OUSDステーブルコインが、Visa、Mastercard、Stripeの支援を受けて正式に始動したと、スコット・メルカー氏が「The Daily Wolf with Scott Melker」で伝えた。OUSD、すなわちOpen USDは、フィンテック企業と決済企業のコンソーシアムが独自のステーブルコインを立ち上げるもので、高金利が事実上の無料マネーを生み出す巨大市場で競争することを目指している。運営はStripeが担い、同社はユニコーン案件でBridgeを買収し、そのBridgeの最高経営責任者がブロックチェーンも統括している。このステーブルコインはEthereum、Solana、Base、Tempoを含む複数のブロックチェーンで始動し、流動性の大半はStripe自身のTempoブロックチェーンに集まると見込まれている。準備金はBlackRock、BNY、Lead Bankに保管される。5つの創設メンバー、すなわちCoinbase、Mastercard、Shopify、Stripe、Visaが株式を分割し、初期流動性として10億ドルを投資した。利用状況に応じて、彼らはステーブルコインからより多くの、あるいはより少ない株式や収益を得ることになり、収益はそれを支え利用する企業に帰属し、背後にある民間企業には帰属しない。この始動は、発表時にBlackRockなど140のロゴが登場したことで大きな議論を呼び、一部の企業はそれを聞いたことがなく、通達も受け取っていないと述べた。

ブラックロックのグローバル最高投資ストラテジスト、ウェイ・リー氏は、新しいAIエージェントの登場が「AI採用の波を触媒する」可能性があり、同社のAI希少性トレードを補強すると述べた。9月30日水曜日の「The Pulse with Francine Lacqua」のインタビューでリー氏は、ホルムズ海峡の石油流通の混乱が「マクロ的な損害」を生んでいると述べ、このエネルギー混乱が今年これまでに世界成長を50ベーシスポイント押し下げ、インフレ率を1%超押し上げたと推定し、原油よりも精製品の方が大きく反応していると指摘した。同氏はエネルギーをブラックロックのリスクオン見通しに対する「大きな懸念材料」と呼び、ハイパースケーラーが今年設備投資コミットメントを50%増やす中でのAI設備投資による資本獲得競争と、地政学的な分断が、債券の再価格設定と、1990年代以来見られなかった原油と金利の相関を引き起こしたと述べた。リー氏は、ブラックロックは長期デュレーション債を依然アンダーウェイトとしているが、カーブの短期および中間部分を好んでおり、より強気な新興国市場スタンスの中で中国株については概ね中立で、価格決定力を持つ先進製造業の輸出企業を選好していると述べた。米国労働市場について同氏は、損益分岐点の雇用創出が4万人に近いことを踏まえると、月平均7万人超の3カ月平均は弱いとは言えず、金曜日の非農業部門雇用統計を前に賃金とインフレの圧力が持続することを示唆していると述べた。

SCB WEALTHとSCBAMは「Exclusive Investment Talk : The Next Move ~市場を読み解き、あらゆる局面に対応する投資ソリューションへ~」と題するイベントを開催し、中東戦争による変動性の中でAIが依然として世界経済の原動力であるとの見方を示すとともに、投資家に対しSCBGMCORE(A)とSCBGOFIX(A)という2つの注目ファンドを通じたリスク分散を推奨した。SCBAMの投資戦略部門ディレクター、ピヤパット・パッタラプワドン氏は、国際通貨基金が今年の世界経済成長率を3%と予測しており、従来の予測からわずかに下方修正されたこと、そして2027年には成長が加速すると予想されることを明らかにした。世界経済はAI関連の計算インフラ投資に支えられ続けている一方、リスクとしては中東戦争がエネルギーのサプライチェーンに影響を与え、インフレを押し上げ、米連邦準備制度理事会の金融政策の方向性に影響を及ぼしている。SCBAMの投資商品開発部門ディレクター、ナワラット・ジアムキットルン氏は、SCBAMがブラックロックと協力し、SCBGMCORE(A)を通じてコア・ポートフォリオ向けのソリューションを開発したと述べた。同ファンドはリスクレベル5の混合型ファンドで、世界中の株式、債券、流動性のあるオルタナティブ資産に幅広く投資し、ポートフォリオを分散型ETFコア、流動性オルタナティブ、そしてブラックロック独自の専有モデルであるボラティリティ・コントロール戦略の3つの部分に分けている。一方、高いリスクを取れない投資家には、リスクレベル4の債券ファンドであるSCBGOFIX(A)という選択肢がある。これは100%債券に投資し、1兆1000億米ドル超の資産を運用するブラックロックのグローバル債券運用チームが運用している。
