美国原油期货价格有望录得周线下跌

-- 周五油价有所回落,尽管美伊停火协议开局不利,但有效降低了地缘政治风险溢价,油价仍有望录得周线跌幅。 近月西德克萨斯中质原油期货合约下跌0.5%,至每桶97.41美元。布伦特原油期货下跌0.5%,至每桶65.98美元。 两份合约的周跌幅均约为12%。 盛宝银行分析师表示:“原油价格在经历了自去年6月以来最大单周跌幅后,试图稳定在每桶100美元以下,但仍受到围绕拟议和平计划的复杂信号、沙特阿拉伯减产约60万桶/日以及自2月底以来霍尔木兹海峡实际关闭等因素的支撑。” 沙特通讯社4月9日的一篇新闻报道援引能源部的消息称,东西输油管道上的一个泵站“近日”遭到袭击,导致约70万桶原油输送量损失。 报道并未提及袭击的来源,但一位消息人士周三告诉路透社,袭击来自伊朗,自霍尔木兹海峡关闭以来,这破坏了沙特阿拉伯通往出口市场的主要替代通道。 盛宝银行补充道:“与此同时,布伦特原油现货交易价格继续以显著溢价结算,凸显了炼油商争相弥补中东原油供应中断带来的日益严峻的供应压力。” 停火协议宣布后,6月布伦特原油期货价格已跌破每桶100美元。然而,以即期交割的全球基准布伦特原油期货价格计算的已在海上运输的原油价格仍坚挺在每桶120美元以上。 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周四发出警告,此前有报道称,德黑兰已开始向试图离开霍尔木兹海峡的油轮收取过境费。尽管已达成停火协议,但通过这条重要水道的航运仍然受到限制。 特朗普在Truth Social社交媒体账号上发帖称:“有报道称,伊朗正在向通过霍尔木兹海峡的油轮收取费用。他们最好不要这样做,如果他们真的在这样做,最好立即停止!” 根据TRM Labs周四发布的报告,伊朗新的收费框架要求每艘船支付高达200万美元的费用,可以用加密货币或人民币支付,预计每天将为德黑兰带来2000万美元的收入。 俄罗斯塔斯社援引一位伊朗高级消息人士的话报道称,伊朗将继续限制船舶通行,进一步收紧了限制。 据报道,该消息人士称,根据目前的停火协议,每天将只允许“不到15艘船”通过霍尔木兹海峡。 现在所有人的目光都集中在本周末美国代表团与伊朗官员之间举行的高风险会谈上。

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.

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.
