周五,标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数下跌0.3%,收于24711点,由于美中关税谈判的不确定性挥之不去,资源密集型交易所的重量级矿业公司面临压力。与贵金属挂钩的股票领跌:Agnico Eagle下跌0.8%,此前金价大幅回落,尽管该矿商在强劲的产量和较低的成本下第一季度利润几乎翻了一番,而Wheaton Precious、Barrick gold和Franco Nevada则下跌了0.6%至1.8%。事实证明,科技股更具弹性——Shopify上涨2.2%,缓冲了更广泛的低迷。经济方面,2月份零售额下降0.4%,突显出借贷成本上升对国内需求的压力。交易员们还对贸易战的各种暗示感到困惑——尽管特朗普总统声称谈判正在进行中,但中国可能暂停对某些美国商品征收125%关税的报道很快被北京否认——这让投资者保持谨慎。尽管周五有所回落,但多伦多证交所仍录得2.1%的周涨幅。
The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 0.3% to close at 24,711 mark on Friday, as heavyweight mining names on the resource-heavy exchange came under pressure amid lingering uncertainty over U.S.–China tariff talks. Bullion-linked stocks led the retreat: Agnico Eagle dipped 0.8% after gold prices pulled back sharply despite the miner nearly doubling first-quarter profits on robust output and lower costs, while Wheaton Precious, Barrick Gold and Franco-Nevada slid between 0.6% and 1.8%. Tech shares proved more resilient—Shopify jumped 2.2%, cushioning the broader downturn. Economically, retail sales fell 0.4% in February, underscoring how higher borrowing costs are straining domestic demand. Traders also wrestled with mixed trade-war cues—reports that China might suspend its 125% tariffs on certain U.S. goods were quickly denied by Beijing even as President Trump asserted talks were ongoing—leaving investors cautious. Despite Friday’s pullback, the TSX posted a 2.1% weekly gain.
