3月の耐久財受注は予想以上に回復

By

-- 米国の耐久財需要は3月に予想以上に回復し、コンピューターや電子製品が牽引役となった一方、民間航空機の新規受注は減少したことが、水曜日に発表された政府データで明らかになった。 国勢調査局によると、平均耐用年数が3年以上の有形財の受注は、2月の1.2%減から一転、3月は前月比0.8%増の3,188億8,000万ドルとなった。ブルームバーグがまとめた調査では、3月の受注は0.5%増と予想されていた。 コンピューターと電子製品の需要は3.7%増加し、他のいくつかの分野でも増加が見られた。防衛用航空機および部品の新規受注は前月比約17%急増したが、民間航空機の受注は21%減少した。 防衛関連資本財の需要は3月に前月比18%増加したが、非防衛関連資本財の需要は1.2%減少した。 今月初め、航空機メーカーのボーイング(BA)は、第1四半期の受注が161機で、前年同期の241機から減少したと発表した。3月単月では、受注総数は33機だった。 水曜日に発表された政府データによると、米国の住宅着工件数は、戸建て住宅と集合住宅の両方で好調だったことから、3月に予想外に急増した。 「3月の資本財受注と住宅着工件数の急増は、米国経済が第1四半期に大幅に強化されたことを示唆している」と、BMOキャピタル・マーケッツのシニアエコノミスト、サル・グアティエリ氏はメモの中で述べた。 政府データによると、輸送機器を除く耐久財受注は先月0.9%増加し、ウォール街の予想である0.4%増を上回った。 グアティエリ氏は水曜日、公式データは木曜日に発表される見込みで、米国経済は第1四半期に年率換算で「堅調な」2.3%の成長を遂げたと述べている。「(人工知能主導の)投資ブームは衰える気配がない」。
