德国商业银行称,加拿大央行周三或将维持利率不变,等待通胀影响。

By

-- 德国商业银行表示,投资者不太可能在周三美东时间上午9:45看到加拿大央行调整利率。 德国商业银行指出,与除澳大利亚储备银行外的许多其他G10央行一样,政策制定者可能更倾向于等待观察中东冲突的最终影响。 该行认为,最新的加拿大通胀数据支持了这一观点:3月份的通胀数据低于预期,核心通胀率在经历了数月的波动后终于稳定在略高于2%的水平。 此外,还有其他几个原因:实体经济复苏缓慢;由于能源独立,加拿大应该能够更好地抵御价格冲击;最重要的是,加拿大与美国的关系持续紧张,以及即将举行的美墨加协定(CUSMA)谈判。 因此,该行在一份致客户的报告中写道,目前没有太多理由急于提高利率。即使伊朗战争最终导致加息成为必要,其他央行也可能率先采取行动。 德国商业银行仍然认为,市场对加拿大央行的预期远比对欧洲央行或英国央行的预期更为现实。但加拿大加息的可能性要到今年最后一个季度才会出现。 目前,货币政策不太可能对加元(CAD 或 loonie)的走势起到决定性作用,油价上涨可能成为关注的焦点。

US Oil, Gas Reserves Fall as Alaska Gains on New Projects, EIA Says

US oil and gas proved reserves declined in 2024 as lower prices weighed on estimates, though Alaska bucked the national trend with gains driven by increased development activity, the Energy Information Administration strategists said in a note on Wednesday.Steven Grape, EIA analyst, said total US proved reserves of crude oil and lease condensate fell 1% to about 46 billion barrels at year-end 2024, while natural gas reserves dropped 3% to 584 trillion cubic feet.Alaska, in contrast, posted increases in both categories. Crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves in the state rose 5% to 3.1 billion barrels, while natural gas reserves climbed nearly 7% to 103 Tcf.Benchmark prices declined for a second consecutive year in 2024, weighing on reserve estimates nationwide. Average spot prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil slipped 1% from 2023 levels, while Henry Hub natural gas prices fell 13%.The EIA said the price downturn contributed to reserve reductions in key producing states. Texas recorded the largest drop in crude oil reserves, down 529 million barrels, or 3%, followed by North Dakota, down 487 million barrels, or 11%.For natural gas, Texas again led losses with a 10.2 Tcf decline, or 7%, while Louisiana saw reserves fall by 8.4 Tcf, or 26%, the agency said.Alaska's gains were supported by increased exploration and development activity, which led to upward revisions despite the weaker price environment. EIA analysts said the startup of the Nuna project, operated by ConocoPhillips (COP), contributed to higher oil reserves during the year.Future projects are projected to further boost Alaska's reserves, including new drilling at Prudhoe Bay and infrastructure developments such as the planned Alaska LNG Project.Meanwhile, recent US policy measures have also aimed to accelerate resource development in the state. President Trump signed an executive order in January 2025 to expedite permitting and leasing of energy projects in Alaska and promote LNG exports to domestic and allied markets.The Bureau of Land Management awarded leases covering 1.3 million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska in March.Price: $126.79, Change: $+2.47, Percent Change: +1.99%
