EMEA天然ガス最新情報:米国とイランの合意が間近に迫っているとの報道を受け、先物価格が急落

By

-- 水曜日、米国とイランが2カ月以上にわたる紛争終結に向けた最終的な和平合意に向けて一定の進展を見せたとの兆候が見られたことを受け、欧州の天然ガス先物価格は急落した。この紛争は、石油取引史上最悪の供給ショックの一つを引き起こしている。 この進展は、Axiosの記事「米国とイラン、戦争終結に向けた1ページ覚書に迫る、当局者談」で明らかになった。 この記事は、米当局者2名と関係筋2名の話として、ホワイトハウスはイランが提案した1ページ覚書に基づく合意に近づいていると考えており、金曜日までにイランからの回答を待っていると報じた。 この報道を受け、オランダのTTF先物価格は一時9%近く下落したが、その後は6.5%安の43.86ユーロ(51.55ドル)で推移した。英国のNBP先物価格は6.6%安の107.5英ペンス(1.46ドル)となった。 しかし、水曜日遅くにドナルド・トランプ米大統領がソーシャルメディアサイト「トゥルース・ソーシャル」に投稿した内容は、イラン側の抵抗が続くことを示唆しているように見えた。 トランプ大統領は、合意に至らなければ、イランの核濃縮放棄を含む要求を実現するために米国は武力を行使すると改めて表明した。 「イランが合意内容を受け入れると仮定すれば(これはおそらく大きな仮定だが)、既に伝説となっている『エピック・フューリー』は終結し、非常に効果的な封鎖によってホルムズ海峡はイランを含むすべての国に開放されるだろう。もしイランが同意しなければ、爆撃が始まる。そして残念ながら、それは以前よりもはるかに高いレベルと激しさで行われるだろう」とトランプ大統領は書き込んだ。

Montreal's Housing Market In Better Shape Than Others in Canada, Says National Bank

According to National Bank of Canada's preliminary estimate based on Centris data, seasonally adjusted home sales in Montreal fell by 9.0% from March to April, marking the sharpest decline since October 2023, when buyers were bracing for potential interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada.Despite this decline, the Montreal market continues to compare favorably with other major Canadian cities, thanks in particular to its better affordability conditions; transaction levels in Montreal in April were at their historical average, while they were 26.5% below average in Toronto and 31.5% below in Vancouver.Although the sluggishness of the Quebec economy and the persistent commercial and geopolitical uncertainty in the background could explain part of the slowdown observed in April, the bank believes that the lingering winter conditions in April may have played a role.Indeed, to support this hypothesis, National Bank notes the decline across all property segments and the decreases recorded in most of the province's major cities. Upcoming data for May could confirm the validity of this theory.However, the bad weather doesn't seem to have dampened sellers' enthusiasm, as the bank estimates that new listings increased by 4.2% between March and April. Combined with the decline in sales, this resulted in a 3.9% increase in active listings, marking the fourth consecutive monthly rise.Overall, market conditions, as measured by the ratio of active listings to sales, eased considerably during the month and moved into balanced territory.However, this situation could be temporary if transactions rebound in May, which could tighten market conditions, it added.
