-- 多伦多证券交易所午盘上涨150点,多数板块走高。 表现最佳的板块是矿业和公用事业板块,均上涨1.4%。工业板块和电信板块分别下跌0.5%和0.8%。 加拿大统计局周五公布的数据显示,3月份新增就业岗位1.4万个,符合经济学家的预期,失业率维持在6.7%不变。平均时薪同比增长4.7%,高于2月份的3.9%。 正如德斯贾丁斯集团宏观策略主管罗伊斯·门德斯所说,加拿大劳动力市场显示出“一些企稳迹象”,但数据仍存在一些问题。周五公布的劳动力调查(LFS)显示,加拿大经济3月份新增就业岗位1.4万个,失业率维持在6.7%不变。但门德斯指出,所有新增职位均为兼职,全职工作岗位在2月份经历了10.8万个“毁灭性”的下降后,目前处于“稳定”状态。门德斯还指出,尽管3月份平均时薪同比增速加快,但这主要是由于结构性因素的影响。加拿大统计局表示,在保持结构不变的情况下,平均时薪仅增长了3.6%,这表明工资“实际上并没有升温”。 德斯贾丁斯集团对第一季度国内生产总值(GDP)的预测仍维持在1.5%至2.0%左右,与加拿大央行1月份的预测大致一致。门德斯表示,总体而言,周五公布的劳动力调查(LFS)没有任何迹象表明经济正在复苏。尽管德斯贾丁斯集团上调了油价预期,但鉴于经济持续疲软,他们仍然认为央行将在今年剩余时间内保持观望态度。
