-- (価格更新) 金価格は木曜午後、原油・天然ガス価格の高騰がインフレと金利上昇の懸念材料となる中、5,000ドルを下回るレンジ相場で推移した。 5月渡しの金先物価格は、1オンスあたり15.40ドル安の4,808.20ドルで取引されている。 金価格は、1月29日に記録した過去最高値5,354.80ドルを大きく下回ったまま推移している。これは、米イスラエルによるイランとの戦争によりホルムズ海峡が封鎖され、ペルシャ湾岸諸国からの原油・液化天然ガス(LNG)需要の20%が市場から遮断されているため、価格が上昇し、インフレ再燃の懸念が高まっていることが背景にある。 トランプ米大統領が、5月15日の任期満了後もジェローム・パウエル連邦準備制度理事会(FRB)議長が留任すれば解任すると脅迫したことも、市場を再び不安にさせている。パウエル議長は、後任のケビン・ウォーシュ氏が上院で承認されるまで議長職にとどまる意向だ。トランプ大統領は、パウエル議長が任期を過ぎても議長職にとどまるなら解任を試みると述べた。 「多くの市場、金市場も含め、不確実な雰囲気が漂っている。未解決の戦争と不安定な停戦状態の中、依然として懸念すべきインフレ圧力は大きい。さらに、トランプ大統領が再びパウエル議長の解任について言及したことで、金価格上昇の兆しが見え始めている」と、RBCキャピタル・マーケッツの金・天然ガス戦略担当者、クリストファー・ルーニー氏は記した。 ドルは上昇し、ICEドル指数は0.22ポイント高の98.27となった。米国債利回りも上昇し、2年債利回りは1.0ベーシスポイント上昇の3.78%、10年債利回りは2.3ベーシスポイント低下の4.311%となった。
