周四,标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数徘徊在27920点的水平线之上,投资者权衡了美国对加拿大商品征收35%关税的可能性,因为企业盈利喜忧参半和资源价格反弹在一定程度上超过了贸易战的担忧。能源生产商Cenovus上涨约2%,引领该行业走高,因为油价停止了最近的暴跌。同样,在金价走强的背景下,巴里克矿业以近2%的涨幅领涨矿业股。另一方面,金融巨头宏利在第二季度财报令人失望后下跌超过2%。同样,Nutrien在第二季度表现不佳后下跌了3%以上。在其他地方,Shopify在昨日飙升21.5%后出现获利回吐,跌幅约为1%。在经济方面,加拿大经济活动连续第二个月增长,增速为一年来最快,7月份Ivey PMI为55.8,超出预期的55.2。
The S&P/TSX Composite hovered above the flatline at the 27,920 mark on Thursday, as investors weighed the onset of a 35% US tariff on Canadian goods as mixed corporate earnings and a rebound in resource prices somewhat outweighed trade-war concerns. Energy producer Cenovus added around 2% to lead the sector higher as oil prices halted their recent plunge. Similarly, Barrick Mining led the miners higher with nearly 2% on the back of stronger bullion prices. On the other hand, financial heavyweight Manulife dropped over 2% after a disappointing second quarter earnings report. Similarly, Nutrien lost over 3% after a lackluster performance in Q2. Elsewhere, Shopify dropped around 1% amid profit taking after yesterday’s 21.5% surge. Economically, Canada saw a second consecutive month of growing economic activity and at the fastest pace in a year as the Ivey PMI came in at 55.8 in July, beating expectations of 55.2.
