-- 日本銀行は政策金利を据え置いたものの、中東情勢に関連したインフレリスクへの懸念から、利上げを求める3人の理事から反対意見が出た。 日銀は2日間の会合を終え、短期政策金利を0.75%に据え置いた。高田肇、田村直樹、中川順子の各理事は1%への利上げを提案していた。 上田和夫総裁は、中東情勢が物価と経済にどのような影響を与えるかを評価するには、政策当局者にはさらに時間が必要だと述べた。 上田総裁は、日本経済はやや弱さはあるものの緩やかに回復しており、2026年には成長が鈍化すると予想していると述べた。また、インフレ率が目標を上回れば経済活動に重くのしかかるリスクがあると指摘した。

Research Alert: Epd: Permian Growth Remains Strong, But A Slight Miss In Q1
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) kicked off 2026 with Q1 earnings per unit of $0.68, missing consensus by $0.05, though adjusted EBITDA of $2.7B rose 10% Y/Y, reflecting strong underlying performance. Volume growth remained robust across key segments, with record natural gas processing inlet volumes of 8.3 bcf/d up 7% Y/Y and NGL pipeline volumes of 4.9 mmb/d up 10% Y/Y. Growth opportunities in natural gas processing look healthy, with plans for two additional processing plants in 2027 to increase total capacity by 12% and capture growing Permian production. Management noted natural gas and NGL production growth is expected to be 1.6x that of crude oil production growth. The company sees 2026 growth capex of $2.3B-$2.6B, down from original plans of $2.5B-$2.9B. With recent projects in service, we see EPD entering "harvesting mode" with meaningful free cash flow expansion ahead. We think demand for midstream services is increasingly fueled by data center expansion requiring more natural gas pipeline capacity.
