-- 中東情勢の緊張再燃、特にテヘラン近郊での軍事活動の報道やホルムズ海峡における混乱への懸念の高まりを受け、原油価格が急騰したことから、オーストラリア株は金曜日に下落する見込みです。 イスラエルとレバノンの停戦延長をめぐる不確実性や、レバノン南部での衝突継続も、リスク選好度を低下させています。 前日、S&P500種株価指数とダウ工業株30種平均はそれぞれ0.4%下落し、ナスダック総合指数は0.9%下落しました。 マクロ経済面では、投資家は来週発表されるオーストラリアの消費者物価指数(CPI)に注目しています。 企業ニュースでは、ニューモント(ASX:NEM)が金曜日、第1四半期の調整後1株当たり利益が2.90ドル、売上高が73億1000万ドルだったと発表しました。前年同期は調整後1株当たり利益が1.25ドル、売上高が50億1000万ドルでした。 フォーテスキュー(ASX:FMG)は、3月31日までの四半期における鉄鉱石出荷総量が4,840万湿トンとなり、前年同期の4,610万湿トンから増加したと発表した。 オーストラリアの主要株価指数は木曜日、0.6%(50.2ポイント)下落し、8,793.40で取引を終えた。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Share Of Rexford Industrial Realty Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $4 to $41, applying a forward P/FFO multiple of 17.1x on our 2026 FFO estimate, a discount to its 19.2x three-year forward average. We leave our 2026 FFO/share estimate unchanged at $2.40 but lower 2027's by $0.07 to $2.47. Negative re-leasing spreads remain our base case for 2026, but we believe infill properties in Southern California have structural barriers preventing new supply from coming online. Leasing rose 70% Y/Y in Q1 and we expect re-leasing spreads at 6%-9% in 2027, supported by a lack of new supply and higher occupancy rates. REXR's current capital recycling strategy, aimed at selling sub-4% cap rate properties and either repurchasing shares or redeveloping properties, should lift total portfolio returns higher next year. We note demand in Southern California remains strongest for spaces under 50K sq ft, which are REXR's core focus, and believe increased advanced manufacturer demand in the San Fernando Valley and South Bay markets could accelerate this year.
