-- 加拿大国家银行表示,本周加拿大国库券发行总量将增至300亿加元,比上年增加20亿加元。 其中,加拿大央行将购买3亿加元,占发行总量的1%。该行指出,包括现金管理票据在内,将于周二到期的310亿加元国库券将不再有新增供应。到本周末,国库券存量将达到2850亿加元。 政府的春季经济展望报告下调了国库券存量目标。加拿大国家银行表示,预计到2027年3月底,未偿付国库券存量将达到2680亿加元。据估计,平均每次拍卖规模为220亿加元即可实现这一目标。 该行指出,实际上,拍卖规模会有所不同,并且在未来几个月内可能会保持高位(部分原因是为6月、8月和9月到期的债券提供资金),之后在秋季才会有所回落。 自上次拍卖以来,随着油价上涨,市场对加拿大央行加息的预期有所回升,市场对4月底央行决议的解读也趋于鹰派。事实上,投资者尤其关注麦克勒姆在新闻发布会上的表态,他威胁称,如果油价持续上涨、居高不下并演变为持续的普遍通胀,央行将“连续”加息。 央行补充道,这当然是一个风险。然而,很明显,这远非央行的基本预期。作为决议的一部分,央行还提供了最新的经济和通胀预测。值得注意的是,央行下调了2026年核心通胀预期。 因此,尽管加拿大央行承认,随着汽油价格上涨,整体通胀势必上升,但央行认为通胀不会“扩散”到非能源价格领域。加拿大国家银行补充道,如果冲突不再进一步升级,央行应该会看到油价逐步回落,这将有助于缓解市场对加息的预期。 最终,该银行仍然预计加拿大央行在 2027 年之前不会采取行动,尽管很明显,风险倾向于提前收紧货币政策。
