随着人们对美伊停火协议的乐观情绪消退,油价反弹

-- 周四油价上涨,美国原油价格突破每桶100美元大关。尽管华盛顿和伊朗之间达成了为期两周的停火协议,但霍尔木兹海峡的石油运输活动仍然受到限制。 西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)周四最高触及每桶102.70美元,最终上涨3.4%,报每桶97.57美元。布伦特原油上涨0.9%,至每桶95.61美元,盘中一度触及每桶99.50美元。 此前,由于美国和伊朗同意暂时停止席卷中东的敌对行动,油价在前一交易日经历了2020年以来最大单日跌幅。此次反弹正是在此背景下发生的。 作为停火协议的一部分,华盛顿要求立即开放霍尔木兹海峡,而德黑兰则表示,在与伊朗当局协调的前提下,将允许“安全通行”通过这一关键水道。 阿布扎比国家石油公司首席执行官苏尔坦·贾贝尔周四在领英上发文称,霍尔木兹海峡的通行仍然受到限制。 贾贝尔同时担任阿联酋工业和先进技术部长,他表示:“霍尔木兹海峡并未开放。通行受到限制、附加条件和管控。” 伊朗国家媒体此前报道称,在以色列袭击黎巴嫩后,通过霍尔木兹海峡的通行已被暂停。据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)周四报道,以色列总理内塔尼亚胡表示,以色列将与黎巴嫩就真主党解除武装进行谈判。 与此同时,加拿大皇家银行资本市场周四在一份发给的报告中指出,尽管达成了停火协议,但包括阿联酋在内的海湾国家仍持续遭受袭击。 加拿大皇家银行全球大宗商品策略主管赫利玛·克罗夫特表示:“鉴于伊朗坚持要求船只必须与其军方协调,否则将面临摧毁,我们仍然认为通过该水道的实际通行量将大幅下降。” 预计华盛顿和德黑兰的官员将于本周末在巴基斯坦举行会晤,巴基斯坦曾协助促成停火协议。 昨晚,唐纳德·特朗普总统在Truth Social网站上发帖称,美国舰船、飞机和军事人员将继续驻扎在伊朗及其周边地区,直到“达成的真正协议得到全面遵守”。 荷兰国际集团(ING Bank)在一份报告中指出:“由于短期内不太可能完全重新开放海峡,预计油价将继续得到支撑,因为与减产和炼油厂停工相关的干扰需要时间才能消除。”

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.
