周四,标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数下跌约0.1%,跌破27390点,创下近期历史新高,尽管贸易紧张局势有所缓解,但加拿大大宗商品综合指数仍面临压力。在日本达成关税削减协议,欧盟特使表示在达成类似协议方面取得进展后,黄金失去了一些避险吸引力,拖累重量级矿商Agnico Eagle、Wheaton Precious、Barrick和Franco-Nevada下跌0.9%至1.7%。贱金属领军企业泰克资源公司在公布第二季度利润低于预期后暴跌约3.5%,尽管原油基准走强,但Cenovus等能源公司仍下跌约4%。在经济方面,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 around 0.1% to below the 27,390 mark on Thursday, relinquishing its recent record highs as Canada’s commodities complex came under pressure despite easing trade tensions. Gold lost some of its safe-haven appeal after Japan secured a tariff-cut deal and EU envoys signaled progress toward a similar pact, dragging heavyweight miners Agnico Eagle, Wheaton Precious, Barrick and Franco-Nevada down between 0.9% and 1.7%. Base-metals leader Teck Resources plunged around 3.5% after reporting weaker-than-expected second-quarter profits, and energy names such as Cenovus fell roughly 4% despite firmer crude benchmarks. On the economic front, preliminary Statistics Canada data pointed to a roughly 1.6% rebound in retail sales in June.
