-- 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)在周二公佈數據後表示,油價飆升和黃金出口再次大幅成長是推動加拿大3月貿易收支重回順差的主要因素。 該行指出,除上述產品外,其他數據喜憂參半,但總體上與外部需求仍受美國關稅影響,但仍呈現企穩跡象的整體趨勢相符。 剔除價格因素,第一季整體出口仍較去年同期下降2.4%-其中,(高關稅的)鋼鐵和木材產品出口分別比去年同期下降50%和22%。但汽車出口已從年初的生產中斷中持續復甦。 剔除價格因素後,整體出口量自2025年3月以來首次略高於去年同期水準。 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)指出,第一季進口激增導致淨貿易額與第一季GDP成長相差4個百分點,但這與相對強勁的國內需求相符,其中包括工業設備和進口17%的年化成長率——這對加拿大企業投資而言是一個正面的訊號。 儘管未來幾個月美墨加協定(CUSMA)續簽談判可能加劇,貿易仍存在顯著的不確定性,但該行仍然預計,在基本假設下,2026年美國關稅環境將更加穩定——儘管部分產品的關稅稅率仍將顯著較高——這將使貿易對經濟增長的阻力小於2025年。 該行補充道,中東衝突推高了加拿大和國際家庭的生活成本,但油價上漲帶來的能源淨出口激增也顯著增加了流入產油區的收入。 加拿大皇家銀行對經濟的基本展望預計,加之加拿大央行先前降息措施的滯後影響以及政府支出計畫的增加,未來一年人均和人均經濟狀況將進一步改善。
