IMFと世界銀行が戦争による経済的打撃が過小評価されていると指摘、日本株は寄り付きで下落

-- 国際通貨基金(IMF)と世界銀行の当局者が、金融市場が戦争による経済的打撃を十分に反映できていない可能性があると警告したことを受け、日本の株式市場は金曜日に下落して取引を開始した。

日経平均株価は寄り付きで263.3円(0.4%)安の5万9255.09円となった。

来週の停戦期限を前に、イランとの恒久的な停戦合意に楽観的な見方を示したドナルド・トランプ米大統領の発言に対し、一連の警告が影を落とした。

複数のメディア報道によると、トランプ大統領はヒズボラに言及することなく、イスラエルとレバノン間の10日間の停戦を発表し、イスラエルのベンヤミン・ネタニヤフ首相はこの合意に同意したことを確認した。

市場の不安をさらに募らせる中、ヘンリー・ポールソン元財務長官が、31兆ドル規模の米国債市場で需要が急減する可能性に備え、米当局に対し緊急対応策を策定するよう求めたと、ブルームバーグニュースが金曜日に報じた。

Evolution Mining Shows Ability to Translate Gold Fundamentals to Cash Generation, Jefferies Says

Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) exhibited a potent ability to translate current gold fundamentals through to cash generation even as it posted a resounding miss to fiscal third-quarter metrics, Jefferies said in a Thursday note.The company's operational issues in the quarter were temporary and it has a better cash flow outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter, while increasing optics on capital management are outweighing a softer fiscal 2027 outlook, the equity research firm said.Although lower Cowal mine volumes and higher all-in sustaining costs represent headwinds, the transition to processing low-grade stockpiles should support lower cash costs and help sustain operating mine cash flow.Jefferies added that Evolution Mining's balance sheet is in good order, and its liquidity position of roughly AU$1.90 billion, with no debt repayments due until fiscal 2029, give it plenty of flexibility to finance growth initiatives."We continue to see upside risk to [capital expenditure] beyond FY26, with the stronger balance sheet supporting concurrent project funding rather than prior sequencing, while [Evolution Mining's] stated ambition to manage up to eight assets leaves M&A an option," Jefferies said.It maintained an underperform rating and AU$11 price target on the company.Evolution Mining's shares fell almost 4% in recent Friday trade.
