BMOがカナダの今後の見通しについて語る

By

-- モントリオール銀行(BMO)は、カナダが4月の労働力調査(LFS)を金曜日の午前8時30分(東部時間)に発表すると発表した。 BMOは、労働市場は依然として「軟調」であり、4月のLFSは雇用が横ばいで推移すると予想しているため、状況改善には繋がらないだろうと指摘している。 BMOは、この報告書は3月末の弱さを初めて反映するもので、オンタリオ州のアルゴマ・スチール工場などで既に発表されている人員削減や、連邦政府の早期退職制度の開始などが含まれると指摘した。 後者は、10年にわたる雇用拡大の後、オタワが支出削減を図る中で、国勢調査のための臨時雇用によって部分的に相殺されるものの、夏にかけて公務員雇用に下振れリスクをもたらすと予想される。 BMOの予測では、労働力の停滞を背景に雇用が低迷していることから、失業率は3ヶ月連続で6.7%で横ばいとなる見込みだ。 BMOは、特に関税の影響を受けている分野では、CUSMA貿易協定交渉で合意が成立するまでは、雇用環境が「大幅に」改善する可能性は低いと付け加えた。

CIBC Says "Weak" Labor Market in April Strengthens View Central Bank to Stay on Hold With Rates for Rest of Year

The Canadian labor market continued its "weak start" to 2026 in April, with a third decline in employment within the first four months of the year, seeing the unemployment rate rise further, said CIBC after Friday's Labour Force Survey (LFS).The 18,000 decline in jobs came against consensus expectations for a 10,000 increase and, combined with a slight uptick in participation, resulted in a rise in the unemployment rate to 6.9%, noted the bank.The unemployment rate increased most for young people aged 15-24, but also continued to drift higher for core-aged (25-54) workers. By sector, information, culture & recreation saw the largest decline in employment on the month, and by class of worker, the reduction was driven wholly by full-time, or 47,000 lower, and by public sector paid employment, down 10,000.Wage growth for permanent employees decelerated to 4.8% year over year, from 5.1% in the prior month, but remained higher than its 2025 average, pointed out CIBC.Statistics Canada noted that higher wage inflation so far this year has largely been due to compositional factors, such as a smaller proportion of workers with shorter job tenures.For the Bank of Canada, evidence that slack within the labor market is, if anything, increasing rather than reducing, should limit the ability for the oil price shock to spread into wider inflationary pressure, stated CIBC.The bank continues to see the BoC holding interest rates at their current level throughout 2026.
