普-习近平峰会。 然而,据ADM报道,持续的美伊冲突可能会使美中贸易关系复杂化,并可能促使中国转向巴西和阿根廷进口大豆。路易达孚首席风险官Vijay Chakravarthy表示。 供应方面,降雨可能会减缓美国的播种速度,从而为价格提供一定支撑。 周四,马来西亚棕榈油期货价格从近两周高位回落,交易员获利了结,疲软的出口抵消了厄尔尼诺现象导致供应趋紧的预期。 马来西亚衍生品交易所5月原棕榈油合约结束了连续三个交易日的上涨势头,下跌约1%,至每吨4,505马来西亚林吉特(1,135.91美元)。6月合约也下跌了相同的幅度,至每吨4,552林吉特。 本周迄今为止,这两个合约均上涨了2.7%至2.9%,扭转了此前连续两周的跌势。 尽管原油价格上涨且当地货币走软,但棕榈油价格周四仍出现下跌。 本月出口需求疲软,据报道,货运调查员预计,4月前20天马来西亚的棕榈油出货量将环比下降25.6%至25.8%,主要原因是中东地区的需求下降。 尽管如此,东南亚生产商在经济状况改善的背景下,为满足国内市场需求,并应对持续的供应链中断,扩大生物燃料的使用,将支撑棕榈油价格的未来走势。 印尼、马来西亚和泰国生物柴油项目的推进,以及厄尔尼诺现象对棕榈油产量的潜在影响,将导致供应趋紧。 据价格报告机构MySteel称,由于市场正在关注极端天气条件对棕榈油生产的影响,“价格仍有上涨空间”。 据《马来西亚边缘报》报道,BMI Research表示,对厄尔尼诺现象的担忧将成为未来棕榈油价格的支撑因素,并缓解地缘政治风险溢价下降带来的价格下跌。 据报道,BMI Research预计,短期内美伊冲突的发展将继续影响市场趋势,假设中东冲突缓和,棕榈油价格可能在第二季度跌至每吨4200林吉特左右。 印度溶剂萃取协会执行董事B.V. Mehta表示,从长远来看,“生物柴油扩张、天气风险和地缘政治的相互作用,将导致2026-27财年全球棕榈油供需更加紧张。” 在美国,纽约商品交易所(NYMEX)5月交割的乙醇期货价格周三连续第三个交易日上涨,涨幅1.05%,至每加仑1.92美元,主要受产量下降和出口走强的影响。 美国能源信息署(EIA)发布的数据显示,截至4月17日当周,美国乙醇日产量降至100万桶,低于前一周的110万桶。 农业数据提供商DTN表示,产量下降是由于正值种植淡季,并补充说,本季产量仍增长2%,利润率依然强劲。 数据显示,原油出口量环比增长,从8.1万桶/日增至9.1万桶/日。 然而,原油库存从2670万桶增至2690万桶。

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.
