中东停火协议前景不明朗,德国蓝筹股DAX指数回落

By

-- 周四,受美伊停火谈判破裂的担忧影响,德国蓝筹股DAX指数逆转早盘涨幅,收跌1.14%。 由于以色列在黎巴嫩持续的军事行动令地区稳定紧张,霍尔木兹海峡的航运仍然瘫痪。对此,德黑兰威胁要放弃与华盛顿刚刚达成的停火协议,而美国总统特朗普则警告称,如果无法达成全面协议,将再次升级军事冲突。 在国内,德国联邦统计局(Destatis)公布的数据显示,2月份德国工业生产环比下降0.3%,低于1月份修正后的零增长,也低于市场预期的0.9%。同比来看,工业产出保持稳定,此前修正后的同比降幅为0.9%。 “今天早上公布的宏观经济数据是描绘中东战争爆发前德国经济状况的最后一批数据。数据显示,消费者非常犹豫不决,而制造业则难以获得积极的增长势头。目前唯一能让我们继续沿用‘番茄酱瓶’比喻的证据是昨天公布的工业订单数据,该数据证实国防工业的订单仍在持续增长。这至少在一定程度上支持了我们长期以来的观点,即财政刺激措施将越来越多地惠及实体经济,”荷兰国际集团(ING)表示。 与此同时,德国2月份经日历和季节性调整后的贸易顺差为198亿欧元,低于上月修正后的203亿欧元和预期的181亿欧元。据联邦统计局的数据,出口环比增长3.6%,高于此前修正后的1.5%的降幅和预期的1%的增长。月度进口量增长4.7%,高于此前修正后的5.1%的降幅,也高于市场预期的4%增幅。 公司新闻方面,梅赛德斯-奔驰集团(MBG.F)股价下跌2.02%,此前该公司公布第一季度交付量为499,700辆,同比下降6%。这家德国汽车制造商表示,业绩符合公司预期。 加拿大皇家银行资本市场将汉高(HEN.F)的调整后每股收益预期和目标股价从75欧元下调至73欧元,原因是担心执行风险可能会限制近期品牌收购带来的营收增长。 加拿大皇家银行(RBC)写道:“收购Not Your Mother's和OLAPLEX将填补汉高现有护发产品组合的空白,并使该公司成为消费者护发领域更具竞争力的品牌。如果执行得当,整合这些品牌有望在中期内为其护发业务带来50个基点的收入增长。然而,鉴于管理层面临诸多挑战,且大宗商品成本通胀同时加剧,我们不能忽视执行风险,因此持观望态度。”这家德国化工和消费品公司收盘上涨0.27%。

Crude Oil Prices Rise on Stalled U.S.-Iran Peace Talks

Crude oil prices rose on Monday as talks to end the war between the U.S. and Iran remain frozen and flows through the crucial Strait of Hormuz continue to be disrupted.Brent crude at last look gained 2.7% to US$108.17/barrel and West Texas Intermediate crude climbed 2.4% to $96.63/barrel. The U.S. and Iran appear to still be far apart on issues including Iran's nuclear ambitions and the reopening of the strait, Reuters said in a Monday report."The diplomatic stand-off means that every day 10-13 million barrels of oil fail to get to the international market, worsening an already tight oil balance. Therefore, there is only one direction for oil prices to go," Reuters quoted PVM Oil Associates analyst Tamas Varga as saying.Goldman Sachs raised its fourth-quarter oil price forecasts to $90/barrel for Brent and $83/barrel for WTI, citing reduced output from the Middle East, the report said.

Japan Resorts to More Coal, Nuclear During Energy Crisis Sidelines Renewables, Says IEEFA

Japan is leaning on higher nuclear output and ramping up use of coal in power generation as contingency measures in the face of the global energy crisis, but these measures are simultaneously smothering renewables, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis said on Monday.Temporary increased use of coal was decided upon to reduce the need for now-scarce LNG while the restart of some nuclear power plants is also providing additional resilience to supply shocks which have hit Asian nations hardest.IEEFA said this risks displacing domestic renewable energy which can supply just as much energy security but lower cost and it could also increase curtailment and undermine investment in more renewables, up-ending progress on decarbonization.Most of Japan's coal imports, about 71%, come from Australia, making it a safe option that reduces exposure to disrupted Middle Eastern logistics, the IEEFA report noted.But a shortage of diesel for plant operations at J-Power's Matsuura 2 gigawatt coal-fired power station slashed its output by 50% while the JFE Steel Fukuyama facility was halted over a shortage of heavy oil, underscoring that coal is not fully detached from oil and gas's geopolitical risk.Japan typically imports 4 million tons of LNG that pass through the Strait of Hormuz each year, representing about 6% of its total imports.As of March, 15 of Japan's 36 nuclear reactors were operating, as that sector recovers from the multiple impacts of the Fukushima disaster.They generate a combined 37 GW. Bringing the remainder online could cut Japan's LNG needs by 12.5 million tonnes, IEEFA said. Regulatory changes in early April were introduced, facilitating more restarts.Backing up its argument that more coal and nuclear, both less flexible power sources, could increase curtailment of renewables, IEEFA said that each nuclear restart in Japan has been followed by a reduction in renewables generation.Curtailments in Japan have risen to 1.9 terrawatt hours by 2023, up from 100 GWh in 2018. In the first half of 2025, curtailments were faster still at 1.7 terrawatt hours for a six-month period.The fact that output from coal and nuclear can not rapidly be increased or slowed means it can be difficult to make room for renewable supply on the grid when its output rises.IEEFA said that limitations in Japan's grid infrastructure is an additional constraint that limits absorption of renewable power and led to a situation in March where it curtailed renewables while importing power from abroad.IEEFA suggests that the addition of battery storage to the grid could go some way to boosting its flexibility.Curtailment of renewables output has another inherent problem in that it leads to a less favourable economic case for later additions of zero carbon generation capacity, the report said, all the more so because Japan does not compensate renewables suppliers for curtailments, a practice common in Europe.Developers are adding battery storage as a work-around to that, securing contracts that remunerate battery-discharged electricity instead of directly generated then consumed electricity.The addition of batteries adds to project costs however at a time when investor interest has yet to turn into large scale deployment, with erosion of revenue support measures a further deterrent, IEEFA said.
