-- イランが地域紛争終結に向けて提示した提案が米当局者の心を動かすには至らなかったとの報道を受け、欧州の天然ガス先物価格は火曜日に上昇した。 オランダのTTFガス先物(期近)は0.74%上昇し、1メガワット時あたり44.97ユーロ(52.62ドル)となった。一方、英国のNBP(英国ベーシスポイント)は1.37%上昇し、1サーモあたり111.29ペンス(1.50ドル)となった。 米当局者と関係筋2人の話として、Axiosが報じたところによると、イランの最新の提案は、ホルムズ海峡の再開と引き換えに、米国がイランに対する封鎖を解除するというもので、核開発計画に関する重要な協議は後日行われる予定だという。 しかし、ニューヨーク・タイムズ紙が複数の関係者の話として報じたところによると、ドナルド・トランプ米大統領はこの最新の提案に懐疑的である。核問題という核の核問題を全く回避しているためだ。 戦略的に極めて重要なホルムズ海峡は、9週連続で事実上閉鎖されたままで、ホルムズ海峡モニターによると、過去24時間で通過した船舶はわずか7隻だった。 ANZ銀行のシニア商品ストラテジスト、ダニエル・ハインズ氏によると、買い手は供給不足を補うため、スポット市場への依存度を高めている。 ハインズ氏はまた、船舶追跡データに基づき、4月に入ってからヨーロッパに到着したLNGタンカーの数は前年同期比で減少していると指摘。ヨーロッパでは在庫補充が始まっているにもかかわらず、輸送量は前年比で最大3%減少する可能性があると述べている。 Gas Infrastructure Europeによると、欧州の天然ガス貯蔵量は現在、容量のわずか31.75%にまで減少しており、これは前年同期の38.42%と比較して低い水準である。

Research Alert: Spgi: Q1 Earnings Beat On Surging Ratings Revenue
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:SPGI posted solid Q1 2026 results with operating EPS of $4.97 vs. $4.37 YoY, beating the consensus by $0.15 after last quarter's miss. Revenue of $4.17B rose 10% YoY and beat the consensus by 2%, marking the third consecutive quarter of accelerating growth. We view this favorably as the Iran conflict had minimal impact on results. This validates management's confidence with improving business sentiment and reduced tariff uncertainty. Ratings was the standout performer with revenue surging 13% to $1.302B, due to robust issuance across both transaction (+15% to $712M) and non-transaction (+11% to $590M) revenue. Market Intelligence showed continued stabilization with 8% growth to $1.296B, though we believe AI disruption remains a long-term concern. Operating leverage was evident with adjusted operating margin expanding 100 bps to 51.8%, while the company returned $1.0B through repurchases and expects to return 100%+ of adjusted FCF in 2026.
