By

-- カナダのマーク・カーニー首相は月曜日、オタワでの記者会見で、カナダ初の国家ソブリン・ウェルス・ファンド「カナダ・ストロング・ファンド」の設立を発表した。 自由党が多数を占める連邦政府は、このファンドに250億ドルを拠出する予定で、カーニー首相は、このファンドは「将来のカナダ国民の富を増やすために設計された、国家貯蓄・投資口座」として機能すると述べた。発表の中でカーニー首相は、カナダと米国政権との経済関係が変化したことに触れ、「それは彼らの権利だ」と述べ、カナダ政府は北米の隣国との関係に頼ることなく、国内経済を成長させる新たな方法を模索することで、この変化に対応していると強調した。「それが我々の喫緊の課題だ」とカーニー首相は述べた。

HCA Healthcare Pressure Expected to Persist Through Q2 on Managed Care Rotation, RBC Says

HCA Healthcare (HCA) may face near-term pressure through at least the first half as investors rotate toward managed care, although better trends in March and in-line exchange dynamics support the longer-term outlook, RBC Capital Markets said.The company's weaker-than-expected Q1, driven by lower respiratory volume and weather-related disruption, has increased near-term concern around hospital volumes and patient mix.RBC said in a Sunday note that it expects Friday's share price decline to persist through Q2 as management works to demonstrate execution against growth targets and as investors await further clarity on the impact of ePTC expiry.The investment firm said March volumes improved meaningfully while exchange-related pressure remains manageable. HIX declines reflect both lost volume and patients in grace periods already incorporated into bad debt reserves. Surgical and outpatient trends remain broadly consistent with its full-year outlook, according to the note.RBC reiterated its outperform rating and lowered its price target to $534 from $593, citing increased caution on near-term hospital volume and mix dynamics and a broader rotation toward managed care.Price: $439.41, Change: $+6.95, Percent Change: +1.61%
