【ワシントン時事】米連邦準備制度理事会(FRB)が14日発表した全米12地区の連銀景況報告(ベージュブック)によると、経済活動について「わずかから緩やかな成長」と報告した。大半の地区では、企業が前向きな経済見通しを維持しているものの、根強い不透明感が重荷になっていると分析。米イラン紛争に伴う原油高の影響が浸透しており、一部ではコスト上昇の勢いが強まっていると指摘した。

9月の米消費者物価、3.7%上昇 原油高で伸び加速

全地区が物価上昇に言及。軽油の価格高騰が響き、「供給網(サプライチェーン)全体に価格転嫁が起きている」とした。保険や関税などによる値上げ圧力が続いているとの指摘もあった。複数地区の企業が契約更新に伴い、今後数カ月間でさらなる物価上昇に直面すると警戒感を示した。

国内総生産(GDP)の7割を占める個人消費に関し、過半数の地区が「高所得家計がけん引している」と答えた。低所得者が消費により慎重になっているとの報告もあった。

Nikkei average drops by more than 3,100 yen at one point, with interest rate hike expectations reignited due to US inflation concerns

At the Tokyo stock market on the 15th, the Nikkei average stock price was at the 64,500 yen level, more than 3,100 yen lower than the previous day's closing price, falling below 65,000 yen for the first time in about two weeks. This is a continuation of the decline in major stock indexes in the US market the previous day, with the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) exceeding market expectations in September, rekindling expectations for a Fed interest rate hike. Selling spread mainly in semiconductor-related stocks, and AI and semiconductor stocks such as Advantest, SoftBank Group, and Tokyo Electron fell across the board.

[ITmedia News] “Incorrect loss cut” in SBI Securities FX. Subcontractor IIJ made a work error and the system could not detect it, affecting 779 accounts.

SBI Securities announced on October 14th that a system failure had occurred in its FX stock certificate collateral service, and forced settlements were carried out from the 12th to early morning of the 13th on 779 accounts that were not originally subject to loss cuts. The cause was an operational error by the subcontractor, IIJ, and a system design that made it impossible to detect errors. SBI Securities explained that after confirming the user's intentions, the company will respond basically by returning the position to the state it would have been in if there had been no failure.
