-- 金価格は、米国がイランとの戦争に関連した停戦を延長したことを受け、2日間の下落の後、水曜日の早朝に上昇した。 6月限の金先物価格は、1オンスあたり48.50ドル高の4,768.10ドルで取引されている。 この上昇は、トランプ米大統領が火曜日に本日期限切れとなる停戦を延長したことを受けてのものだ。イランは、米海軍による港湾封鎖が解除されるまで、戦争終結に向けた協議を再開することを拒否している。膠着状態が続く中、原油価格は1バレル100ドルを下回っており、原油価格の高騰がインフレと金利上昇につながるとの懸念は後退している。 サクソバンクは、「トランプ大統領による停戦延長は、軍事的エスカレーションの差し迫ったリスク、ひいてはインフレを招く原油価格のさらなる高騰の脅威を軽減すると同時に、ドル安要因にもなっているため、金価格は2日間の下落の後、堅調に推移している」と指摘した。 それでもドルは序盤に小幅上昇し、ICEドル指数は0.1ポイント上昇して98.50となった。米国債利回りはまちまちで、2年物国債利回りは1.1ベーシスポイント上昇して3.79%となった一方、10年物国債利回りは0.9ポイント低下して4.29%となった。

Global Power Solutions (PWER.V) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with 2782404 AB LTD to evaluate the potential development of a modular hydrogen-powered energy project, it said Monday.The parties, under the terms of the LOI, will undertake a technical, commercial, and regulatory feasibility review to evaluate the potential development of one or more modular facilities with a potential aggregate capacity of up to about 100 megawatts. The proposed project, if advanced following feasibility review and definitive agreements, could be developed in phased stages."This LOI represents an opportunity to evaluate a potential application of modular hydrogen-powered energy systems within a decentralized generation framework," said Global Power Solutions Chief Executive Peter Medved.
