加拿大8月份工业生产者价格指数环比上涨0.5%,此前7月份上涨0.7%,低于市场预期的0.9%。这一增长是由化学品、肉类、鱼类和乳制品、机动车辆和休闲车以及主要有色金属产品的价格上涨引起的,而能源和石油价格的下跌减缓了这一增长。不包括能源,IPPI上涨0.7%。肉类、鱼类和乳制品价格连续第九个月上涨1.9%,其中新鲜和冷冻牛肉和小牛肉(+5.2%)和鸡肉(+2.1%)领涨,季节性需求强劲,国内供应紧张。主要有色金属产品上涨1.0%,受黄金(+1.6%)和白银(+1.9%)上涨的支撑,而铂族金属在连续三个月上涨后下跌3.7%。能源和石油价格下跌1.3%,柴油价格下跌6.0%,但汽油价格在夏季驾驶季节上涨1.8%。
Canada’s industrial producer prices rose 0.5% month-over-month in August, following a 0.7% gain in July and below market expectations of 0.9%. The increase was led by higher prices for chemicals, meat, fish and dairy products, motorized and recreational vehicles, and primary non-ferrous metal products, while lower energy and petroleum prices moderated the increase. Excluding energy, the IPPI rose 0.7%. Meat, fish and dairy prices climbed for the ninth consecutive month, up 1.9%, led by fresh and frozen beef and veal (+5.2%) and chicken (+2.1%) amid strong seasonal demand and tight domestic supply. Primary non-ferrous metal products rose 1.0%, supported by gains in gold (+1.6%) and silver (+1.9%), while platinum group metals fell 3.7% after three consecutive months of gains. Energy and petroleum prices fell 1.3%, with diesel down 6.0% but gasoline up 1.8% during the summer driving season.
