-- 加拿大央行周三维持政策利率不变,这与预期相符,尽管通胀上升,但央行再次重申,将忽略伊朗战争对消费者价格指数的直接影响。 加拿大央行指出,尽管如果能源通胀蔓延并持续,央行仍随时准备应对,但显然这并非其基本预期。央行更新的预测显示,2026年全年所有项目通胀率上调了3个百分点,但加拿大央行下调了2026年核心通胀率的预测,与1月份相比有所下降。 由于2025年第四季度经济增长低于预期,且2026年第一季度经济增长放缓,加拿大央行被迫对其近期增长预测进行市值调整。 然而,尽管存在诸多不确定因素,加拿大央行仍然预期经济增长将会回升。 加拿大国家银行补充道,政策制定者或许会因第一季度商业展望调查(BOS)的积极表现而感到欣慰,该调查显示,至少在伊朗战争爆发前,市场乐观情绪正在增强。 加拿大央行的增长路径与最终加息相符,尽管加息时机仍不确定。该行指出,目前隔夜指数掉期(OIS)隐含的利率路径表明,年底前将加息一到两次,这远比上个月市场短暂预期的2026年加息超过75个基点更为现实。 然而,尽管第四季度加息的可能性存在,但加拿大国家银行仍然预计,加拿大央行要等到2027年才会开始向2.75%的中性利率水平靠拢。 总体而言,周三的利率决议基本符合预期。该行表示,加拿大央行目前将继续按兵不动,但其基本预期是最终加息而非降息。 加拿大央行的下一次政策决定将于6月10日做出。
