标准普尔/多伦多证券交易所综合指数周四下跌1.2%,收于21698点,创下八周新低,因为投资者消化了美联储的鹰派利率决定,这标志着今年只降息一次。因此,对信贷敏感、与商品挂钩的股票和金融部门大幅下跌。随着能源需求前景的恶化,油价仍然低迷,Cenovus、Canadian Natural和Suncor等主要能源股下跌3.8%,成为当天表现最差的股票之一,导致能源板块平均下跌3.1%。同样,该指数的最大组成部分面临着来自拖欠风险的新压力,导致道明银行和加拿大皇家银行分别下跌1.6%和1%。与此同时,在周三的蒙特利尔会议上,中国央行行长蒂夫·麦克勒姆表示,尽管央行偏离美联储降息的能力有限,但尚未达到这一极限。
The S&P/TSX Composite Index dropped 1.2% to close at 21,698 on Thursday, marking an eight-week low as investors digested the hawkish rate decision from the US Fed, which signaled only a single rate reduction this year. Consequently, credit-sensitive, commodity-linked stocks and the financial sector posted sharp losses. With a souring demand outlook for energy, oil prices remained subdued, dragging major energy stocks like Cenovus down 3.8%, Canadian Natural down 3.4%, and Suncor down 2.9%, making them among the day’s worst performers and resulting in an average decline of 3.1% in the energy sector. Similarly, the largest components of the index faced renewed pressure from delinquency risks, causing TD Bank and RBC to shed 1.6% and 1%, respectively. Meanwhile, at a Montreal conference on Wednesday, BoC Governor Tiff Macklem indicated that while the central bank's ability to diverge from the Fed's rate cuts is limited, they have not yet reached that limit.
