ブルームバーグ通信は16日、来週24日に見込まれる米中首脳会談に合わせた習近平中国国家主席の訪米に、中国電気自動車(EV)最大手・比亜迪(BYD)の王伝福会長が同行する可能性があると報じた。企業代表団の候補はハイテク、農業などの分野を含め十数社に上り、米国産品の購入拡大や対米投資を打ち出す狙いがあるとみられる。

トランプ米大統領は11日、米FOXニュースのインタビューで「中国が米国に進出し、ここで自動車生産工場を開きたいと言うなら、私は構わない」と語った。BYDはすでに西部カリフォルニア州で電気バスの生産工場を運営している。同行すれば、現地生産拡大への足掛かりとなる。

中国共産党序列5位の蔡奇政治局常務委員らが同行企業のリストを精査中で、流動的な側面もある。米国は中国製EVに100%超の関税を課し、中国メーカーの乗用車を事実上排除している。米国防総省はBYDを「中国軍事企業」に指定しており、米市場参入には国内の反対も根強い。

Federal Reserve raises policy interest rate by 0.25%, marking first rate hike in 3 years and 2 months

On the 16th, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) decided at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to raise the policy interest rate by 0.25% to 3.75-4.00%. This is the first interest rate hike in three years and two months since July 2023. In response to accelerating inflation due to high energy prices due to the deteriorating situation in the Middle East, the government changed its wait-and-see attitude. FOMC participants expect one more rate hike before the end of the year. The European Central Bank (ECB) decided to raise interest rates further on the 10th, and the Bank of Japan is also expected to raise interest rates by 0.25% at its monetary policy meeting on the 17th and 18th.

Crude oil import volume in August increased by 3.6% compared to the same month last year, shifting from dependence on the Middle East to the United States

According to preliminary trade statistics for August released by the Ministry of Finance, crude oil imports increased by 3.6% from the same month last year to 11.59 million kiloliters. Import volume decreased from April to June due to the tense situation in the Middle East, but alternative procurement from the United States increased, and the volume exceeded the previous year's level for the second time in July. On the other hand, the trade balance was in the red for 1,0105.6 billion yen, the fourth consecutive month in the red, due to the continued high cost of crude oil procurement. The amount of imports from the Middle East decreased by 30.9% from the previous year to 7.25 million kiloliters, and the amount of imports from the United States was 3.65 million kiloliters, more than seven times the previous year. The import unit price of crude oil is 102,687 yen per kiloliter, the fourth highest level on record, and continued high costs remain an issue.
