-- 米国の株式投資家は、中東における地政学的リスクの高まりに注目しつつ、第1四半期の決算と小売売上高にも目を向けるだろう。 * 複数のメディア報道によると、米海軍がオマーン湾でイランの貨物船を拿捕したことを受け、イランは報復を誓った。これにより、今週パキスタンで予定されていた、イランにとって恒久的な和平解決策を見出すための第2回交渉が危ぶまれている。 * CNNの報道によると、ジョン・D・バンス米副大統領と米政府高官がイスラマバードを訪問する予定だったが、イラン外務省は会談の予定はないと主張した。米国とイランが互いに停戦違反を非難し合っている停戦協定は、水曜日に期限を迎える。 イランとの和平合意が2週間の停戦延長なしに実現するとの楽観論から、金曜日に史上最高値を更新したS&P500種株価指数、ナスダック総合指数、ダウ工業株30種平均先物は、中東情勢の悪化への懸念から、月曜日の早朝に急落した。 WTI原油先物は7.2%高の89.92ドル、ブレント原油先物は6.3%高の96.10ドルと、取引開始前に急騰した。原油価格高騰がインフレに及ぼす影響を反映し、金先物は1.5%安の4,808.8ドル、銀先物は3%安の79.37ドルとなった。同様に、米国債利回りも上昇し、10年債利回りは2.2ベーシスポイント上昇して4.27%、2年債利回りは3.5ベーシスポイント上昇して3.74%となった。今週の四半期決算発表の注目銘柄は、テスラ(TSLA)のほか、インテル(INTC)、IBM(IBM)、ラムリサーチ(LRCX)、テキサス・インスツルメンツ(TXN)、SAP(SAP)といったテクノロジー関連企業です。その他、アメリカン・エキスプレス(AXP)、GEバーノバ(GEV)、ボーイング(BA)、ユナイテッドヘルス(UNH)などの大型株も今週決算発表を予定しています。 米国のマクロ経済指標では、投資家は小売売上高、S&Pグローバル製造業・サービス業PMI、ADP雇用統計、新規失業保険申請件数、ミシガン消費者信頼感指数の最終値、そしてミシガン州の1年後および5年後のインフレ期待値に注目するでしょう。

Canada's April CPI Will Jump to Around 3% Y/Y After March's Surge, Says CIBC
Everyone knew that Canada's inflation would jump in March due to higher gasoline prices, but the only question remaining was how high would it jump, said CIBC after Monday's consumer price index data.The 2.4% year-over-year headline reading, driven by a 0.9% non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) month-over-month increase (0.5% after seasonal adjustment), was actually slightly below the consensus expectation (2.6%), although still a sharp acceleration from 1.8% year over year in the prior month, noted the bank."Of course" higher gasoline prices were the primary driver of the acceleration in inflation, with only limited sign of pass-through to other areas yet, said CIBC. Indeed, if anything, core inflation was tamer than expected in March, with four measures (CPI-Trim, Median, CPI-X and excluding food/energy) averaging 0.1% month over month and 1.4% on a three-month annualized basis, it added, while noting telephone services saw a big decline on the month, which had a strong downward impact on the CPI-X and ex food/energy measures of core inflation.Looking forward, CIBC said a further rise in gasoline prices will see headline inflation jump to around 3% next month, before hopefully easing back slightly in May, partly due to the temporary suspension of the federal fuel excise tax (worth about -0.2% percentage point to headline inflation for May).Pass-through from higher energy prices into core measures of inflation may become more evident closer to the summer months, particularly as higher air fares are picked up more fully, but slack within the Canadian economy should prevent those measures from reaccelerating too much, enabling the Bank of Canada to remain on the sidelines through 2026, it added.
