-- 多伦多证券交易所周三从前一日的暴跌中反弹,受大麻股和大宗商品价格上涨的提振,尽管加拿大国家银行表示,大宗商品对实体经济的积极影响预计有限。 资源型股票为主的S&P/TSX综合指数收盘上涨146.81点,涨幅0.4%,报33,955.11点。此前,该指数周二下跌近550点,这是近16个交易日以来的第三次下跌。 多数板块上涨,其中医疗保健板块领涨,涨幅达6.6%,此前有报道称,美国司法部将于本周放宽对大麻市场的限制。个股方面,Curaleaf (CURA.TO)股价飙升25%。 其他板块方面,基本金属板块上涨3.7%,电信板块上涨2.75%。电池金属指数下跌5.8%。 加拿大国家银行发布了题为《大宗商品繁荣能否重振经济?》的月度经济监测报告。报告指出,大宗商品价格飙升正在提振加拿大资源行业的贸易条件、公共财政和企业利润。但报告也表示,其对实体经济的积极影响预计有限。报告补充道:“尽管能源和大宗商品价格大幅上涨,但资源行业并非劳动密集型产业,且缺乏投资激励,因此不太可能创造大量就业机会,而包括制造业在内的其他行业依然疲软。” 与此同时,报告指出,消费者面临诸多不利因素,包括通胀预计将暂时上升,以及人口下降加剧了房地产市场的低迷,从而导致财富效应下降。 报告还补充道:“移民增速放缓限制了2026年的经济增长,预计增长率将达到1.0%,这一增速足以使劳动力市场在年底前有所改善。”要实现这样的改善,美墨加协定(CUSMA)的重新谈判必须相对顺利。 今日大宗商品方面,美国延长与伊朗的停火协议,同时继续封锁伊朗港口,而伊朗则在波斯湾袭击船只,并拒绝与美国进行谈判,除非美国解除封锁。受此影响,西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)价格上涨。6月交割的WTI原油期货价格上涨3.29美元,收于每桶92.96美元;6月交割的布伦特原油期货价格上涨3.65美元,收于每桶102.13美元。 在连续两个交易日下跌后,黄金价格周三走高。此前,美国延长了与伊朗战争相关的停火协议。6月交割的黄金期货价格上涨35.70美元,至每盎司4755.30美元。
