-- 美國股市投資人將關注中東日益加劇的地緣政治風險,同時密切關注第一季財報和零售銷售數據。 * 據多家媒體報道,美國海軍在阿曼灣扣押了一艘伊朗貨船後,伊朗誓言進行報復,此舉危及原定於本週在巴基斯坦舉行的第二輪談判,該談判旨在為德黑蘭尋求持久和平的解決方案。 * 根據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)報道,美國副總統萬斯和多位高級官員原計劃前往伊斯蘭堡,但伊朗外交部堅稱沒有會談計劃。美伊雙方互相指責對方違反的停火協議將於週三到期。 * 先前,由於市場樂觀認為伊朗和平協議無需延長為期兩週的停火協議即可達成,標普500指數、納斯達克綜合指數和道瓊工業平均指數期貨在上週五創下新高。但周一早盤,由於擔心中東戰爭升級,這些指數期貨大幅下跌。 * 西德州中質原油期貨價格飆漲7.2%,至每桶89.92美元;布蘭特原油期貨價格在盤前交易上漲6.3%,至每桶96.10美元。受原油價格高企可能對通膨造成的影響,黃金期貨價格下跌1.5%,至每盎司4,808.8美元;白銀期貨價格下跌3%,至每盎司79.37美元。同樣,多數美國公債殖利率上升,其中10年期公債殖利率上漲2.2個基點至4.27%,2年期公債殖利率上漲3.5個基點至3.74%。 * 本週季財報的焦點將是特斯拉(TSLA)以及一些科技公司,例如英特爾(INTC)、IBM(IBM)、Lam Research(LRCX)、德州儀器(TXN)和SAP(SAP)。預計本週將公佈財報的其他大型公司包括美國運通 (AXP)、通用電氣Vernova (GEV)、波音 (BA) 和聯合健康 (UNH)。 * 在美國宏觀經濟數據方面,投資人將關注零售銷售、標普全球製造業和服務業採購經理人指數 (PMI)、ADP就業人數變化、首次申請失業救濟人數以及密西根州消費者信心指數的最終數據,同時也將關注密西根州未來一年和五年的通膨預期。

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 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.
