加元兑美元汇率跌破1.37,停止了从7月31日的两个月低点1.386的反弹,因为国内劳动力数据疲软和迫在眉睫的贸易逆风削弱了加元早些时候的涨幅。加拿大统计局报告称,加拿大7月份失去了41000个工作岗位,远低于分析师预测的13500个,失业率保持在6.9%,这再次引发了人们对国内需求的担忧,并迫使加拿大央行采取更宽松的货币政策。与此同时,特朗普总统决定对加拿大铝征收35%的关税,并即将征收汽车零部件关税,这可能会抑制加拿大重要的制造业出口,这给暴露在贸易中的经济增加了新的压力。与此同时,油价从最近的高点回落,限制了外汇收入的一个关键来源,尽管全球增长担忧和美联储的发展使美元处于不利地位。
The Canadian dollar eased past 1.37 per US dollar, halting its rebound from the two-month low of 1.386 seen July 31st as softer domestic labour data and looming trade headwinds undercut the loonie’s earlier gains. Statistics Canada’s report that Canada lost 41 000 jobs in July, far worse than the 13,500 gain analysts had forecast, and a static 6.9 % unemployment rate have renewed concerns over domestic demand and pressured the Bank of Canada to adopt more accommodative monetary policy. Meanwhile, President Trump’s decision to impose a 35 % tariff on Canadian aluminum and looming auto-parts duties, which threaten to crimp Canada’s vital manufacturing exports, adds fresh pressure to the trade-exposed economy. At the same time, oil prices have softened from recent highs, limiting a key source of foreign-exchange earnings even as global growth concerns and US Fed developments leave the greenback on the backfoot.
