罗森伯格表示,加拿大第一季度零售销售强劲,但通胀温和,加拿大央行不会加息。

By

-- 罗森伯格研究公司在周五公布数据后表示,加拿大2月份零售销售额表现“稳健”,但低于预期,环比增长0.7%,而此前预期为0.9%。 罗森伯格指出,剔除汽车行业后,至关重要的零售销售额环比增长也低于预期,为0.5%,而此前预期为0.8%。 罗森伯格表示,尽管低于预期,但这些数据仍然稳健,加拿大零售销售整体表现强劲。问题在于,这些数据“过时”,因为它是在伊朗冲突及其引发的汽油价格冲击之前统计的。 该公司指出,预计未来几个月的增长将大幅放缓。 尽管如此,3月份的初步估计环比增长“稳健”,达到0.6%,这意味着第一季度整体有望实现8.5%的年化增长。罗森伯格补充道,这将是自2024年第四季度以来最快的增速,并且为加拿大周四公布的月度国内生产总值(GDP)数据提供了强劲的支撑。 鉴于汽油价格冲击,罗森伯格对3月份的数据能否达到如此强劲的水平略有怀疑,但第一季度整体零售销售显然“稳健”。 如果正如罗森伯格所预期的那样,加拿大经济将在春季遭遇与能源冲击相关的增长放缓,那么没有任何迹象表明加拿大央行需要加息。战前通胀趋势线一切正常,而对利率最敏感的经济部门“远未达到健康水平”。

"However, a deal of some sort at next month's meeting can't be ruled out, and in terms of world soybean demand, it is the most pivotal event on the market's horizon currently."On Monday, the US Department of Agriculture's Weekly Export Inspection Report showed that soybean bookings totaled 23.1 million bushels for the week ending April 23.

Airline Capacity Deployment Slowdown Amid High Fuel Prices Could Hit Aircraft Lessors, Deutsche Bank Says

Aircraft lessors could be impacted by a projected slowdown in airline capacity deployment globally amid elevated jet fuel prices triggered by the Middle East conflict, Deutsche Bank said Monday.Energy prices have soared following the US-Israel war with Iran that has disrupted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows.The conflict, which paused following a ceasefire between the US and Iran and later between Israel and Lebanon, has pushed jet fuel prices past $4 a gallon, according to Deutsche Bank."While aircraft lessors are not directly impacted (by high fuel prices) like airlines with higher operating costs, they are indirectly affected by changes in supply and demand for aircraft," Deutsche Bank analyst Shannon Doherty said in a note to clients Monday. "We cannot ignore the fact that surging jet fuel prices will lead to a slowing of global airline capacity deployment, with groundings a possibility among the financially weakest operators."Last week, American Airlines (AAL) and United Airlines (UAL) lowered their full-year earnings projections. United Airlines said at the time it faced headwinds in the first quarter, including a $340 million increase in fuel expense, compared with a year earlier.Qatar Airways recently contacted lessors to potentially defer or reduce rental payments, Deutsche Bank said Monday. If other airlines request similar favors and aircraft lessors opt to provide that relief, new terms will likely be net present value-positive over the longer term for lessors, according to the note.A premium multiple to AerCap Holdings' (AER) book value is "justified" given its diversified asset fleet earning mid-double-digit return on equity, Doherty said. An undersupply of aircraft assets is "structural" and is expected to last through the end of the decade, the brokerage wrote."AerCap represents one of the best ways to play this theme given the high demand for aircraft, its large orderbook, durable earnings, and high visibility into future cash flows given the long duration nature of its lease contracts," Doherty said.Price: $137.95, Change: $-0.14, Percent Change: -0.10%
