-- 根據卡加利房地產委員會 (CREB) 提供的卡加利經濟區數據，加拿大國家銀行估計，經季節性調整後，3 月至 4 月的房屋銷售額反彈了 6.8%，此前一個月下降了 5.9%。 儘管有所增長，但房屋銷售額基本上恢復到 2 月份的水平，這是自新冠疫情爆發以來最低的水平之一，但仍高於歷史平均水平。加拿大國家銀行上週指出。 加拿大國家銀行認為，當月銷售額的成長更像是先前大幅下滑後的反彈，而非上升趨勢的開始。 儘管加拿大央行在秋季降息，但卡加利房地產市場的短期內似乎沒有復甦跡象，這可能是由於持續的經濟不確定性以及最近的地緣政治動盪所致。 該銀行補充道，如果貿易關係改善，該地區勞動力市場的強勁表現以及消費者信心的潛在提振可能會刺激住宅市場活動。 然而，國家銀行指出，近期由於通膨上升導致固定抵押貸款利率上漲，可能會限制這一復甦。

EMEA Oil Update: Crude Climbs as Traders Assess Project Freedom
Crude oil futures rose on Monday as traders showed skepticism that the US Project Freedom initiative can restore normal trade through the Strait of Hormuz.Front-month Murban crude futures rose 1.7% to $105.49 per barrel, while Brent futures were up by 2.2% to $110.59/bbl."The market is steadier at the start of the new trading week, despite continued noise around developments in the Persian Gulf," ING said.Sentiment was briefly shaken by the announcement of 'Project Freedom', a US plan to guide commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz.However, initial sell-offs were quickly reversed as the market looked unconvinced by the plan's scope.Analysts note that without active US Navy escorts for inbound vessels, the move likely only provides temporary relief by clearing out existing floating storage rather than restoring normal trade flows.Supply concerns are further exacerbated by a lack of progress in diplomatic channels and shifts within OPEC+.Although the group announced a 188,000 b/d supply increase for June, its first meeting since the UAE's surprise exit, market experts doubt the full volume will reach the market.Over half of the scheduled increase is tied to Persian Gulf producers currently restricted by the Strait of Hormuz blockade.With President Trump reportedly labeling Iran's latest peace proposal "unacceptable" and Tehran refusing to discuss nuclear terms until port blockades are lifted, crude prices continue to hold a significant risk premium.
