ペテルブルグ国際経済フォーラムの枠内でロシア石油大手の「ロスネフチ」のセチン会長はアジア太平洋地域の市場は同社にとって戦略的であり、現在、日本と韓国向けの石油輸出量を拡大中だと指摘した。
セチン会長は「アジア太平洋地域の市場は戦略的なものだ。我々はこの市場で作業を続けていく。欧州市場における供給が多極化したことで我々はバランスをとるためにも市場のボラティリティに対応していく意味でもアジア太平洋地域の市場の多極化を模索せざるをえなくなった。我々は中国向けの輸出を拡大したが、現在、日本と韓国向けの輸出を拡大中であり、太平洋地域にも進出している。これはインドにおけるわが社の躍進に関係している」と語っている。
昨日ペテルブルクで開幕した国際経済フォーラムでは日本代表団は世耕産業相が団長を務めている。

On January 20, 2001, hours before leaving office, U.S. President Bill Clinton granted Rich a highly controversial presidential pardon. Several of Clinton's strongest supporters distanced themselves from the decision.[23] Former President Jimmy Carter, a fellow Democrat, said, "I don't think there is any doubt that some of the factors in his pardon were attributable to his large gifts. In my opinion, that was disgraceful."[24] Clinton himself later expressed regret for issuing the pardon, saying that "it wasn't worth the damage to my reputation."[9]
Clinton's critics alleged that Rich's pardon had been bought, as Denise Rich had given more than $1 million[25] to Clinton's political party (the Democratic Party), including more than $100,000 to the Senate campaign of the president's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and $450,000 to the Clinton Library foundation during Clinton's time in office.[21]
Clinton also cited clemency pleas he had received from Israeli government officials, including then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Rich had made substantial donations to Israeli charitable foundations over the years, and many senior Israeli officials, such as Shimon Peres and Ehud Olmert, argued on his behalf behind the scenes.[26] Speculation about another rationale for Rich's pardon involved his alleged involvement with the Israeli intelligence community.[27][28] Rich reluctantly acknowledged in interviews with his biographer, Daniel Ammann, that he had assisted the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service,[4][13] a claim that Ammann said was confirmed by a former Israeli intelligence officer.[12] According to Ammann, Rich had helped finance the Mossad's operations and had supplied Israel with strategic amounts of Iranian oil through a secret oil pipeline.[4] The aide to Rich who had persuaded Denise Rich to personally ask President Clinton to review Rich's pardon request was a former chief of the Mossad, Avner Azulay.[22][29] Another former Mossad chief, Shabtai Shavit, had also urged Clinton to pardon Rich,[30] whom he said had routinely allowed intelligence agents to use his offices around the world.[17]
Federal Prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to investigate Clinton's last-minute pardon of Rich.[31] She stepped down before the investigation was finished and was replaced by James Comey, who was critical of Clinton's pardons and of then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder's pardon recommendation.[32] Rich's lawyer, Jack Quinn, had previously been Clinton's White House Counsel and chief of staff to Clinton's Vice President, Al Gore, and had had a close relationship with Holder.[22] According to Quinn, Holder had advised that standard procedures be bypassed and the pardon petition be submitted directly to the White House.[33][Notes 2] Congressional investigations were also launched. Clinton's top advisors, Chief of Staff John Podesta, White House Counsel Beth Nolan, and advisor Bruce Lindsey, testified that nearly all of the White House staff advising the president on the pardon request had urged Clinton to not grant Rich a pardon.[29] Federal investigators ultimately found no evidence of criminal activity.[30]
As a condition of the pardon, it was made clear that Rich would drop all procedural defenses against any civil actions brought against him by the United States upon his return there. That condition was consistent with the position that his alleged wrongdoing warranted only civil penalties, not criminal punishment. Rich never returned to the United States.[9]
In a February 18, 2001 op-ed essay in The New York Times, Clinton (by then out of office) explained why he had pardoned Rich, noting that U.S. tax professors Bernard Wolfman of the Harvard Law School and Martin Ginsburg of Georgetown University Law Center had concluded that no crime had been committed, and that Rich's companies' tax-reporting position had been reasonable.[19] In the same essay, Clinton listed Lewis "Scooter" Libby as one of three "distinguished Republican lawyers" who supported a pardon for Rich. (Libby himself later received a presidential commutation for his involvement in the Plame affair.) During Congressional hearings after Rich's pardon, Libby, who had represented Rich from 1985 until the spring of 2000, denied that Rich had violated the tax laws but criticized him for trading with Iran at a time when that country was holding U.S. hostages.[35]
On November 1, 2016, the FBI released documents related to the pardon, stating it was an FOIA release.[36]
米株式市場は上昇、コミー氏の証言文書に予想外の内容含まれずロイター Business | 2017年 06月 8日 06:50 JST 関連トピックス: ビジネス, トップニュース
［ニューヨーク ７日 ロイター］ - 米国株式市場は反発して引けた。コミー前米連邦捜査局（ＦＢＩ）長官が８日に行う議会証言の内容が明らかになったが、米大統領選でのトランプ陣営とロシアとの関係について特段新たな事実は含まれていなかったと受け止められ、安心感から買いが優勢となった。
コミー氏が上院特別情報委員会で行う証言の内容が事前に委員会のウェブサイトで公開された。この中でコミー氏は、フリン前大統領補佐官の捜査から手を引くようトランプ氏から要請を受け、「忠誠が必要だ、忠誠を期待している」と言われたと明かした。
市場では、コミー氏の証言で新事実が明らかになり、税制改革や規制緩和などトランプ氏の経済政策の実行が一段と難しくなるとの懸念が広がっていた。
エンパイア・エグゼキューションズのピーター・コスタ社長は「投資家は（コミー氏の証言に）火に油を注ぐような内容がないよう望んでいた」と指摘。「証言内容はそれほどひどいものではなかった」と述べ、トランプ氏がさらに対応を迫られるような具体的な内容はなく、市場に安心感が広がったとした。
与党・保守党のリードが縮小している英総選挙や欧州中央銀行（ＥＣＢ）の理事会など、８日に予定されているイベントが引き続き投資家の注目を集めている。
セクター別ではエネルギー株が全般に軟調。米エネルギー省が発表した週間在庫統計で原油在庫が予想外に増加し、原油価格が急落したため。Ｓ＆Ｐエネルギー株指数.SPNYは２％近く下落し、同指数を構成する３４銘柄のうち３２銘柄が下げた。
個別銘柄では、宝飾品の米シグネット・ジュエラーズ(SIG.N)が４％上昇。半面、石油・天然ガス開発のニューフィールド・エクスプロレーション(NFX.N)は７％下げた。
騰落銘柄数は、ニューヨーク証券取引所では下げ銘柄が上げ銘柄を上回り、比率は１．１２対１だった。ナスダックは１．１３対１で上げが下げを上回った。
