-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场(RBC Capital Markets)周五发布的《加元周报(利率与外汇)》指出,本周“事件频发”,基本符合预期,财政状况“保持稳定”,加拿大央行维持利率不变,且第一季度GDP“继续高于潜在水平”。 该行表示,加拿大央行的鹰派立场强化了其对美元/加元长期逐步下跌的观点。然而,该行补充道,加拿大央行和美联储近期的会议表明,短期内双方都将维持利率不变,美元/加元汇率将呈现区间震荡走势。 在利率方面,加拿大皇家银行表示,加拿大央行本周维持利率不变的预期得以实现,但整体而言,政策变化偏向鹰派。加拿大央行小幅上调了GDP预期,指出预期中的疲软产能已被消化,并表示尽管2.25%-3.25%的利率区间保持不变,但中性利率区间的讨论已趋于上调。 加拿大皇家银行(RBC)表示,其维持长期以来的观点,即加拿大央行在2026年维持利率不变,并在2027年加息。但该行补充说,下半年加息的可能性远大于降息的可能性。 关于外汇市场,RBC表示,加拿大央行本周略微偏鹰的立场强化了其对美元/加元汇率明年将逐步走低的长期预期,部分原因是加拿大央行在2027年转向加息,而2026年下半年则存在风险。 然而,该行表示,短期内美元/加元汇率仍将维持区间震荡,因为央行会议表明,加拿大央行和美联储未来几个月可能维持利率不变,从而使美加利率差保持相对稳定。这应会继续支撑美元/加元汇率,1.3500区域被视为区间底部。 加拿大皇家银行补充道,美元/加元周线收盘价若跌破1.3598,则巩固了其下跌趋势,并可能再次测试年内低点1.3526和1.3482。 “若跌破这些低点,则可能下探2024年9月低点1.3420。初步阻力位在1.3598和1.3661,其次是1.3728,反弹至后两个水平被视为卖出机会。”加拿大皇家银行资本市场首席技术策略师乔治·戴维斯表示。

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.
