8月,加拿大10年期政府债券收益率攀升至3.44%以上,创两周新高,因为美国收益率在生产者价格高于预期后走高,降低了美联储近期降息的紧迫性。在国内,6月份的经济活动比人们担心的要强劲,石油、煤炭和食品的制造业销售额增长了0.3%,而批发贸易增长了0.7%,达到847亿加元,这表明经济增长即将停滞。通胀有所降温,但并未“完成任务”,因为中国央行首选的通胀指标——经调整的平均值——在6月份停滞在仍然较高的3%,这使得加拿大央行几乎没有动力加快削减。该行7月份的决定和会议纪要强化了这一立场。它将政策利率下调至2.75%,但鉴于持续的服务价格惯性以及评估关税和需求降温的反对力量的必要性,发誓要谨慎行事,这促使投资者将长期收益率重新定价上调。
The yield on the Canadian 10-year government bond climbed above 3.44% in August to a two-week high as US yields moved higher after hotter-than-expected producer prices, reducing urgency for near-term Fed cuts. Domestically, June activity came in firmer than feared, manufacturing sales rose 0.3% on petroleum, coal and food, while wholesale trade climbed 0.7% to C$84.7 billion, which argues against an imminent growth stall. Inflation is cooler but not “mission accomplished” as the BoC’s preferred inflation gauge, the trimmed mean, stalled at a still-elevated 3% in June, leaving the Bank of Canada little incentive to accelerate cuts. The Bank’s July decision and minutes reinforced that stance. It trimmed the policy rate to 2.75% but vowed to proceed carefully given persistent service-price inertia and the need to assess opposing forces from tariffs and cooling demand, prompting investors to reprice longer-term yields upward.
