受伊朗战争可能接近尾声的报道影响,美元和收益率回落,黄金价格走高。

By

-- 周三早盘,受伊朗和美国即将达成结束战争协议以及美国私营部门上月招聘人数激增的报道提振,美元和收益率大幅走低,金价上涨。 6月交割的黄金期货价格上涨123.10美元,至每盎司4691.60美元。 贵金属价格上涨的原因是,有报道称伊朗和美国即将达成结束敌对行动的谈判协议,美国总统特朗普随后证实了这一消息。特朗普在社交媒体上发文称,如果伊朗同意美国的和平提议,战争“将会结束”,霍尔木兹海峡将重新开放通航。 由于市场预期该协议将重新开放霍尔木兹海峡(波斯湾国家每日20%石油供应的咽喉要道),缓解了人们对供应冲击导致通胀上升和利率走高的担忧,油价大幅下跌。 盛宝银行指出:“在外国压力和国内反对战争的呼声日益高涨的双重压力下,华盛顿正将重心转向重新开放海峡。” 美国私营部门4月份招聘人数激增,ADP全国就业报告显示,上月私营部门新增就业岗位10.9万个,高于3月份的6.1万个,也高于Marketwatch此前预测的8.4万个。 美元早盘大幅走低,ICE美元指数最新下跌0.51点至97.93。美国国债收益率也出现下跌,两年期国债收益率最新下跌6.2个基点至3.888%,十年期国债收益率下跌6.6个基点至4.364%。

Montreal's Housing Market In Better Shape Than Others in Canada, Says National Bank

According to National Bank of Canada's preliminary estimate based on Centris data, seasonally adjusted home sales in Montreal fell by 9.0% from March to April, marking the sharpest decline since October 2023, when buyers were bracing for potential interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada.Despite this decline, the Montreal market continues to compare favorably with other major Canadian cities, thanks in particular to its better affordability conditions; transaction levels in Montreal in April were at their historical average, while they were 26.5% below average in Toronto and 31.5% below in Vancouver.Although the sluggishness of the Quebec economy and the persistent commercial and geopolitical uncertainty in the background could explain part of the slowdown observed in April, the bank believes that the lingering winter conditions in April may have played a role.Indeed, to support this hypothesis, National Bank notes the decline across all property segments and the decreases recorded in most of the province's major cities. Upcoming data for May could confirm the validity of this theory.However, the bad weather doesn't seem to have dampened sellers' enthusiasm, as the bank estimates that new listings increased by 4.2% between March and April. Combined with the decline in sales, this resulted in a 3.9% increase in active listings, marking the fourth consecutive monthly rise.Overall, market conditions, as measured by the ratio of active listings to sales, eased considerably during the month and moved into balanced territory.However, this situation could be temporary if transactions rebound in May, which could tighten market conditions, it added.
