美伊談判前景不明朗,華爾街股市連續下跌

-- 週三,華爾街股市連續第二個交易日下跌,因為市場對美伊新一輪談判前景存疑。 美國三大股指均下跌0.6%,標普500指數收在7064點,那斯達克指數收在24260點,道瓊工業指數收在49149.4點。除能源板塊外,所有板塊均下跌,其中房地產板塊跌幅最大。 收盤後不久,美國總統川普宣布延長與伊朗達成的為期兩週的停火協議,但他同時表示,對伊朗港口的海上封鎖將持續。該停火協議於4月7日宣布。 川普在Truth Social上發文稱,巴基斯坦總理謝赫巴茲·謝里夫和陸軍元帥阿西姆·穆尼爾要求延長停火協議。 根據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)週二報道,對關鍵的霍爾木茲海峽的封鎖加劇了華盛頓和伊朗之間第二輪會談的不確定性,此次會談很可能在巴基斯坦舉行。據報道,由於伊朗不願參與和平談判,美國副總統萬斯前往伊斯蘭堡的計畫已被擱置。 西德州中質原油價格上漲1.7%,至每桶88.90美元;布蘭特原油價格上漲3.5%,至每桶98.82美元。 美國公債殖利率走高,10年期公債殖利率上漲4.5個基點至4.30%,2年期公債殖利率上漲6.5個基點至3.79%。 同時,根據美國消費者新聞與商業頻道(CNBC)報道,凱文沃什表示,在他的領導下,聯準會將獨立於白宮。他是在參議院銀行委員會的確認聽證會上發表上述的言論。沃什是川普提名的聯準會主席人選。 經濟新聞方面,官方數據顯示,受中東衝突推高能源價格的影響,美國零售銷售額上月創下自2025年3月以來的最大增幅,主要原因是加油站消費激增。 傑富瑞在一份報告中指出:“我們預計,由於汽油價格上漲和汽車銷量回升,整體數據會非常亮眼,但其他類別的強勁表現卻出乎意料。目前還沒有證據表明,汽油價格上漲促使消費者在其他方面勒緊褲腰帶。” 美國全國房地產經紀人協會的數據顯示,儘管抵押貸款利率上升,但3月美國待售房屋銷售量仍超出預期。 公司新聞方面,蘋果(AAPL)股價下跌2.5%,成為道瓊指數中表現最差的股票之一。這家iPhone製造商週一晚間宣布,蒂姆·庫克將卸任執行長一職,並轉任執行董事長,硬體工程資深人士約翰·特納斯將接任執行長。 Tractor Supply (TSCO) 股價暴跌近 12%,成為標普 500 指數中跌幅最大的股票。這家零售商第一季業績不如華爾街預期,寵物用品業務表現低於平均水準。 聯合健康集團 (UNH) 上調了全年盈利預期,這家健康保險巨頭第一季業績意外實現年度增長。該公司股價上漲 7%,成為道瓊指數中漲幅最大的股票,也是標普 500 指數中表現最佳的股票之一。 D.R. Horton (DHI) 第二財季業績好於預期,但這家房屋建築商下調了全年營收預期。該公司股價上漲5.8%,是標普500指數中漲幅最大的股票之一。 黃金價格下跌2.1%,至每盎司4,726.10美元;白銀價格下跌4.4%,至每盎司76.53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.
