-- 金価格は火曜日の早朝、5週間ぶりの安値から上昇した。これは、米国債利回りが10カ月ぶりの高水準から低下したことが背景にある。 6月限の金先物価格は、1オンスあたり44.70ドル高の4,578.00ドルで取引されている。 イランとの戦争勃発により、金への安全資産需要が高まったことから、金価格はここ1カ月ほどほぼレンジ相場で推移している。一方で、イランとの戦争開始後に原油価格が上昇し、インフレ率を押し上げている。物価上昇に伴う金利上昇の懸念は債券利回りを押し上げており、無利子である金にとっては弱気材料となっている。 「指標となる米国10年債利回りは月曜日に約7ベーシスポイント上昇し、4.44%をわずかに下回る水準で引けた。これは昨年7月以来の高値水準であり、トレーダーは4.50%という大きな節目を狙っている」とサクソバンクは述べている。 しかし、火曜日の早い時間帯には利回りは落ち着きを見せ、米国の2年債利回りは2.2ベーシスポイント低下の3.94%、10年債利回りは1.8ベーシスポイント低下の4.423%となった。ドルは上昇し、ICEドル指数は0.12ポイント上昇の98.49となった。
