加拿大央行的商业和消费者调查显示,伊朗战争前夕市场情绪乐观,普遍存在通缩观点,罗森伯格研究公司称。

-- 加拿大央行周一发布的《第一季度商业展望调查》(BOS)显示,在伊朗冲突爆发前,加拿大商界领袖并不担心通胀,而且经济乐观情绪有所增强,罗森伯格研究公司(Rosenberg Research)表示。 该调查主要在2月5日至25日期间进行,因此数据略显“过时”,但罗森伯格研究公司指出,调查结果仍然显示出较为平稳的通胀基线趋势,值得通胀鹰派人士关注。 罗森伯格指出,总体扩散指数从2025年第四季度的-1.78大幅改善至-0.36,虽然仍处于收缩状态,但却是自2022年第四季度以来的最强劲信号。 商界领袖普遍更加乐观:预期未来销售额增长的净比例从13%增长至25%,为2024年第四季度以来的最高水平;预期机械设备投资的净比例从14%飙升至29%,为2024年第四季度以来的最高水平。未来就业预期从16%上升至38%,为2023年第一季度以来的最高水平。 与此同时,罗森伯格补充道,通胀指标“较为平静”。认为投入价格通胀净占比从12%大幅下滑至2%,而产出价格通胀净占比也从6%降至-8%。 认为同比通胀率超过3.0%的占比从16%降至11%,为2020年第四季度(新冠疫情最严重时期)以来的最低水平。罗森伯格表示,供应端瓶颈的迹象“微弱”,仅有36%的受访者认为满足需求“有些困难”,高于2025年第四季度的27%。 加拿大央行还发布了消费者预期调查(CSCE),该调查第一季度的CSCE指数从-1.00小幅上升至-0.77,但已连续第18个季度保持负值。罗森伯格表示,企业领导人可能对劳动力市场更为乐观,但消费者却并非如此,劳动力市场指数从-0.11降至-0.13。一年期通胀预期也从4.1%小幅下调至4.0%。 虽然这项主要调查的数据也已过时——调查时间为2月5日至2月25日,即伊朗战争于2月28日爆发之前——但加拿大央行在3月26日至4月2日期间进行了补充调查。消费者普遍感到担忧,81%的受访者认为战争会导致通胀加剧,21%的受访者表示已取消或推迟旅行,28%的受访者表示因冲突而削减了开支。
