德斯賈丁斯表示,加拿大勞動力市場3月顯示出“一些穩定跡象”,但仍存在一些問題。

-- 德斯賈丁斯銀行的羅伊斯門德斯在周五發布的勞動力調查(LFS)顯示加拿大3月份新增1.4萬個就業崗位後表示,在經歷了年初的一系列失業潮後,加拿大勞動力市場在3月份出現了一些企穩跡象。調查顯示,加拿大經濟在3月新增了1.4萬個就業崗位,失業率維持在6.7%不變。 但他補充說,所有新增職位均為兼職,全職崗位在2月經歷了10.8萬個崗位的「毀滅性」下降後,目前處於「穩定」狀態。 門德斯也指出,雖然3月平均時薪年增速加快,但這主要是由於結構性因素的影響。加拿大統計局表示,在保持結構不變的情況下,平均時薪僅增加了3.6%,這意味著薪資「實際上並沒有升溫」。 加拿大央行對第一季國內生產毛額(GDP)的預測仍維持在1.5%至2.0%左右,與加拿大央行1月的預測大致一致。 門德斯補充道,總體而言,週五的勞動力市場調查(LFS)沒有任何跡象表明經濟正在復甦。儘管德斯賈丁斯上調了油價預期,但鑑於經濟持續疲軟,他仍然認為各國央行將在今年剩餘時間內保持觀望態度。

Clinuvel Unlikely to Seek Scenesse's Vitiligo Approval Before Phase 3 Completion, Says Jefferies

Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals (ASX:CUV) is unlikely to seek regulatory approval for Scenesse in vitiligo until the Phase 3 CUV105 and CUV107 clinical trials are completed, according to a Friday Jefferies note.The company said on Friday that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has proposed evaluating the company's Scenesse drug for the treatment of systemic vitiligo based on a "totality of evidence" regulatory approach.Jefferies said that the EMA's decision is a positive for the company because of the high unmet medical need for Vitiligo treatment.The investment firm has pushed back its revenue expectations from Scenesse in vitiligo, which is now expected to begin in the second half of fiscal 2029 rather than fiscal 2028.Jefferies kept a buy rating on Clinuvel and cut its price target to AU$39.20 from AU$40.50.
