-- 月曜日の日本株は、円高とインフレ抑制を目的とした日本銀行の金融引き締めへの期待感から下落して取引を終えた。これは、経済産業大臣がイラン戦争に関連した物価上昇圧力に対抗するため、利上げの可能性を示唆する発言をしたことを受けたものだ。 ドナルド・トランプ米大統領は、週末のイラン和平協議決裂を受け、ホルムズ海峡の封鎖を命じ、イランとの緊張を高めた。 日経平均株価は前日比0.74%安の421.34ポイント安の56,502.77円で引けた。 経済産業省の赤澤良成貿易担当官は、テレビ番組で円高が原油輸入コストの上昇緩和に役立つとの提案があったことに対し、次のように答えた。 赤澤氏は、円高は経済全体への影響を評価しつつ、一つの選択肢として検討できると述べ、実質金利が低水準にとどまっている状況でも、日本銀行のインフレ目標である2%は達成可能だと付け加えた。企業関連では、レノバ(東証:9519)の株価は、3月の電力販売量が計画を上回り、前年同月比で大幅に増加したことを受け、5%上昇した。発電量削減の影響は限定的だった。 四国銀行(東証:8387)の株価は、デジタル変革を通じて収益性の向上と資本効率の改善を目指す3カ年計画を発表したことを受け、6%上昇した。 サクラインターネット(東証:3778)の株価は、収益増が見込まれる38億円規模のAIインフラ構築案件を受注したことを受け、7%上昇した。
