周五，标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数上涨0.2%，收于28565点的新纪录，8月收盘上涨约4.8%，大银行盈利和矿商反弹共同推动该指数走高。包括加拿大皇家银行和道明银行在内的主要贷款机构惊讶地发现，贷款损失准备金大幅降低，资本市场和费用收入强劲，这收紧了信贷息差，释放了用于回购和股息的资本，并将资金回流到指数权重集中的金融领域。加拿大统计局报告称，由于出口和商业投资疲软，第二季度实际国内生产总值环比收缩0.4%，这一数据推动市场对加拿大银行早些时候放松政策和压缩利率敏感股票的贴现率进行定价。与此同时，随着黄金价格飙升至新高，大型矿业公司的表现优于其他公司。Agnico Eagle、Wheaton Precious、Barrick Mining和Franco Nevada上涨1.2%至3.4%。

The S&P/TSX Composite rose 0.2% to close at a fresh record of 28,565 on Friday and finished August up about 4.8% as a clean finish to big bank earnings and a miners rally combined to push the index higher. Major lenders including RBC and TD surprised with materially lower loan loss provisions and stronger capital markets and fee income which tightened credit spreads, freed capital for buybacks and dividends, and drew flows back into financials where index weight is concentrated. That corporate tailwind met a weaker macro backdrop after Statistics Canada reported Q2 real GDP contracted 0.4% quarter on quarter driven by export and business investment weakness, a print that pushed markets to price earlier Bank of Canada easing and compressed discount rates for rate sensitive equities. At the same time large mining names outperformed as gold raced to new highs. Agnico Eagle, Wheaton Precious, Barrick Mining, and Franco-Nevada added between 1.2% and 3.4%.
