道明银行预计,由于核心通胀预期将接近目标水平,加拿大央行下周将维持利率不变。

By

-- 加拿大道明银行(TD)在周一公布CPI数据后表示,3月份加拿大总体消费者价格指数(CPI)同比上涨2.4%,略低于市场预期。 该行指出,能源价格上涨是CPI上涨的主要原因,剔除能源价格后,CPI同比涨幅仅为2.2%,涨幅较为“温和”。 3月份汽油价格环比飙升21%,创历史最大涨幅。 道明银行指出,油价上涨推高了3月份加拿大的通胀。尽管油价近期有所回落,但仍比一年前高出近40%。这意味着能源价格上涨可能会在一段时间内继续推高总体通胀。 该行表示,随着取消消费者碳税的抑制作用从同比通胀计算中消失,4月份的通胀数据可能会大幅上升。 鉴于加拿大整体经济形势疲软,道明银行预计,取消碳税对核心价格的影响将“较为温和”。今年核心通胀率预计将与2%的目标值保持相对接近。 市场普遍预期加拿大央行将在下周的政策声明中维持其关键政策利率在2.25%不变。加拿大央行将密切关注其对油价飙升对加拿大经济影响的评估。
