周四,标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数下跌0.2%,收于27390点,从历史高点回落,主要矿商和金融股的大幅下跌抵消了其他地区的涨幅,而投资者消化了新的贸易发展和喜忧参半的公司业绩。在日本达成关税削减协议,欧盟特使表示与华盛顿达成类似协议取得进展后,资源股未能反弹,泰克资源公司报告第二季度盈利能力增强,但其股价下跌8.7%,加拿大皇家银行大型股下跌1.3%。相比之下,防御性和以消费者为导向的品牌表现优异:Loblaw上涨2.2%,杂货和药店销售额好于预期,FirstService上涨8.9%,季度业绩强劲。能源板块也因油价走强而上涨,加拿大统计局的初步数据显示,6月份零售额反弹约1.6%。
The S&P/TSX Composite fell 0.2% to close at 27,390 on Thursday, retreating from its record high as steep declines in major miners and financials offset gains elsewhere while investors digested fresh trade developments and mixed corporate results. After Japan secured a tariff-cut deal and EU envoys signaled progress toward a similar agreement with Washington, resource stocks failed to rally, Teck Resources reported stronger Q2 profitability yet its shares tumbled 8.7%, and mega-cap Royal Bank of Canada slipped 1.3%. In contrast, defensive and consumer-oriented names outperformed: Loblaw climbed 2.2% on better-than-expected grocery and pharmacy sales, and FirstService leapt 8.9% on robust quarterly results. The energy sector also advanced on firmer oil prices, and preliminary Statistics Canada data suggested a roughly 1.6% rebound in retail sales in June.
