加元兑美元汇率徘徊在1.42左右,从1月31日的22年低点1.455保持反弹,因为国内数据提振了对收紧货币政策的预期,大宗商品价格上涨吸引了外汇流入。1月份工业生产者价格飙升1.6%,远高于预期,原材料价格指数环比上涨3.7%,这表明强劲的通胀压力降低了加拿大央行进一步放松的预期。这些数字,再加上支撑加拿大出口导向型经济的大宗商品价格反弹,改善了加元的需求前景。与此同时,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周三宣布,他将在下个月内公布新的关税,将木材和林产品纳入之前宣布的进口汽车、半导体和药品关税计划。
The Canadian dollar hovered around 1.42 per USD, maintaining its rebound from a 22-year low of 1.455 on January 31, as domestic data bolstered expectations for a tighter monetary policy and rising commodity prices attracted foreign currency inflows. Industrial producer prices surged by 1.6% in January, well above forecasts, and the Raw Materials Price Index jumped 3.7% month-over-month, signaling strong inflationary pressures that reduce expectations for further Bank of Canada easing. These figures, combined with a rebound in commodity prices supporting Canada’s export-driven economy, have improved the demand outlook for the loonie. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he would unveil new tariffs within the next month, adding lumber and forest products to previously announced plans for tariffs on imported cars, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals.
