2026-01-23 21:28:00 米ドル、ユーロ、ポンドの紙幣。２０２５年５月撮影。REUTERS/Dado Ruvic ［ニューヨーク ２３日 ロイター］ – ニューヨーク外為市場では荒い値動きの中、円が対ドルで急伸し、終盤の取引で１５５．６６円と、約４週間ぶりの水準まで円高・ドル安が進んだ。円の突発的な急伸は少なくとも２回発生し、当局が為替介入の前段階となる「レートチェック」を実施したとの見方が広がっていた中、米ニューヨーク連銀が正午ごろにドル／円のレートチェックを実施したことが関係筋の話で分かった。 関係筋によると、ＮＹ連銀はドル／円相場を巡り一部カウンターパーティーに対しレートチェックを行った。NＹ連銀が米財務省の財務代理人として対応したという。 ドル／円は中盤の取引で１５７．５０円近辺で取引されていたが、終盤の取引で１５５．６６円まで下落。その後は１５５．８５円で推移している。 日銀が２３日の金融政策決定会合で政策金利の据え置きを決定し、植田和男総裁がその後の記者会見で追加利上げに積極姿勢を示さなかったことで、円相場は東京市場の取引で急落。ただその後、数分間のうちに１５７円前半まで円相場が急騰するなど、値動きの荒い展開になっていた。 バノックバーン・キャピタル・マーケッツのチーフマーケットストラテジスト、マーク・チャンドラー氏は「新たな材料が乏しい中、根底にある弱気ムードと介入警戒感以外、相場が動く要因は見当たらない」と指摘。市場では介入が引き続き警戒されているが、当局は銀行に対するレートチェックを行ったのみで、実際の介入は実施されていないとの見方が大勢となっている。 シルバー・ゴールド・ブルの外替・貴金属リスク管理ディレクター、エリック・ブレガー氏は「週末を控え状況を十分に把握できていないという不透明感の中、相場は神経質に反応している」との見方を示した。 終盤の取引で主要６通貨に対するドル指数は９７．５７１。ユーロ／ドルは０．５％高の１．１８１ドル。 表はＬＳＥＧデータに基づいています ※外為市場 私たちの行動規範：トムソン・ロイター「信頼の原則」, opens new tab
