-- (価格更新) 水曜日の午後、金価格は上昇した。イランと米国が戦争終結に向けた合意に近づいているとの報道を受け、米ドルと利回りが急落したほか、先月の米国民間部門の雇用が急増したことも背景にある。 6月渡しの金先物価格は、1オンスあたり122.50ドル高の4,691.00ドルで取引されている。 この貴金属価格の上昇は、イランと米国が敵対行為を終結させるための交渉合意に近づいているとの報道を受けたもので、後にトランプ米大統領もこれを裏付けた。トランプ大統領はソーシャルメディアへの投稿で、イランが米国の和平案に同意すれば、戦争は「終結する」とし、ホルムズ海峡は航行可能になると述べた。 原油価格は、ペルシャ湾岸諸国からの原油供給量の20%を占めるチョークポイントであるホルムズ海峡の再開に向けた合意への期待から、急落した。供給ショックによるインフレ上昇と金利上昇への懸念が和らいだためだ。 「ワシントンは、外国からの圧力と戦争に対する国内の反対の高まりを受け、ホルムズ海峡の再開に焦点を移している」とサクソバンクは指摘した。 4月の米民間部門の雇用は急増し、ADP全米雇用報告によると、民間部門の雇用者数は前月の6万1000人増から10万9000人増に増加した。マーケットウォッチの予想では8万4000人増だった。 ドルは序盤に急落し、ICEドル指数は0.39ポイント安の98.05で推移した。米国債利回りも低下し、2年物国債の利回りは直近で7.4ベーシスポイント低下して3.876%となり、10年物国債の利回りは7.4ポイント低下して4.355%となった。

Advanced Micro Devices Set to Command Half of Growing Server CPU Market, BofA Says
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is expected to capture about half of the total addressable market for server central processing units, which the company expects will exceed $120 billion by 2030, BofA Securities said in a note emailed Wednesday.The chip maker's updated forecast for server CPU TAM is double its previous estimate amid rising agentic artificial intelligence demand, according to the brokerage.The server CPU market is now expected to grow more than 35% annually, reaching over $120 billion by 2030, AMD Chief Executive Lisa Su said late Tuesday during an earnings call, according to a FactSet transcript.The company previously expected market growth of 18% annually over the next three to five years.BofA expects AMD to capture a roughly 50% share of the server CPU market, with the remaining half split between rivals Intel (INTC) and Arm (ARM)."Rising CPU TAM is good for all CPU vendors, but we expect AMD to maintain/expand share on (the) back of broad portfolio, rising enterprise focus, continued cloud leadership and consistent roadmap execution," BofA analyst Vivek Arya wrote. "Separately, we expect AMD to potentially announce other large customers for GPUs for (2027) and beyond."Shares of AMD surged 18% in Wednesday afternoon trade.The company reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter results late Tuesday, as demand for AI infrastructure pushed data center revenue higher year over year."Inferencing and agentic AI are increasing the need for server CPU compute as these workloads require additional CPU processing for orchestration, data movement, and parallel execution in addition to serving as the head nodes for GPUs and accelerators," Su told analysts during the earnings call. "As a result, we are seeing both stronger near-term demand and deeper engagement with customers on long-term capacity planning."AMD currently represents about 6% of the AI TAM, and that figure is expected to grow toward double digits by 2030, Arya said.Still, AMD remains "exposed to uncertain share allocation between numerous OpenAI suppliers" including Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO) and Cerebras Systems, he said.Following AMD's first-quarter results, BofA raised the company's 2026 and 2027 pro-forma earnings per share estimate by 9% each to $7.28 and $11.80. The brokerage is projecting AMD's 2030 EPS potential at more than $27, above management's $20-plus target.BofA reiterated AMD's buy rating and lifted the price target to $450 from $310.Price: $417.82, Change: $+62.56, Percent Change: +17.61%
OPEC Production Slumps to 36-Year Low on Iran Conflict Impact, Bloomberg Survey Says
OPEC crude production slumped to its lowest level in 36 years last month as an ongoing Iran conflict choked off Persian Gulf exports and forced a wave of supply shut-ins, a Bloomberg survey showed on Wednesday.Output from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries fell by 420,000 barrels per day in April to an average of 20.55 million b/d. The total marks the group's lowest production ceiling since 1990, led by deepening supply disruptions in Kuwait and Iran.Last week, the producer group also faced another setback when the UAE announced its formal departure. Bloomberg's April survey includes figures for the UAE for the final month before its exit takes effect on May 1.Kuwait registered the group's steepest decline in April, with output falling by 470,000 b/d to an average of 800,000 b/d.Iran followed, after initially sustaining exports in the early phase of the conflict while restricting use of the strait by others, but has since come under mounting pressure from a US-led blockade on shipments.However, despite the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, OPEC agreed over the weekend to a nominal increase in output quotas for June.The symbolic move is intended to maintain the alliance's pre-war strategy of restoring production, though analysts noted the hikes remain largely "on paper" given the current maritime blockade.
Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Arista Networks, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We keep our 12-month target at $175, based on 48.2x our 2026 EPS estimate. We increase our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.10 to $3.63 and 2027's by $0.17 to $4.42. While ANET was able to raise its full-year guidance, it was lower than we expected due to some notable challenges. It experienced industry-wide supply shortages, particularly in wafers, silicon chips, CPUs, optics, and memory. These shortages increased procurement costs and limited its ability to fully meet strong customer demand. Gross margin was under pressure due to a combination of higher supply chain costs (especially for memory and silicon) and a shift in customer mix toward larger accounts, which tend to have lower margins. It also paid more to secure supply continuity, further impacting margins. Lead times for critical components, particularly high-end chips used in AI platforms, were extremely long, sometimes extending to 52 weeks or more, requiring ANET to make multiyear purchase commitments and increasing the risk of inventory imbalances.
