-- ドイツの主要株価指数であるDAX指数は火曜日、0.27%下落した。投資家は、米国とイラン間の外交的膠着状態に加え、最新の企業決算や業績見通しを注視している。 DAX構成銘柄の中で最も下落したのは、キアゲン(QIA.F)で、2026年通期の純売上高見通しを、従来の5%増から1~2%増(為替変動の影響を除く)に下方修正したことが要因だ。同社はまた、純売上高が前年の5億3400万ドルから2%減少すると予測している。 同時に、バイエル(BAYN.F)の株価も4.01%下落した。ブルームバーグ・ニュースが、米最高裁判所がラウンドアップ訴訟の対応について意見が分かれたと報じたことが背景にある。市場の反応とは裏腹に、mwbリサーチはモンサント対ダーネル訴訟の審理を「概ね中立的、やや建設的」と評し、ドイツのライフサイエンス企業であるモンサントがラウンドアップ訴訟の負債を抑制するための広範な戦略の一環と捉えている。 「口頭弁論では決定的な結論は出ず、判事の意見も分かれたようだが、最高裁による先制判決は、係争中の72億5000万ドルの和解案と並んで、依然として有力な起爆剤となる。これらはいずれも、バイエルにとって最大の構造的重荷となっている訴訟問題に関する見通しを改善する。有利な判決が出れば、すべての訴訟が直ちに解消されるわけではないが、バイエルの法的立場が強化され、将来のキャッシュフローの不確実性が軽減され、クロップサイエンス事業に対する市場心理が改善するだろう。市場は依然として長期化する訴訟リスクを過大評価しているため、当社は引き続き株価のマルチプル再評価の余地があると見ており、買い推奨と目標株価52.00ユーロを維持する」とmwbは述べている。 経済ニュースでは、ユーロ圏の消費者物価指数が上昇した。欧州中央銀行(ECB)が発表した最新の月次消費者期待調査によると、今後12ヶ月および今後3年間のインフレ率予想の中央値は、3月にそれぞれ4%と3%に上昇し、前月の2.5%から改善した。一方、今後5年間のインフレ率予想は、2月の2.3%から2.4%にわずかに上昇した。 「木曜日のECB会合を前に、今朝発表されたデータは、中東戦争とエネルギー価格の高騰が、ユーロ圏経済にとってインフレショックだけでなく、スタグフレーションショックをもたらしていることを示すさらなる証拠となる。インフレ期待の高まりは利上げ議論を活発化させるだろうが、成長への悪影響を示す兆候が強まっているため、積極的な利上げは容易ではないだろう。ECBの主要な政策目標は物価安定であるとはいえ、景気後退を悪化させるリスクを冒してまで、外生的供給ショックに対処しようとするとは考えにくい」とINGは述べている。 中東紛争に関して言えば、イランが核開発計画に関する協議を敵対行為の終結まで棚上げするという最新の提案は、ドナルド・トランプ米大統領の要求に反するものだと、ロイター通信は匿名の米当局者の話として報じた。トランプ大統領はテヘランからの新たな条件に「不満」を抱いており、核問題は最初から解決されるべきだと主張している、と同通信は付け加えた。
