原油先物、過去最大の上げ幅　１万円超上昇―東京市場

　東京商品取引所では７日、中東産（ドバイ）原油先物相場が急騰し、前週末と比べた上げ幅は１キロリットル当たり１万円を超え、過去最大となった。ウクライナ情勢の悪化を受け、ロシア産原油の供給懸念が一段と広がった。原油高による物価上昇の恐れもさらに強まっている。
　取引の中心となる８月決済物は、前週末比１万０５３０円高の７万７２４０円で終了。２００８年９月のリーマン・ショック直前からおよそ１３年半ぶりの高値を付けた。前営業日からの上げ幅は、これまで最大だった２０年４月２３日の５０９０円を大幅に上回った。（2022/03/07-17:07）

The benchmark Dubai crude oil futures contract on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, or TOCOM, surged on Monday, posting the biggest-ever daily increase of over 10,000 yen per kiloliter.
   The rise came as concerns grew further over the disruption of crude oil supply from Russia due to the deteriorating situation over Ukraine amid Moscow's continued invasion of the neighboring country. The soaring crude prices are stoking worries over higher prices of oil products and other goods.
   The contract for August delivery shot up 10,530 yen from Friday to end at 77,240 yen per kiloliter, the highest level since just before the September 2008 collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers. The rise was far larger than the previous record of 5,090 yen, posted on April 23, 2020.
   The consensus view among market participants is that crude oil prices will rise further unless Russia and Ukraine agree to a ceasefire.
   On the Osaka Exchange on Monday, the key gold futures contract, currently for February 2023 delivery, briefly jumped to hit a record intraday high of 7,377 yen per gram. The safe-haven precious metal attracted purchases amid uncertainties over the global economy.
