标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数周三上涨约1.3%,突破27900点大关,创下新的历史新高,因为投资者在上周抛售后买入了下跌的股票,这得益于对9月美联储降息的重新希望以及强劲的大宗商品和盈利数据。Shopify在报告第二季度收入同比增长31%和营业收入增长17%后飙升了20%以上,这两个数字都超出了预期,同时引导第三季度收入增长在20%左右。森科尔公司股价上涨超过2%,高于预期,并受益于油价上涨,这也使同行加拿大天然气公司、帝国石油公司和Cenovus公司上涨了1.4%至2%。在宏观方面,加拿大的私营部门活动连续第八个月保持收缩,尽管7月份的综合采购经理人指数从6月份的44.0上升到48.7,因为制造业(46.1比45.6)和服务业(49.3比44.3)都出现了疲软的下滑。
The S&P/TSX Composite jumped around 1.3% to above the 27,900 mark on Wednesday, setting fresh record highs as investors bought the dip following last week’s selloff, buoyed by renewed hopes for a September Fed rate cut and strong commodity and earnings data. Shopify soared over 20% after reporting a 31% year-over-year jump in Q2 revenue and a 17% rise in operating income, both beating expectations, while guiding Q3 revenue growth in the mid- to high-20% range. Suncor gained more than 2% after topping estimates and benefiting from rising oil prices, which also lifted peers Canadian Natural, Imperial Oil, and Cenovus by between 1.4% and 2%. On the macro front, Canada’s private-sector activity remained in contraction for the eighth straight month, though the composite PMI rose to 48.7 in July from 44.0 in June, as both manufacturing (46.1 vs 45.6) and services (49.3 vs 44.3) posted softer downturns.
