隨著人們對美伊停火協議的樂觀情緒消退,油價反彈

-- 週四油價上漲,美國原油價格突破每桶100美元大關。儘管華盛頓和伊朗之間達成了為期兩週的停火協議,但霍爾木茲海峽的石油運輸活動仍受到限制。 西德州中質原油(WTI)週四最高觸及每桶102.70美元,最終上漲3.4%,每桶97.57美元。布蘭特原油上漲0.9%,至每桶95.61美元,盤中一度觸及每桶99.50美元。 此前,由於美國和伊朗同意暫時停止席捲中東的敵對行動,油價在前一交易日經歷了2020年以來最大單日跌幅。此次反彈正是在此背景下發生的。 作為停火協議的一部分,華盛頓要求立即開放霍爾木茲海峽,而德黑蘭則表示,在與伊朗當局協調的前提下,將允許「安全通行」通過這一關鍵水道。 阿布達比國家石油公司執行長蘇爾坦·賈貝爾週四在領英上發文稱,霍爾木茲海峽的通行仍受到限制。 賈貝爾同時擔任阿聯酋工業和先進技術部長,他表示:“霍爾木茲海峽並未開放。通行受到限制、附加條件和管控。” 伊朗國家媒體先前報導稱,在以色列襲擊黎巴嫩後,通過霍爾木茲海峽的通行已被暫停。根據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)週四報道,以色列總理內塔尼亞胡表示,以色列將與黎巴嫩就真主黨解除武裝進行談判。 同時,加拿大皇家銀行資本市場週四在發給的報告中指出,儘管達成了停火協議,但包括阿聯酋在內的海灣國家仍持續遭受攻擊。 加拿大皇家銀行全球大宗商品策略主管赫利瑪·克羅夫特表示:“鑑於伊朗堅持要求船隻必須與其軍方協調,否則將面臨摧毀,我們仍然認為通過該水道的實際通行量將大幅下降。” 預計華盛頓和德黑蘭的官員將於本週末在巴基斯坦舉行會晤,巴基斯坦曾協助促成停火協議。 昨晚,唐納德·特朗普總統在Truth Social網站上發文稱,美國船、飛機和軍事人員將繼續駐紮在伊朗及其周邊地區,直到「達成的真正協議得到全面遵守」。 荷蘭國際集團(ING Bank)在一份報告中指出:“由於短期內不太可能完全重新開放海峽,預計油價將繼續得到支撐,因為與減產和煉油廠停工相關的干擾需要時間才能消除。”

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.
