美國原油期貨價格可望錄得週線下跌

-- 週五油價有所回落,儘管美伊停火協議開局不利,但有效降低了地緣政治風險溢價,油價仍有望錄得週線跌幅。 近月西德州中質原油期貨合約下跌0.5%,至每桶97.41美元。布蘭特原油期貨下跌0.5%,至每桶65.98美元。 兩份合約的周跌幅均約為12%。 盛寶銀行分析師表示:「原油價格在經歷了自去年6月以來最大單週跌幅後,試圖穩定在每桶100美元以下,但仍受到圍繞擬議和平計劃的複雜信號、沙特阿拉伯減產約60萬桶/日以及自2月底以來霍爾木茲海峽實際關閉等因素的支撐。」 沙烏地阿拉伯通訊社4月9日的一篇新聞報導引述能源部的消息稱,東西輸油管上的一個泵站「近日」遭到攻擊,導致約70萬桶原油輸送量損失。 報告並未提及襲擊的來源,但一位消息人士週三告訴路透社,襲擊來自伊朗,自霍爾木茲海峽關閉以來,這破壞了沙烏地阿拉伯通往出口市場的主要替代通道。 盛寶銀行補充道:“與此同時,布蘭特原油現貨交易價格繼續以顯著溢價結算,凸顯了煉油商爭相彌補中東原油供應中斷帶來的日益嚴峻的供應壓力。” 停火協議宣布後,6月布蘭特原油期貨價格已跌破每桶100美元。然而,以即期交割的全球基準布蘭特原油期貨價格計算的已在海上運輸的原油價格仍堅挺在每桶120美元以上。 美國總統川普週四發出警告,此前有報道稱,德黑蘭已開始向試圖離開霍爾木茲海峽的油輪收取過境費。儘管已達成停火協議,但通過這條重要水道的航運仍受到限制。 川普在Truth Social社交媒體帳號上發文表示:“有報道稱,伊朗正在向通過霍爾木茲海峽的油輪收取費用。他們最好不要這樣做,如果他們真的在這樣做,最好立即停止!” 根據TRM Labs週四發布的報告,伊朗新的收費框架要求每艘船支付高達200萬美元的費用,可以用加密貨幣或人民幣支付,預計每天將為德黑蘭帶來2000萬美元的收入。 俄羅斯塔斯社引述一位伊朗高級消息人士的話報導,伊朗將繼續限制船舶通行,進一步收緊了限制。 據報道,該消息人士稱,根據目前的停火協議,每天將只允許「不到15艘船」通過霍爾木茲海峽。 現在所有人的目光都集中在本週末美國代表團與伊朗官員之間舉行的高風險會談。

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.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $8 to $155, valuing HIG shares at 11.3x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $13.75 (cut by $0.45) and at 10.6x our 2027 EPS estimate of $14.65 (cut by $0.30), vs. the shares' one-year average forward multiple of 10.3x and peer average of 13x. Q1 EPS of $3.09 vs. $2.20 a year ago missed our $3.60 estimate and $3.39 consensus view. Operating revenue growth of 6.2% was in line with our 6%-10% forecast, amid 5.3% earned premium growth, 13% higher net investment income, and 7.9% fee revenue growth. Q1 written premium growth of 4% and full-year 2025 growth of 7% bode well for 2026 revenue trends as premiums are earned. Underwriting results improved significantly, with Personal Lines combined ratio improving to 87.7% from 106.1% and underlying combined ratio to 85.0% from 89.7%. Business Insurance combined ratio was stable at 94.8%. Weighing the Q1 EPS miss with HIG's decent top-line growth and discounted valuation to peers, we view the shares as undervalued.
