-- 週三午盤交易中,美國股市漲跌互現,投資人正在權衡美國總統川普試圖淡化伊朗戰爭可能持續的可能性。 那斯達克指數上漲0.8%,至23,836.9點;標普500指數上漲0.3%,至6,990.45點。然而,道瓊工業指數下跌0.4%,至48,346.9點。標普500指數一度逼近7,002.28點的歷史高點。 科技、非必需消費品、通訊服務和金融板塊領漲。工業和原料板塊領跌。 根據路透社報道,川普表示,與伊朗的戰爭即將結束,並告訴全世界要為「神奇的兩天」做好準備。同時,作為調解方的巴基斯坦陸軍參謀長抵達德黑蘭,試圖阻止衝突再次爆發。巴基斯坦軍方證實,陸軍元帥阿西姆·穆尼爾已抵達德黑蘭。一位伊朗高級消息人士告訴路透社,穆尼爾曾斡旋上一輪會談,這次前往伊朗是為了「縮小」雙方之間的分歧。 同時,根據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)報道,美國中央司令部稱,封鎖伊朗港口已「完全停止」德黑蘭的海上貿易,伊朗軍方威脅稱,如果美國繼續封鎖伊朗港口,伊朗將封鎖紅海航運。 西德州中質原油期貨上漲0.6%至每桶91.86美元,布蘭特原油期貨上漲0.9%至每桶95.69美元,均低於當日高點。 麥格理集團全球外匯及利率策略師蒂埃里·維茲曼在一份報告中指出:“總而言之,儘管市場自上週以來有所反彈,但目前的停火協議仍然脆弱。” “目前,石油運輸已經中斷。如果核問題無法達成協議,敵對行動可能會重啟,包括在紅海地區。” 由於原油期貨價格高企,可能推高通膨,多數美國公債殖利率上漲,其中10年期公債殖利率上漲2.7個基點至4.28%,2年期公債殖利率上漲1.9個基點至3.77%。 貴金屬方面,黃金期貨下跌0.5%至每盎司4,826.60美元,白銀期貨下跌0.2%至每盎司79.42美元。 公司方面,摩根士丹利(MS)公佈的第一季業績強於預期,投資銀行和交易業務的強勁成長推動營收創下歷史新高。 特斯拉(TSLA)執行長馬斯克週三在特斯拉X頻道表示,特斯拉已完成AI5晶片的流片,並正在推進AI6和Dojo3的研發。晶片流片標誌著晶片送往生產前的最終設計階段。這家電動車製造商的股價盤中飆漲6.3%,成為標普500指數和那斯達克指數中漲幅最大的股票之一。 經濟新聞方面,紐約聯邦儲備銀行公佈的紐約州製造業指數從3月的-0.2反彈至4月的11.0,高於彭博社總合調查中預期的0.0。紐約州製造業指數是4月的首個製造業板塊數據,顯示製造業正在恢復擴張。 全美住宅建築商協會公佈的4月份月度房屋市場指數從3月修正後的38降至34,低於彭博社總合調查中預期的37。該指數一年前低於40,目前為2025年9月以來的最低水準。

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.

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.
