纳斯达克和标普500指数延续上涨势头,休战协议依然有效

-- 由于美伊之间为期两周的停火协议似乎仍在按计划进行,纳斯达克综合指数和标普500指数连续第七个交易日上涨。 纳斯达克综合指数收盘上涨0.8%,报22,822.4点,创下自2月26日以来的最高收盘价——两天后,美以对伊战争爆发。标普500指数上涨0.6%,报6,824.7点。 道琼斯工业平均指数上涨0.6%,收于48,185.8点,连续第二个交易日走高。 除能源和医疗保健板块外,所有板块均上涨,其中非必需消费品板块领涨,涨幅达2.5%。 预计华盛顿和德黑兰的官员将于本周末在巴基斯坦举行会晤,巴基斯坦曾协助促成停火协议。 据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)周四报道,以色列总理内塔尼亚胡表示,以色列将与黎巴嫩就真主党解除武装进行谈判。伊朗国家媒体此前报道称,在以色列袭击黎巴嫩后,霍尔木兹海峡的通行中断。 油价大幅上涨,西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)上涨4.9%,至每桶99.06美元。由于霍尔木兹海峡的运输活动仍然受限,该基准原油价格早盘一度触及每桶102.70美元。布伦特原油上涨2.4%,至每桶96.99美元。 油价反弹之前,在停火声明宣布后,油价在前一交易日经历了自2020年以来最大的单日跌幅。 荷兰国际集团(ING Bank)在一份报告中表示:“由于霍尔木兹海峡短期内不太可能完全重新开放,预计油价将继续得到支撑,因为与减产和炼油厂停产相关的干扰需要时间才能消除。” 美国国债收益率走低,10年期国债收益率下跌1.5个基点至4.29%,2年期国债收益率下跌2.1个基点至3.77%。 经济方面,2月份美国通胀环比加速,实际消费者支出小幅走高。分析师预计,受中东冲突溢出效应的影响,物价压力将进一步加剧。 美联储首选的通胀指标——剔除食品和能源价格——环比上涨0.4%,与1月份持平。年化增速从3.1%放缓至3%。彭博社汇总的调查显示,所有通胀数据均符合预期。 BMO资本市场在一份报告中指出:“鉴于整体通胀率可能很快将测试4%,美联储近期放松货币政策的可能性不大。” 美国经济分析局周四公布的第三次预估值显示,受消费支出增速放缓的影响,美国经济第四季度增速低于此前预期。 牛津经济研究院首席美国经济学家迈克尔·皮尔斯在发给的电子邮件中表示:“第四季度GDP的下调并非重大隐患,因为其主要原因是库存波动较大。国内总收入(更能反映经济活动的基本面)和私营企业国内生产总值显示,去年底美国经济核心仍在健康增长。” 公司方面,CoreWeave (CRWV) 同意向 Meta Platforms (META) 提供人工智能云容量,双方达成一项价值210亿美元的协议。由于市场对支持人工智能工作负载的基础设施需求强劲,两家公司扩大了合作关系。CoreWeave 股价上涨3.5%,Meta Platforms 股价上涨2.6%。 Ares Management (ARES) 同意以约 17 亿美元的全现金交易收购并私有化 Whitestone REIT (WSR)。Whitestone 股价飙升近 12%,而 Ares 股价基本持平。 据《华尔街日报》周四援引知情人士报道,在与法国烈酒公司保乐力加 (Pernod Ricard) 进行持续磋商的同时,Sazerac 也曾就潜在交易与 Brown-Forman (BF.A, BF.B) 接洽。该公司 B 类股飙升近 13%,成为标普 500 指数中涨幅最大的股票,其 A 类股也上涨了 11%。 雪佛龙 (CVX) 表示,预计受中东冲突影响,大宗商品价格上涨将使其上游业务第一季度盈利增加至多 22 亿美元,但时间因素可能会对这家石油巨头的最终利润造成压力。该公司股价下跌 1.3%,成为道琼斯指数中表现最差的股票之一。 黄金价格最新上涨0.4%,至每盎司4795.80美元,而白银价格上涨0.6%,至每盎司76.84美元。

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.
