-- カナダ国立銀行は、カルガリー経済圏のカルガリー不動産協会（CREB）のデータに基づき、季節調整済みの住宅販売件数が3月から4月にかけて6.8%増加したと推定しています。これは前月の5.9%減からの回復です。 しかし、この増加にもかかわらず、住宅販売件数は実質的に2月の水準に戻っており、これは新型コロナウイルス感染症のパンデミック発生以来最低水準の一つですが、それでも過去の平均を上回っていると、同行は先週指摘しました。 カナダ国立銀行の見解では、この月の販売件数の増加は、大幅な減少後の一時的な回復であり、上昇トレンドの始まりを示すものではありません。 カナダ銀行が秋に利下げを行ったにもかかわらず、カルガリーの不動産市場の活動は短期的には回復の兆しを見せていないようです。これは、継続的な経済的不確実性、そして最近では地政学的な混乱が原因である可能性が高いと、同行は述べています。 貿易関係が改善すれば、地域における労働市場の堅調な推移と消費者信頼感の向上によって、住宅市場の活性化が見込まれると、同行は付け加えた。 しかし、インフレ率の上昇に伴う固定金利住宅ローンの金利上昇は、この回復を抑制する可能性があると、ナショナルバンクは指摘している。

EMEA Oil Update: Crude Climbs as Traders Assess Project Freedom
Crude oil futures rose on Monday as traders showed skepticism that the US Project Freedom initiative can restore normal trade through the Strait of Hormuz.Front-month Murban crude futures rose 1.7% to $105.49 per barrel, while Brent futures were up by 2.2% to $110.59/bbl."The market is steadier at the start of the new trading week, despite continued noise around developments in the Persian Gulf," ING said.Sentiment was briefly shaken by the announcement of 'Project Freedom', a US plan to guide commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz.However, initial sell-offs were quickly reversed as the market looked unconvinced by the plan's scope.Analysts note that without active US Navy escorts for inbound vessels, the move likely only provides temporary relief by clearing out existing floating storage rather than restoring normal trade flows.Supply concerns are further exacerbated by a lack of progress in diplomatic channels and shifts within OPEC+.Although the group announced a 188,000 b/d supply increase for June, its first meeting since the UAE's surprise exit, market experts doubt the full volume will reach the market.Over half of the scheduled increase is tied to Persian Gulf producers currently restricted by the Strait of Hormuz blockade.With President Trump reportedly labeling Iran's latest peace proposal "unacceptable" and Tehran refusing to discuss nuclear terms until port blockades are lifted, crude prices continue to hold a significant risk premium.
