-- TD銀行は、今週はカナダ銀行の金利決定に注目が集まると指摘した。 カナダ中央銀行は、水曜日に政策声明と新たな金融政策報告書(MPR)を発表する予定だ。 TD銀行は、カナダ銀行は金利を据え置くと広く予想されていると述べた。イラン戦争による経済的影響は依然として不確実性が高く、特にコアインフレ率が依然として安定している状況では、金利据え置きから転換するのは時期尚早だろう。 とはいえ、先週発表されたカナダ銀行の企業景況感調査(BOS)は、短期的なインフレ期待に若干の上方修正が見られるものの、長期的な指標は依然として安定していることを示している。TD銀行は、カナダ銀行が期待値を安定させるために必要に応じて行動する用意があることを強調すると予想している。 TD銀行はまた、今週火曜日には連邦政府の春季経済見通しが発表されることも指摘した。 昨年11月の予算案では、2026/27年度の財政赤字は国内総生産(GDP)比2.0%という「高い」水準と予測されていた。同行によると、この不足額は、今期の州政府の予算案における予想額の上限に近い水準となる見込みだという。 しかし、政府歳入の主要因となる名目GDPの今年の見通しは、昨年11月時点の見通しよりも上方修正される可能性が高い。また、食料品購入補助金の上乗せなど、既に発表済みの施策がいくつかあるため、今回の更新では実質的な新規施策は少ないかもしれないとTD銀行は指摘している。

Airline Capacity Deployment Slowdown Amid High Fuel Prices Could Hit Aircraft Lessors, Deutsche Bank Says
Aircraft lessors could be impacted by a projected slowdown in airline capacity deployment globally amid elevated jet fuel prices triggered by the Middle East conflict, Deutsche Bank said Monday.Energy prices have soared following the US-Israel war with Iran that has disrupted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows.The conflict, which paused following a ceasefire between the US and Iran and later between Israel and Lebanon, has pushed jet fuel prices past $4 a gallon, according to Deutsche Bank."While aircraft lessors are not directly impacted (by high fuel prices) like airlines with higher operating costs, they are indirectly affected by changes in supply and demand for aircraft," Deutsche Bank analyst Shannon Doherty said in a note to clients Monday. "We cannot ignore the fact that surging jet fuel prices will lead to a slowing of global airline capacity deployment, with groundings a possibility among the financially weakest operators."Last week, American Airlines (AAL) and United Airlines (UAL) lowered their full-year earnings projections. United Airlines said at the time it faced headwinds in the first quarter, including a $340 million increase in fuel expense, compared with a year earlier.Qatar Airways recently contacted lessors to potentially defer or reduce rental payments, Deutsche Bank said Monday. If other airlines request similar favors and aircraft lessors opt to provide that relief, new terms will likely be net present value-positive over the longer term for lessors, according to the note.A premium multiple to AerCap Holdings' (AER) book value is "justified" given its diversified asset fleet earning mid-double-digit return on equity, Doherty said. An undersupply of aircraft assets is "structural" and is expected to last through the end of the decade, the brokerage wrote."AerCap represents one of the best ways to play this theme given the high demand for aircraft, its large orderbook, durable earnings, and high visibility into future cash flows given the long duration nature of its lease contracts," Doherty said.Price: $137.95, Change: $-0.14, Percent Change: -0.10%
