-- サウジアラビアのタダウル証券取引所は火曜日、中東の地政学的緊張がサウジアラビアの非石油民間部門の回復に対する好材料を覆い隠し、0.75%安で取引を終えた。 リヤド銀行サウジアラビア購買担当者景気指数(PMI)は、4月に前月の48.8から51.5へと上昇し、景気拡大の基準値を回復した。 同報告書は、前月比の上昇は生産量の増加、取引量の改善、そして景気見通しの緩やかな上方修正によるものだと分析している。 リヤド銀行のチーフエコノミスト、ナイフ・アル・ガイス氏は、「PMIの改善は、事業活動と新規受注の回復を反映しており、いずれも成長圏に復帰した。企業は国内需要の増加と既存プロジェクトの継続的な進捗に支えられ、生産量の増加を報告している。これは、政府支出、インフラ開発、民間部門の参画によって牽引される国内経済の勢いが、引き続き経済の重要な安定化要因として機能していることを示唆している」とコメントした。 ホルムズ海峡情勢は、米国とイランが互いの船舶を攻撃し合ったことで、市場のムードを冷え込ませている。米国は小型ボート6隻を攻撃し、イラン側は米国の船舶に威嚇射撃を行った。 さらに、イランは「米軍の冒険主義」への報復として、アラブ首長国連邦(UAE)に対しミサイルとドローンによる攻撃を行った。この攻撃により、UAEの港湾で火災が発生した。 一方、国内の企業動向を見ると、スモウ・リアルエステート(SASE:4323)の株価は0.03%上昇して取引を終えた。同社は、サウジアラビア航空不動産開発会社と、ジェッダの複合開発用地として開発される予定の土地について、35年間のリース契約を締結した。
