カナダの3月の商品貿易収支は、金属、金、エネルギー製品の輸出により予想外の黒字に転じた。

By

-- カナダ統計局は火曜日、カナダの対世界貿易収支が2月の51億ドルの赤字から3月には18億ドルの黒字に転じたと発表した。輸出は前月比8.5%増加し、輸入は1.6%減少した。 3月の黒字は2025年9月以来初めてで、MUFGが発表した市場予想の25億ドルの赤字を上回った。 カナダ統計局によると、イラン紛争による経済的影響をめぐる不確実性の中、一部の品目では急激な変動が見られた。 特に、金属・非金属鉱物製品とエネルギー製品の輸出が月間で最も大きく増加した。これら2つの品目を除くと、3月の輸出は前月比1.1%増と、より緩やかな増加にとどまった。 全体として、11の品目のうち7つの品目で増加が見られた。価格上昇は3月の輸出増加に大きな影響を与えた。実質(数量ベース)では、輸出総額は0.3%減少しました。 カナダ統計局によると、対米貿易黒字は3月に71億ドルに拡大し、2月の29億ドルから増加しました。輸出は8.3%増加し、輸入は1.2%減少しました。3月の黒字額は2025年9月以来の最高水準です。 対米貿易赤字は、2月の80億ドルから3月には53億ドルに縮小しました。輸出は9.1%増加し、輸入は2.2%減少しました。これは2021年1月以来の最小赤字です。

It added that NASA's updated lunar plans are promising but still at an early stage.The investment firm maintained its equal-weight rating on Firefly Aerospace and raised its price target to $37 from $33.Shares of Firefly were down nearly 2% in Tuesday trading.Price: $32.80, Change: $-0.57, Percent Change: -1.71%
