EMEA天然ガス最新情報:米国とイラン間の和平進展がないにもかかわらず、先物価格は下落

By

-- 欧州の天然ガス先物価格は火曜日、米国とイランの膠着状態に進展が見られず、ちょうど2ヶ月を迎えたこの紛争を受けて下落した。 期近のオランダTTFガス先物価格は0.58%下落し、1メガワット時あたり44.38ユーロ(51.91ドル)となった。一方、英国NBP指標価格は0.23%下落し、1サーモあたり109.54ペンス(1.48ドル)となった。 報道によると、イランは月曜日、米国がイランに対する封鎖を解除する見返りとして、ホルムズ海峡の再開を求める最新の提案を提示した。 また、イランは核開発計画に関する協議を延期するよう要求したと、米当局者と他の2人の情報源を引用したAxiosの報道が伝えている。 ニューヨーク・タイムズ紙は、進行中の協議について説明を受けた複数の関係者の話として、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と報じた。この提案は核問題という重要な課題を完全に回避しているためだ。 ホルムズ海峡モニターによると、この重要な海峡は9週連続で事実上閉鎖されたままで、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・ハインズ氏は、供給不足を補うため、買い手はスポット市場への依存度を高めていると述べた。 ハインズ氏はまた、船舶追跡データによると、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3%減少している可能性があると指摘した。ヨーロッパは来冬に備えてガス貯蔵量を補充しようとしている。 欧州ガスインフラ機構(Gas Infrastructure Europe)によると、今年の欧州大陸のガス備蓄量は容量の31.75%にとどまり、前年同期の38.42%を下回っている。 欧州悪天候情報センター(Severe-Weather EU)によると、4月下旬には北極からの寒気が流入し、東欧および南東欧全域で気温が低下する見込みだ。これにより、ガスの供給停止期間が終了した後も、暖房用ガスの需要が増加すると予想される。

Kimberly-Clark First-Quarter Results Top Views; Full-Year Outlook Affirmed

Kimberly-Clark (KMB) reported better-than-expected first-quarter results and maintained its full-year outlook Tuesday, while the consumer goods maker flagged potential incremental input cost headwinds of up to $170 million in the second half due to elevated oil prices.The Kleenex tissues maker's adjusted earnings attributable to the company rose to $1.97 a share for the March quarter from $1.93 a year earlier, which was the consensus on FactSet. Net sales improved 2.7% to $4.16 billion, topping the Street's view for $4.09 billion.The company's shares were up 1.1% in Tuesday afternoon trade. So far this year, the stock has lost 1.6% in value.Kimberly-Clark said it continues to expect full-year adjusted EPS from continuing operations to grow at a double-digit rate, while adjusted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark are still seen flat, both on a constant-currency basis.The company also continues to expect 2026 organic sales to grow in line to ahead of the weighted average growth in the categories and countries it competes, which for the latest 12 months grew at roughly 2.5%, it said.Kimberly-Clark could face gross incremental input cost headwinds of between $150 million and $170 million in the second half of the year, if oil prices stay at the $100 a barrel level, Chief Financial Officer Nelson Urdaneta said in prepared remarks on the company's website.Energy prices have soared following the US-Israel war with Iran that started at the end of February, with the Strait of Hormuz -- the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows -- effectively closed. The conflict paused following a recent ceasefire between the US and Iran and later between Israel and Lebanon.Kimberly-Clark's first-quarter international personal care business revenue climbed 9.1% to $1.51 billion, buoyed by organic sales growth of 4% and favorable currency impacts. Sales in North America fell 0.6% to $2.65 billion, driven by a 2.7% headwind from the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the US, partially offset by organic sales growth of 1.8%."We continued to deliver solid volume-plus-mix performance while building share momentum despite continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty," Chief Executive Mike Hsu said in a statement. "We continue to generate meaningful cost savings that reinforce our strong financial foundation and enable us to invest in our exciting future."For the second quarter, Kimberly-Clark expects to incur a $50 million headwind related to a recent fire at its Ontario, California, distribution center, "as well as some incremental costs due to the conflict in the Middle East," Urdaneta said. "We expect to fully mitigate these costs in the second half of the year with the many levers available within our integrated margin management capabilities."Price: $99.40, Change: $+1.15, Percent Change: +1.17%
