加拿大原材料价格指数在4月份下跌3%后,于2025年5月环比下跌0.4%,这是连续第三个月下跌,低于0.8%的预期跌幅。这一下降主要是由原油能源产品推动的,原油能源产品比上个月下降了4.5%,常规原油下降了4.3%,部分原因是欧佩克产量增加和对全球原油市场潜在供应过剩的担忧,这给5月份的价格带来了下行压力。相比之下,金属矿石、精矿和废料的价格上涨了1.9%,其中黄金、白银和铂类金属上涨了2.4%。农产品价格也上涨了1.1%,原因是供应短缺导致油菜籽价格上涨了6.2%。与去年同期相比,RMPI下降了2.8%。
The Canadian Raw Materials Price Index fell 0.4% month-on-month in May 2025, following a 3% decline in April, marking the third consecutive monthly drop and coming in below expectations of a 0.8% decrease. The decline was mainly driven by crude energy products, which dropped 4.5% from the previous month, with conventional crude oil falling 4.3%, partly due to increased OPEC production and concerns about a potential oversupply in the global crude oil market, which put downward pressure on prices in May. In contrast, prices for metal ores, concentrates, and scrap rose by 1.9%, led by a 2.4% increase in the gold, silver, and platinum group of metals. Agricultural product prices also increased by 1.1%, driven by a 6.2% rise in canola prices due to supply shortages. On a year-over-year basis, the RMPI declined by 2.8%.
