-- 日経新聞が火曜日に発表した調査によると、長期金利の上昇を受け、日本の主要生命保険会社の約半数が2026年度に国内債券の保有を増やす見込みだ。 10社のうち5社が日本国債の買い増しを計画しており、これは前年の4社から増加している。20年債利回りは3.3%前後となっている。米国債との利回り差の縮小とヘッジコストの上昇により、外国債の魅力は低下しており、買い増しを計画しているのは日本生命保険と明治安田生命保険のみだと同調査は指摘している。 明治安田生命保険は約1兆円相当の超長期債を購入する予定で、日本郵政保険（東証：7181）は約20年ぶりに保有額を増やすと同調査は伝えている。 10社全体の国内債券保有総額は約1.5兆円減少する見込みだが、これは前年の減少幅より小さい。同調査によると、すべての保険会社がプライベートクレジットなどのオルタナティブ資産への配分を増やす計画だという。 （マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話から得られた情報に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれている可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。）
