-- 在川普總統宣布封鎖霍爾木茲海峽後，美國股市投資人將關注第一季財報以及伊朗戰爭的最新進展。此前，在巴基斯坦舉行的伊朗和平談判無果。 * 第一季財報季將於本周正式拉開序幕，摩根大通 (JPM)、美國銀行 (BAC)、花旗集團 (C)、摩根士丹利 (MS) 和高盛 (GS) 等大型銀行將陸續發布季度業績。 * 根據《華爾街日報》週一援引官員和知情人士報道，川普及其顧問正在考慮在封鎖之外，恢復對伊朗的有限軍事打擊，以此打破和平談判的僵局。 * 《華爾街日報》的另一篇報道稱，封鎖措施的宣布可能會使美軍陷入一場曠日持久的爭奪，以控制這一戰略要道，同時加劇衝突造成的全球經濟損失。 * 週一早盤，西德州中質原油期貨價格飆漲8%，至每桶104.59美元；布蘭特原油期貨價格也大幅上漲7.8%，至每桶102.95美元。美國公債殖利率也隨之上升，10年期公債殖利率上漲1.8個基點至4.34%，2年期公債殖利率上漲2.1個基點至3.82%。 ICE美元指數上漲0.3%，至98.99，反映美元兌全球主要貨幣的強勢。 * 川普確認美國將於週一上午10點（美國東部時間）起對進出伊朗港口的船隻實施封鎖後，伊朗表示，如果其港口受到威脅，波斯灣和阿曼海的任何港口都將不再安全。 * 本周公布的宏觀經濟數據包括生產者物價指數、成屋銷售、ADP就業人數變動和首次申請失業救濟人數。 * 聯準會理事克里斯多福·沃勒和米歇爾·W·鮑曼，以及紐約聯邦儲備銀行主席約翰·威廉斯，都是本週將要發表意見的眾多央行官員之一。

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.
