-- 羅森伯格研究公司在周一公佈的加拿大消費者物價指數(CPI)數據後表示,此前人們普遍擔憂的3月份CPI飆升並未出現,環比上漲0.9%(主要受汽油價格上漲影響),低於市場普遍預期的1.1%。 這是未經季節性調整的數據——經季節性調整後的數據環比上漲0.5%——但羅森伯格研究公司指出,剔除能源價格(汽油價格環比飆升21%,創歷史新高)後,CPI持平,並且在過去三個月中一直沒有出現任何波動。 3月CPI年漲幅從2月的1.8%回升至2.4%,但仍低於市場預期的2.6%。 關鍵在於剔除食品和能源價格後的傳統核心通膨指數,該指數年增率從2.0%放緩至1.9%,略低於加拿大央行的目標——羅森伯格指出,這一增速再次低於市場普遍預期的2.2%。 近期加拿大通膨數據的一個顯著特徵是,曾經火熱的房屋價格指數出現逆轉。過去五個月以及過去八個月中的七個月,該指數經季節性平滑處理後均趨於平穩,同比增速從2025年同期的3.8%降至12年來的最低點0.7%。 一旦美伊戰爭最終結束,加拿大央行即可重啟寬鬆週期。而任何政策收緊的跡像都已被排除,債券市場此前幾週就開始消化這一預期,羅森伯格認為這是錯誤的。 羅森伯格補充道,關鍵在於核心經濟,其環比完全持平,而此前1月和2月也僅成長了0.1%。過去五年中,這種情況僅出現過三次,凸顯了加拿大經濟中面向消費者的環節缺乏定價權。 畢竟,六個月的年化成長率已降至1.6%,這是自2020年10月以來加拿大從未見過的水平,當時加拿大央行將政策利率維持在接近零的水平。不僅如此,羅森伯格指出,三個月的年化成長率目前為0.8%,這是自2020年9月以來最疲軟的成長速度。
