周四,标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数上涨约0.3%,收于26900点以上,创下历史新高,科技和金融股领涨,抵消了大宗商品生产商的疲软。加拿大皇家银行、Shopify、布鲁克菲尔德、宏利和Open Text等大盘股均上涨0.5%至1.4%,追随美国劳动力市场走强后的美国同行,6月份令人惊讶的强劲就业人数为14.7万人,而预期为11万人,突显了美国经济的弹性。在国内,加拿大统计局报告称,5月份商品出口温和增长1.1%,进口下降1.6%,缩小了贸易逆差,但对应对更广泛的经济疲软几乎没有什么作用。与此同时,尽管越南达成了20%的协议,但关于7月9日截止日期后美国惩罚性关税的谈判仍未解决,这给加拿大的资源出口商带来了压力。
The S&P/TSX Composite Index climbed roughly 0.3% to above the 26,900 mark on Thursday, marking a fresh record high led by strength in technology and financial names that more than offset weakness among commodity producers. Mega-caps RBC, Shopify, Brookfield, Manulife and Open Text each gained between 0.5% and 1.4%, tracking US peers following firmer US labor market cues, June’s surprisingly robust payrolls print of 147,000 versus expectations of 110,000 underscored the resilience of the American economy. At home, Statistics Canada reported that May merchandise exports rose a modest 1.1% while imports fell 1.6%, narrowing the trade deficit but doing little to counter broader economic lethargy. Meanwhile, negotiations over punitive US tariffs beyond the July 9th deadline remain unresolved despite Vietnam’s 20% deal, maintaining pressure on Canada’s resource exporters.
