-- 道明銀行（TD）表示，加拿大3月商品貿易順差由上月的51億加幣逆差轉為18億加幣順差。 繼2月強勁成長之後，3月出口較上季成長8.5%。能源價格快速上漲推動原油出口較上月成長18.9%，而未加工黃金、白銀和鉑金的出口較上月大幅成長37.7%。 同時，汽車及零件出口（季增4.5%）在3月再次成長，延續了1月低迷狀態後的復甦動能。總共11個產品類別中有7個類別實現了成長。 道明銀行指出，3月的貿易數據顯示整體貿易活動回暖，但出口成長全來自油價上漲帶來的價格影響。 截至3月份的數據表明，淨貿易額仍將拖累2026年第一季實際國內生產毛額成長，反映出進口額在本季普遍走強。 展望未來，據該銀行稱，油價上漲應會「顯著」提振第二季度名目出口額，有助於進一步改善貿易平衡。

Equinor Starts Eirin Field, Boosts European Gas Supply
Equinor (EQNR) has brought the Eirin field online, unlocking about 27.6 million barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable resources, mainly gas, to support European supply, the company said in a Tuesday statement.The company is exporting gas from Eirin through the Gina Krog and Sleipner A platforms in the North Sea, strengthening flows from Norway to Europe, Equinor said.Equinor developed the subsea field in about three years from project launch to production start, the company noted.The company discovered Eirin in 1978 but shelved the project due to weak economics, then reassessed the field in 2023 as demand for Norwegian gas increased after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it said.Equinor invested about 4.5 billion Norwegian kroner ($486.5 million) to develop the field, tying the subsea facility back to the Gina Krog platform and exporting gas via the Sleipner hub.The project will extend the Gina Krog platform's operational life to 2036 from 2029, supporting continued production and preserving associated jobs.Equinor electrified the Gina Krog platform in 2023, enabling low emissions from Eirin, with a carbon intensity of about 3 kilograms of CO2 per barrel of oil equivalent produced."The partnership saw an opportunity to contribute to Europe's energy security in a challenging time. We made an ambitious plan for a fast, cost effective and safe development," Linda Kada Hoiland, senior vice president at Equinor, said."Eirin will extend production from the Gina Krog platform by seven years," Hoiland said, adding that the project will deliver gas to Europe while supporting value creation and jobs linked to the asset.Price: $41.57, Change: $+0.25, Percent Change: +0.61%
