-- （見出しに情報を追加） 米国の株式投資家は、米軍がホルムズ海峡で立ち往生した船舶を護衛した場合、イランがワシントンとの停戦合意を破棄する可能性に注目するとともに、今週は大型株の四半期決算と労働市場データに注目するだろう。 * ドナルド・トランプ大統領が、米軍が月曜日からホルムズ海峡で立ち往生した船舶の誘導を開始すると述べたことを受け、イラン当局者は、米国がホルムズ海峡に接近または進入しようとすれば攻撃すると警告したとCNNが報じた。ロイター通信によると、米中央軍は、1万5000人の兵士、100機以上の陸上・海上航空機、軍艦、ドローンでこの作戦を支援すると発表した。 * 同時に、トランプ大統領はイランとの「非常に前向きな協議」を行ったとCNNが報じた。イラン外務省は、テヘランの最新の和平提案に対する米国の回答を検討しているとCNNが伝えた。 * 一方、月曜早朝、ウエスト・テキサス・インターミディエイト（WTI）原油先物は1.3%上昇して1バレル＝103.27ドル、ブレント原油先物も1.3%上昇して1バレル＝109.62ドルとなった。米国債利回りも軒並み上昇し、10年債利回りは2ベーシスポイント上昇して4.4%、2年債利回りは2.3ベーシスポイント上昇して3.91%となった。 * 今週発表予定の四半期決算には、パランティア・テクノロジーズ（PLTR）、アドバンスト・マイクロ・デバイセズ（AMD）、アリスタ・ネットワークス（ANET）、アーム・ホールディングス（ARM）、ウーバー・テクノロジーズ（UBER）、アプロビン（APP）、シェル（SHEL）、マクドナルド（MCD）、ウォルト・ディズニー（DIS）などが含まれる。 * 今週発表予定のマクロ経済指標には、非農業部門雇用者数、JOLTS求人数、ADP民間雇用者数、チャレンジャー社の人員削減数、ISMサービス業PMI、ミシガン大学による消費者信頼感指数とインフレ期待指数（速報値）などが含まれる。欧州連合（EU）のキリアコス・ピエラカキス議長はブルームバーグに対し、トランプ大統領がEUからの自動車・トラックに対する関税を25％に引き上げるという脅しを実行に移した場合、欧州は対応すると述べた。「最優先の選択肢は常に対話だ」とピエラカキス議長は語った。「合意内容から逸脱する事態になれば、当然、あらゆる選択肢が検討されるだろう」。
