周五,标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数上涨约0.2%,收于29800点以上,因投资者分析了GDP数据、美国价格和新的贸易措施,本周的跌幅有所收窄。加拿大统计局的预估显示,8月份实际GDP基本保持不变,批发和零售业的增长抵消了采矿、制造业和运输业的疲软,缓解了长期收益率面临压力的增长恐慌。与此同时,最新的美国个人消费支出报告记录了大致稳定的通胀,核心个人消费支出保持稳定,整体通胀略有上升,这增强了人们对美联储今年晚些时候有降息空间并支持冒险的预期。在贸易方面,美国总统特朗普宣布对品牌药品、重型卡车和橱柜征收新一轮关税。在企业新闻方面,加拿大邮政周四举行的全国性罢工使物流复杂化,并可能对零售和分销公司造成压力。科技、金融、能源和矿业板块领涨。
The S&P/TSX Composite rose about 0.2% to above 29,800 on Friday, paring the week’s losses as investors parsed GDP data, US prices and fresh trade measures. Statistics Canada’s advance estimate showed real GDP essentially unchanged in August with wholesale and retail gains offsetting weakness in mining, manufacturing and transportation which eased the growth scare that had pressured long yields. Meanwhile, the latest US PCE report recorded broadly stable inflation with core PCE steady and a modest uptick in headline inflation which reinforced expectations that the Fed has scope to cut rates later this year and supported risk taking. On the trade front, US President Trump announced a fresh set of tariffs on branded drugs, heavy-duty trucks and kitchen cabinets. In corporate news, a nationwide Canada Post strike on Thursday complicated logistics and could weigh on retail and distribution firms. Most major sectors traded higher led by technology, financials, energy and miners.
