周三,标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数在27540点附近艰难地保持持平,因为投资者权衡了加拿大经济和加拿大银行货币立场的好坏参半的信号。加拿大央行将政策利率维持在2.75%,这是继2.25%之后的第三次暂停?由于美国持续的关税不确定性、出口商提前发货后第二季度GDP收缩的风险,以及通胀将徘徊在2%目标附近的观点,削减了几个百分点。虽然有弹性的劳动力市场和乐观的增长预测提供了支持,但缺乏新的指导和全球贸易不平衡使市场保持谨慎。行业表现反映了这种矛盾情绪,科技股Celestica(+5.3%)和Constellation Software(+0.7%)领涨,金融股喜忧参半,道明银行(0.5%)和丰业银行(0.7%)上涨,蒙特利尔银行下跌超过1%,能源生产商——从加拿大天然气公司到Cenovus——均下跌超过0.5%。
The S&P/TSX Composite struggled for direction trading flat around the 27,540 mark on Wednesday, as investors weighed mixed signals from Canada’s economy and the Bank of Canada’s monetary stance. The Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.75%—its third pause after 2.25?percentage points of cuts, citing persistent US tariff uncertainty, the risk of a Q2 GDP contraction after exporters front-loaded shipments, and the view that inflation will hover near its 2% target. While a resilient labour market and upbeat growth forecasts provided support, the lack of fresh guidance and uneven global trade kept the market cautious. Sector performance reflected this ambivalence with tech names Celestica (+5.3%) and Constellation Software (+0.7%) leading gains, financials were mixed with TD Bank (0.5%) and Scotiabank (0.7%) up while BMO fell over 1%, and energy producers—from Canadian Natural to Cenovus—each slid more than 0.5%.
