随着美国封锁伊朗港口的最后期限过去,油价上涨至每桶100美元以上。

-- 周一,随着美国对伊朗港口周边海域实施海上封锁的最后期限到来,油价突破每桶100美元。 西德克萨斯中质原油上涨5.9%,至每桶102.27美元,盘中一度触及每桶105.62美元的高位。布伦特原油上涨6%,至每桶100.95美元,盘中一度升至每桶103.87美元。 根据美国中央司令部(CENTCOM)周日发布的声明,对进出伊朗港口的海上交通的封锁将于美国东部时间周一上午10点开始。 声明称:“封锁将对所有进出伊朗港口和沿海地区的船只一视同仁地执行,包括所有位于阿拉伯湾和阿曼湾的伊朗港口。中央司令部部队不会阻碍往返非伊朗港口的船只通过霍尔木兹海峡的航行自由。” 据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)周一报道,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队誓言将进行报复。 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周日在社交媒体上发文称,美国海军将阻止“任何试图进出霍尔木兹海峡的船只”,霍尔木兹海峡是全球原油运输最重要的咽喉要道。 加拿大皇家银行资本市场全球大宗商品策略及中东和北非研究主管海莉玛·克罗夫特(Helima Croft)周一在一份发给的报告中表示:“美伊之间高风险的谈判再次因华盛顿坚持伊朗不进行铀浓缩的要求而陷入僵局,这为持续六周的战争进一步升级以及夏季驾车高峰期到来前供应长期中断埋下了伏笔。” 据《华尔街日报》援引知情人士报道,特朗普正在考虑在和平谈判失败后对伊朗进行有限的打击。 据媒体报道,都铎·皮克林·霍尔特公司在一份报告中指出,除了铀浓缩问题外,伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的控制权也是美伊双方棘手的问题之一。 都铎·皮克林·霍尔特公司分析师马特·波蒂略在发给的报告中表示:“美国似乎拒绝承认伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的主权(包括收取通行费),而伊朗则认为海峡的重新开放取决于最终协议的达成。”

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 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.
