ASEAN閣僚、ホルムズ海峡の長期にわたる混乱がインフレ圧力を高めると警告

By

-- ASEAN経済相は金曜日、共同声明で、ホルムズ海峡における長期にわたる混乱が世界のエネルギー市場の変動を激化させ、アジアへの石油・液化天然ガス(LNG)供給フローのリスクを高めるとともに、広範なインフレ圧力を助長していると警告した。 ASEAN経済共同体理事会は、こうした混乱が「世界のエネルギー安全保障に深刻なリスクをもたらし、石油・LNG価格の継続的な変動を招き、輸送費、保険料、物流コストを急激に上昇させている」と指摘した。 ホルムズ海峡を通過する輸送量の80%がアジア市場向けであることを強調しつつ、閣僚らは生活費が全般的に上昇しており、特に脆弱な低所得世帯をはじめとする数百万人の生活に影響を与えていると述べた。 同グループはまた、ジャカルタに拠点を置くシンクタンクである東アジア・ASEAN経済研究所が、将来こうした混乱に適切に対処するために、地域共同の石油備蓄に関する研究を実施するという提案を行ったことにも注目した。

Research Alert: Mg: Q1 Earnings Well Ahead Of Expectations; Guidance Revisions Mixed

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Magna International (MG) posted Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.38 vs. $0.78 (+77%), well ahead of the $1.01 consensus, owing to much stronger-than-expected sales and margins, as revenue rose 3.1% to $10.38B ($110M above consensus) and adjusted EBIT margin expanded 190 bps to 5.4% (120 bps above consensus). MG lowered 2026 revenue guidance to $41.5B-$43.1B from $41.9B-$43.5B (current consensus: $42.4B). The only other change to previous guidance was a reduction in its net interest expense expectation to $165M from $180M. Other prior guidance was unchanged. While the company did not raise full-year EPS guidance, we think a raise is now more likely given the magnitude of the beat, although we think management's caution is understandable given current macro uncertainties. Given MG's broad product diversification across the automotive parts and equipment space, and status as the largest North American auto supplier, we think the strength of its Q1 results has positive implications for other auto suppliers.

Belo Sun Mining Provides Update on Volte Grande Project

Belo Sun Mining (BSX.TO) expects to provide a comprehensive update on the Volte Grande Project in Brazil by the end of the second quarter, the company said on Friday.Belo Sun was re-issued the installation license (LI) with updated conditions, for the project last February, and has since been working with the authorities to clarify the technical work required to satisfy the conditions. The update will outline the next phase of work as the project advances toward construction.The new LI, which is valid until April 2029, maintains the same project scope, studies, and layout, and allows Belo Sun to advance the project, the company added."The reissued Installation License is an important step forward for the Project and provides greater clarity on the permitting framework. We are encouraged by SEMAS's constructive and collaborative approach following the reinstatement of the LI, and by the ongoing dialogue as we work together to advance the Project to maximize its benefits for all stakeholders. Our focus remains advancing the Project responsibly while supporting employment, training and economic opportunities for local communities," said chief executive Clovis Torres.Belo Sun shares closed down $0.02, to $1.20 on Thursday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
