加拿大帝國商業銀行(CIBC)預計,加拿大消費者支出短期內將放緩甚至停滯,利率將維持不變。

-- 「消費者的消費動向通常決定了利率的走向,」加拿大帝國商業銀行(CIBC)安德魯·格蘭瑟姆在本週的「展望未來一周」專欄中寫道。 格蘭瑟姆表示,在當前環境下尤其如此,因為強勁的消費支出將使更多公司能夠把成本上漲轉嫁給消費者,從而可能引發通膨壓力擴大,進而促使加拿大央行採取行動。他也補充道,根據近期零售銷售數據,第一季消費者商品支出創下自2024年底以來的最佳季度表現,人均支出也達到2021年以來的最高水準。 然而,加拿大帝國商業銀行(CIBC)認為,短期內消費者支出更有可能放緩甚至停滯,這將降低通膨壓力傳導的可能性,並使利率在2026年之前保持穩定。 格蘭瑟姆表示:「首先,近期的消費激增似乎建立在不穩固的基礎之上,這增加了支出再次降溫或過去的強勁勢頭僅僅是統計誤差的可能性。即使在近期汽油價格飆升推高通膨之前,由於疲軟的勞動力市場對名義收入的影響,實際上可支配收入在2025年最後一個季度就已經下降。 「但我們已經必須考慮近期汽油價格飆升的負面影響,自3月初以來,平均而言,此次飆升已使家庭損失約0.7%的收入。」年度總收入。雖然聯邦燃油消費稅的暫時中止有所幫助,但除非西德克薩斯輕質原油(WTI)價格回落至每桶75美元左右(距離目前的水平還有很長的路要走),否則它無法完全抵消全球油價上漲帶來的壓力。 「聯邦政府即將推出另一項援助措施,提高對低收入和中等收入家庭的福利(並將其更名為加拿大食品和必需品福利),同時還將在6月初發放一次性補貼。對於領取這項補貼的家庭來說,這筆錢或許能夠抵消油價上漲迄今為止對他們錢包造成的損失。然而,這筆補貼總額僅佔可支配收入的約0.3%,不足以抵消目前消費能力的負面影響。 「因此,總體而言,家庭支出更有可能再次放緩,而不是繼續近期的成長勢頭。要看到更樂觀的前景,我們需要聯邦政府或省政府更快地降低汽油價格和/或採取進一步的支持措施。今天公佈的3月份零售銷售預估值可能已經預示著經濟增速放緩。雖然0.6%的名義增長率可能略有增長,但實際銷量增長可能略有下降。 「加拿大央行下週不會急於就汽油價格上漲是否會引發更廣泛的通膨壓力做出明確判斷。屆時發布的貨幣政策報告很可能延續3月份會議的基調,預測近期總體通脹率將出現飆升,但核心通脹率的上升幅度要小得多,也更為緩慢。消費者支出預測的任何改善都可能僅僅反映了第一季度對支出的強勁趨勢
