9月,加元兑美元汇率突破1.38,攀升至月度高点,此前国内数据强化了人们对加拿大央行将谨慎降息的预期。8月份整体CPI同比上涨1.9%,低于普遍预期的2.0%,但核心指标,特别是修剪后的平均值和中位数,仍接近3.0%,这表明一旦排除波动性项目,潜在通胀将持续存在。这些数据,再加上经济持续弹性的迹象,意味着中国央行可以更长时间地保持政策限制,并降低了快速宽松周期的可能性;市场目前预计,下一次会议只会适度降息25个基点,而不是采取更激进的方式。与此同时,在美联储即将加息25个基点和今年进一步宽松的定价推动下,美元走软,减轻了加元的外部压力。
The Canadian dollar strengthened past 1.38 per US dollar in September, climbing to monthly highs after domestic data reinforced expectations that the Bank of Canada will be cautious about cutting rates. Headline CPI rose 1.9% year-on-year in August—below the 2.0% consensus—but core gauges, notably the trimmed-mean and median, remain close to 3.0%, signaling persistent underlying inflation once volatile items are excluded. Those readings, together with signs of continued economic resilience, imply the BoC can keep policy restrictive for longer and have trimmed the likelihood of a rapid easing cycle; markets now price only a modest 25-basis-point cut at the next meeting rather than a more aggressive path. At the same time, a softer US dollar, driven by Federal Reserve pricing for an imminent 25-basis-point move and further easing this year, has reduced external pressure on the Canadian dollar.
