加元/港币 (CADHKD) 加自选

标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数周三下跌约0.3%，至30350点以下，因市场消化了加拿大银行预期的25个基点降息和更坚定的远期指引。中国央行将政策利率下调25个基点至2.25%，并暗示此举可能标志着宽松周期的结束。这一决定是在第二季度GDP收缩1.6%和劳动力市场疲软之后做出的，尽管一次性增加了6万人的工资，使失业率接近7.1%。通胀居高不下，整体CPI为2.4%，微调措施约为3.1%，这削弱了进一步降息的希望，因此市场将降息视为已定价，并在央行将此举视为依赖数据后推高了收益率。对利率敏感的科技和金融股领跌。Constellation Software下跌超过3%，而主要银行RBC、TD、BMO和丰业银行各下跌超过0.5%。

The S&P/TSX Composite fell about 0.3% to below the 30,350 mark on Wednesday as markets digested the Bank of Canada’s expected 25bp rate reduction and firmer forward guidance. The BoC cut its policy rate by 25bp to 2.25% and signalled the move likely marks the endpoint of the easing cylce. The decision arrived against weak growth after Q2 GDP contracted 1.6% and a softer labour market despite a one-off 60,000 payroll boost that left unemployment near 7.1%. Sticky inflation with headline CPI at 2.4% and the Trimmed measure around 3.1% tempered hopes for further cuts, so markets treated the reduction as priced in and pushed yields higher after the Bank framed the move as data dependent. Rate sensitive tech and financials led the decline. Constellation Software fell more than 3% while major lenders RBC, TD, BMO and Scotiabank each lost over 0.5%.
