三菱日联金融集团表示,全球风险状况是影响加元前景的关键因素。

By

-- 三菱日联银行(MUFG)表示,与几乎所有G10货币一样,加元(CAD或加元)在4月份兑美元(USD)走强,尽管原油价格持续高企,但全球风险情绪已转为更为乐观。 该行在其5月份的《外汇展望》中写道,全球股市强劲反弹,高企的原油价格尚未促使投资者将全球经济衰退的可能性增加纳入考量。 三菱日联银行指出,实际原油价格仍然相对较低,而且在中东冲突爆发前,全球原油库存量巨大(82亿桶),这有助于抑制能源价格的飙升。但该行补充道,随着时间的推移,金融市场波动性加剧的风险也在增加。 该行表示,加元的韧性在一定程度上反映了贸易条件的支撑,但其他不确定因素正在抵消这种支撑作用。 与美联储一样,加拿大央行似乎更倾向于关注能源价格上涨对通胀的影响之外的其他因素,因此加息速度可能会比较缓慢。加拿大央行行长蒂夫·麦克勒姆在4月份的会议后表示,维持“接近当前水平”的政策利率有利于通胀回归目标。然而,三菱日联银行指出,麦克勒姆明确表示,如果通胀持续,则必须采取行动。 三菱日联银行表示,与美联储的策略相一致,意味着两年期美加互换利差可以继续在相对狭窄的区间内波动,这与美元/加元汇率也维持在狭窄区间内波动相一致。 该行补充道,如果冲突再度升级,股市波动加剧,加元将表现不佳。 该行下调美元/加元汇率预测是基于局势缓和以及原油价格逐步下跌的预期,因此,如果冲突持续时间更长,美元/加元汇率可能走高。

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Opinion On Shares Of Carpenter Technology To Buy From Strong Buy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month target price by $7 to $508, on an EV/EBITDA of 18.5x our FY 28 (June) EBITDA estimate, in line with CRS's average forward EV/EBITDA during the trailing 12 months of 18.6x. We raise our EPS estimates: FY 26 by $0.07 to $10.64, FY 27 by $0.62 to $13.84 and FY 28 by $0.08 to $16.60. CRS remains exceptionally well-positioned as the aerospace cycle accelerates, with structural demand inflecting and engine orders surging amid tightening nickel-based superalloy supply. We expect sustained pricing power and further margin expansion as SAO segment profitability targets 40%+ longer-term. The $400M brownfield expansion adds only modest capacity versus industry deficits, preserving favorable supply-demand dynamics through FY 28+. However, shares now trade well above historical EV/EBITDA multiples, prompting our downgrade despite strong fundamentals. After the 112% increase in share price in the last year, we think CRS is baking in most of the positive fundamentals, leaving less potential upside.

Market Chatter: Siemens Energy, GE Vernova Raise Payment Risks for Venezuela Power Rebuild

Venezuela's $100 billion grid rebuild push faces setbacks as firms question payments, with under 13,000 megawatts available from a capacity of 36,000 MW, Reuters reported Monday, citing two sources involved in talks.Executives from Siemens Energy and GE Vernova (GEV) raised payment concerns during April meetings in Caracas, prompting financiers to be cautious about supporting grid upgrades.Those concerns weakened confidence in Venezuela's effort to revive infrastructure under a $100 billion reconstruction plan backed by Washington.Interim President Delcy Rodriguez is prioritizing reliable electricity after taking office in January, but the government has not secured firm payment guarantees for contractors.An executive who attended the Caracas meeting said a decade of neglected plants created massive repair needs, while authorities still lack a clear payment mechanism for suppliers.Available generation remains below 40%, driving repeated outages and restricting industrial output nationwide, according to the report.Thermal plant expansion through 2013 under Hugo Chavez left billions of dollars unpaid to contractors, many of whom authorities are now urging to return.Unclear project priorities, equipment needs, and approval requirements from both Washington and Caracas continue to delay investment decisions, the report added, citing the sources.Venezuela operates less than 13,000 MW from a total installed capacity of 36,000 MW, with fuel-based plants accounting for about 2,500 MW, or roughly 13% of capacity.Rodriguez is targeting repairs at two major thermal plants in early phases, though officials have yet to outline a broader recovery strategy.Multinational companies remain cautious about returning to Venezuela after past disputes during the Hugo Chavez era, when unpaid contracts eroded trust and discouraged future engagement.Several firms that did not receive cash payments pursued arbitration or filed legal claims abroad after accepting promissory notes, which they later sold at steep discounts.Rodriguez's government turned down a proposal from foreign firms that requested upfront payments for repairs and spare parts, while some financiers proposed routing payments through US Treasury-supervised oil revenue accounts, the report added, citing sources.has reached out to Siemens Energy, GE Vernova and PDVSA for any comments.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
