加拿大皇家銀行預計美元/加幣短期內將維持區間震盪,長期將逐步下跌。

By

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)週五發布的《加元週報(利率與外匯)》指出,本週“事件頻發”,基本上符合預期,財政狀況“保持穩定”,加拿大央行維持利率不變,且第一季GDP“繼續高於潛在水平”。 該行表示,加拿大央行的鷹派立場強化了其對美元/加幣長期逐步下跌的觀點。然而,該行補充道,加拿大央行和聯準會近期的會議表明,短期內雙方都將維持利率不變,美元/加元匯率將呈現區間震盪走勢。 在利率方面,加拿大皇家銀行表示,加拿大央行本週維持利率不變的預期得以實現,但整體而言,政策變化偏向鷹派。加拿大央行小幅上調了GDP預期,指出預期中的疲軟產能已被消化,並表示儘管2.25%-3.25%的利率區間保持不變,但中性利率區間的討論已趨於上調。 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)表示,其維持長期以來的觀點,即加拿大央行在2026年維持利率不變,並在2027年升息。但該行補充說,下半年升息的可能性遠大於降息的可能性。 關於外匯市場,RBC表示,加拿大央行本週略微偏鷹的立場強化了其對美元/加元匯率明年將逐步走低的長期預期,部分原因是加拿大央行在2027年轉向加息,而2026年下半年則存在風險。 然而,該行表示,短期內美元/加元匯率仍將維持區間震盪,因為央行會議表明,加拿大央行和聯準會未來幾個月可能維持利率不變,從而使美加利率差保持相對穩定。這應會繼續支撐美元/加幣匯率,1.3500區域被視為區間底部。 加拿大皇家銀行補充道,美元/加元週線收盤價若跌破1.3598,則鞏固了其下跌趨勢,並可能再次測試年內低點1.3526和1.3482。 「若跌破這些低點,可能下探2024年9月低點1.3420。初步阻力位在1.3598和1.3661,其次是1.3728,反彈至後兩個水準被視為賣出機會。」加拿大皇家銀行資本市場首席技術策略師喬治戴維斯表示。

Big Oil Warns of Further Price Surge as Hormuz Disruption Drains Buffers

Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) and ConocoPhillips (COP) have warned that global energy markets may face further price increases as supply buffers are rapidly being depleted amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz disruption, Bloomberg reported on Friday.Executives said inventories, strategic reserves and floating storage have helped cushion prices so far, but those supplies are now running low, reducing the market's ability to absorb prolonged supply shocks.Chevron's CFO told Bloomberg that much of the spare capacity has already been used, leaving limited leeway if the disruption continues, while Exxon's CEO warned markets have yet to fully reflect the scale of the supply hit.With roughly a fifth of global oil and LNG flows typically passing through the strait, companies indicated that a prolonged closure could push crude prices significantly higher.

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Opinion On Shares Of Quanta Services, Inc. To Hold From Buy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $158 to $773, which is 52.6x our next-12-month EPS estimate of $14.70. We also lift our 2026 EPS by $0.93 to $14.31 and 2027's by $1.18 to $16.74. Our move to Hold partially reflects our difficulty in justifying valuation levels that could offer sufficient upside after surging 15.8% on Q1 results. Both sides of the valuation equation in our updated $773 target are considerably higher than those in our prior $615 target, which was calculated using a 46.0x multiple on $13.38 EPS. Even after increasing the multiple by 14.3% and EPS by 9.9%, we only see ~4% upside at current levels. While PWR's fundamentals remain strong with record backlog and solid execution, the risk/reward profile has shifted to neutral. This is due to mounting concerns around data center project delays/cancellations (industry estimates suggest 30%-50% of 2026 projects are at risk), increasing exposure to fixed-price contract cost overruns, and growing difficulty collecting disputed change orders from customers.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Entergy Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $13 to $117, 26.0x our next-12-month EPS estimate of $4.49, a premium to its five-year forward average of 18x. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.01 to $4.40 and our 2027 EPS view by $0.07 to $4.95. ETR maintained its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.25-$4.45 (midpoint of $4.35) and raised 2027-2029 guidance by $0.20-$0.50, with 2029 adjusted EPS now expected at $6.40. The company's enhanced earnings trajectory and substantial capital deployment position it well for sustained growth, in our view. Key execution items to monitor include regulatory approval of the Louisiana Lightning filing (expected December 2026), sourcing the remaining $4.7B in equity through 2029, and construction execution on seven new combined-cycle plants by 2030-2031. We anticipate dividend growth will remain competitive with peers (5.2% CAGR from 2025 to 2028), though we think recent share price and valuation advances have reduced near-term upside potential relative to peers.
