周四,标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数暴跌约2%,跌至24750点以下,因为特朗普总统宣布的美国积极互惠关税引发了人们对全球经济衰退加剧和供应链中断的担忧。尽管加拿大受益于《美墨加协定》下的相对豁免,但更广泛的不确定性严重影响了依赖出口的行业——国内数据显示,2月份商品出口下降5.5%,贸易平衡从1月份的31亿美元盈余转变为15亿美元赤字,加剧了这一不确定性。对进一步提高关税和报复措施的预期,加上投入成本上升和对工业活动放缓的担忧,加剧了风险规避,导致了广泛的抛售。值得注意的是,科技、金融和大宗商品生产商受到了严重打击,Shopify下跌了15%以上,布鲁克菲尔德下跌了5.5%,帝国石油下跌了6.5%,巴里克黄金下跌了4%。
The S&P/TSX Composite Index plunged around 2% to fall below the 24,750 mark on Thursday as aggressive U.S. reciprocal tariffs announced by President Trump ignited fears of a deepening global recession and disrupted supply chains. Although Canada benefits from a relative exemption under the USMCA, the broader uncertainty is weighing heavily on export-dependent sectors—exacerbated by domestic data showing a 5.5% decline in merchandise exports in February and a shrinking trade balance that shifted from a $3.1 billion surplus in January to a $1.5 billion deficit. Expectations of further tariff hikes and retaliatory measures, combined with rising input costs and concerns over slowing industrial activity, have intensified risk aversion, leading to a broad-based sell-off. Notably, tech, financial, and commodity producers have been hit hard, with Shopify down over 15%, Brookfield off 5.5%, Imperial Oil dropping 6.5%, and Barrick Gold declining 4%.
