周五,标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数下跌4.7%,收于23194点,在贸易争端加剧和国内经济挑战加剧的情况下,其抛售延续至数月低点。美国重新征收关税、汽车关税豁免的不确定性以及中国即将征收34%的报复性关税,引发了人们对经济衰退的担忧,并引发了广泛的市场抛售。这种加剧的风险规避促使原油价格急剧下跌至2021年8月以来的最低水平,这反过来又削弱了能源股。加拿大能源巨头遭受了巨大损失,加拿大自然石油公司下跌6.7%,森科尔公司下跌8.8%,帝国石油公司下跌6.7%,Cenovus暴跌11.9%。此外,Shopify(-5.6%)、Brookfield(-7.2%)和Wheaton Precious(-8.8%)等权重科技、金融和矿业股也出现大幅下跌。在经济方面,3月份失业率攀升至6.7%,导致32600人失业,进一步暴露了加拿大经济的脆弱性。
The S&P/TSX Composite Index tumbled 4.7% to close at 23,194 on Friday, extending its selloff to a multi-month low amid intensifying trade disputes and mounting domestic economic challenges. Renewed US tariffs, uncertainties over auto tariff exemptions, and China’s imminent 34% retaliatory levy have stoked recession fears and triggered a widespread market selloff. This heightened risk aversion precipitated a sharp decline in crude oil prices to their lowest levels since August 2021, which in turn undermined energy stocks. Canadian energy giants suffered steep losses, with Canadian Natural dropping 6.7%, Suncor falling 8.8%, Imperial Oil down 6.7%, and Cenovus plunging 11.9%. Moreover, heavyweight tech, financial, and mining equities such as Shopify (-5.6%), Brookfield (-7.2%), and Wheaton Precious (-8.8%) also recorded significant declines. Economically, 32,600 jobs were lost in March as unemployment climbed to 6.7%, further exposing vulnerabilities in the Canadian economy.
