由於伊朗和平談判陷入僵局,美國股指從歷史高點回落。

-- 美國股指下跌,原油期貨上漲,因中東地區正進行高風險的外交斡旋,促使伊朗重返巴基斯坦談判桌,舉行第二輪和平談判。 那斯達克指數下跌0.6%,收24,308.2點;標普500指數下跌0.4%,收在7,100.3點。此前,由於美國總統川普上週表示在當前為期兩週的停火協議於週二結束前達成伊朗和平協議的可能性很大,納斯達克綜合指數一度創下歷史新高。道瓊工業指數下跌0.3%,收在49284.5點。 非必需消費品、通訊服務及科技板塊領跌盤中。能源和原料板塊漲幅居前。 西德州中質原油期貨上漲5.1%,至每桶88.16美元;布蘭特原油期貨上漲5%,至每桶94.91美元。 根據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)週一援引消息人士報道,副總統萬斯和美國高級官員預計將於週二啟程前往巴基斯坦伊斯蘭堡,為可能舉行的第二輪與伊朗的會談做準備。一位伊朗高級官員週一告訴路透社,伊朗正在考慮和平談判。此前,伊斯蘭堡方面採取措施結束了美國對德黑蘭港口的封鎖,這對於面臨大規模襲擊威脅的伊朗而言,是其重返和平進程的一大障礙。 根據彭博社報道,川普表示,如果在停火結束前未能達成協議,他「極不可能」延長與伊朗為期兩週的停火,並表示霍爾木茲海峽將繼續保持封鎖狀態,直到達成最終協議。美國總統在周一的電話採訪中表示,與伊朗的第二輪會談定於週二開始。

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.
