追踪加拿大标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数的期货周四上涨，受油价和金价上涨的支撑。在对俄罗斯能源巨头实施制裁后，石油价格攀升，在周三上涨后支撑了能源行业。加拿大自然资源公司、森科尔能源公司和帝国石油公司预计将扩大进展。在企业新闻中，由于美国税收支出增加，Precision Drilling出现季度净亏损。随着美国对俄罗斯实施新的制裁和可能对中国实施出口管制，地缘政治紧张局势升级，黄金反弹，提振了避险需求。这提振了人们对加拿大矿业指数的乐观情绪，尤其是对黄金巨头Agnico Eagle和Barrick的乐观情绪。预计今天公布的零售销售数据将显示8月份增长1%，这可能会支持Alimentation Couche Tard、Dollarama和Loblaw等零售商。与此同时，英国首相马克·卡尼表示，他的第一份预算将减少对美国的依赖，遏制浪费性支出，从而提振乐观情绪。

Futures tracking Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite Index rose on Thursday, supported by gains in oil and gold prices. Oil climbed following sanctions on Russian energy giants, supporting the energy sector after Wednesday’s gains. Canadian Natural Resources, Suncor Energy, and Imperial Oil are expected to extend advances. In corporate news, Precision Drilling swung to a quarterly net loss due to higher US tax expenses. Gold rebounded as geopolitical tensions escalated after new US sanctions on Russia and potential export controls on China, boosting safe-haven demand. That lifted optimism for Canada’s mining-heavy index, particularly for gold majors Agnico Eagle and Barrick. Retail sales data due today are forecast to show a 1% rise in August, which could support retailers such as Alimentation Couche-Tard, Dollarama, and Loblaw. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney said his first budget will reduce reliance on the US and curb wasteful spending, fueling optimism.
