标普/多伦多证交所综合指数在今年最后一个交易日上涨0.4%,收于24728点,大宗商品生产商领涨。森科尔、帝国石油、加拿大天然气和Cenovus等能源巨头的股价上涨了0.9%至2.3%。金融股也表现强劲,尽管科技股表现不佳。2024年,加拿大股市受到加拿大银行和美联储降息的支撑,这是近代历史上最激进的加息周期之一。自6月以来,加拿大银行的降息总计175个基点,随着借贷成本的下降,这加剧了人们对经济增长的乐观情绪。这一政策转变刺激了强劲的股票购买,推动多伦多证交所年涨幅达到18%,创下2021年以来的最佳表现。
The S&P/TSX Composite Index gained 0.4%, closing at 24,728 in the final trading session of the year, as most sectors posted gains, led by commodity producers. Energy giants such as Suncor, Imperial Oil, Canadian Natural, and Cenovus saw increases between 0.9% and 2.3%. Financials also showed strength, though tech stocks lagged. Throughout 2024, Canadian equities were supported by rate cuts from both the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve, following one of the most aggressive hiking cycles in recent history. These rate reductions by the Bank of Canada, which totaled 175 basis points since June, fueled optimism for economic growth as borrowing costs eased. This policy shift spurred strong stock buying, driving the TSX to an 18% annual gain, marking its best performance since 2021.
