公的年金運用、８．９兆円の黒字　円安で海外株式・債券好調―４～６月期

　公的年金を運用する年金積立金管理運用独立行政法人（ＧＰＩＦ）は２日、２０２４年４～６月期の運用損益が８兆９７３２億円の黒字だったと発表した。円安進行を背景に、海外の株式や債券による運用益が伸びた。
　黒字は３四半期連続で、収益率は３．６５％だった。保有資産別の損益額では、外国株式が米国の半導体関連株の上昇や円安による押し上げ効果で６兆６５８億円の黒字となった。外国債券は長期金利の上昇（債券価格は下落）で落ち込んだ分を円安進行によって補い、３兆３０３５億円の黒字を確保した。国内株式は株価の堅調を受け、１兆９２５億円の黒字だった。（2024/08/02-17:46）

Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund on Friday reported an investment profit of 8,973.2 billion yen for April-June, reflecting gains in overseas stocks and bonds amid the yen's weakness.
   The GPIF was in the black for the third consecutive quarter, posting an investment return of 3.65 pct.
   Gains on holdings of overseas stocks came to 6,065.8 billion yen, boosted by rises in U.S. semiconductor-related stocks and a weaker yen. Gains on foreign bonds totaled 3,303.5 billion yen, with the positive impact of a weaker yen offsetting the negative impact of higher interest rates.
   Domestic equities produced a profit of 1,092.5 billion yen, while domestic bonds incurred a loss of 1,488.6 trillion yen as long-term interest rates rose on the Bank of Japan's decision to end its massive monetary easing measures.
   The GPIF's cumulative profit since it began investing in the stock and bond markets in fiscal 2001 has reached 162,770.8 billion yen. As of the end of June, its assets under management totaled 254,702.7 billion yen.
