-- 多伦多证券交易所周四收低,七个交易日以来首次下跌。下跌的原因包括部分获利回吐,以及对中东持续地缘政治紧张局势的担忧,以及近期油价飙升加剧全球经济面临的关税相关压力,这些因素都令市场对通胀的担忧持续存在。 S&P/TSX综合指数收跌142.86点,跌幅0.4%,报33,477.71点。尽管电池金属指数上涨4.5%,限制了整体跌幅,但S&P/TSX综合指数仍下跌了142.86点,跌幅0.4%。电信板块领跌,下跌近3.4%;信息技术板块下跌近2.1%。投资者正在权衡通胀风险,而美联储会议纪要显示,如果通胀持续高于目标水平,官员们对加息持开放态度。科技股对利率变化较为敏感,因为它们依赖高额资本支出。利率上升会增加借贷成本,并可能抑制对创新和扩张的投资。 加拿大皇家银行经济部在其关于美国的专题分析中指出,距离美国政府宣布对所有贸易伙伴加征关税以减少贸易不平衡的“解放日”已过去一年多。但加拿大皇家银行表示,尽管贸易转移,贸易逆差并未缩小。 加拿大皇家银行补充道,目前,所有人的目光都集中在一个新的冲击上:中东冲突。俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后,油价飙升至接近2022年高点。该银行表示:“尽管如此,关税的影响仍在持续,油价飙升将加剧原有的关税价格压力,导致核心通胀和总体通胀同步上升。” 另据一份与此相关但对加拿大人更为积极的报告显示,加拿大皇家银行指出,随着美国跨境旅行减少,加拿大人对美国针对其某些行业加征关税以及特朗普总统称加拿大为“第51个州”的言论感到愤怒,加拿大的旅行模式正在持续调整。 加拿大皇家银行补充道,前往美国的旅行持续减少,但前往加拿大境内其他目的地以及海外旅行的增长正在逐渐抵消这一影响。该银行指出,2025年赴美旅游人数将下降25.4%,至2910万人次,疲软态势将持续到2026年初。原本可能用于海外消费的资金正被重新投入国内,预计2025年旅游总支出将增长1.7%。 加拿大皇家银行(RBC)还指出,由于消费支出更多地留在国内,这一转变使加拿大在2025年仍保持旅游服务净出口国的地位。旅游业GDP在第四季度增长4.8%,超过了整体经济0.6%的萎缩幅度,连续第三个季度跑赢大盘。 大宗商品方面,由于伊朗继续封锁霍尔木兹海峡,西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)周四收高。在以色列表示将与黎巴嫩展开谈判后,WTI价格从盘中高点回落。伊朗此前一直坚称,与美国达成的为期两周的停火协议中包含停止以色列对黎巴嫩袭击的承诺。 5月交割的WTI原油期货收盘上涨3.46美元,报每桶97.87美元,盘中一度触及102.70美元。6月交割的布伦特原油期货最新上涨0.96美元,报每桶95.71美元。 周四午后,由于美国公布的关键通胀指标上升,美元走软,加之美伊双方就为期两周的停火协议条款争论不休,黄金价格走高。5月交割的黄金期货上涨36.10美元,至每盎司4813.30美元。
