周五，由于投资者正在重新评估货币政策路径，标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数仅下跌0.2%，收于20500点。一方面，强于预期的劳动力数据增加了央行可能采取更积极措施收紧政策的可能性。11月，加拿大失业率意外下降了0.1个百分点，降至5.1%，失业人数下降了2万多人，增加了1万多个就业岗位。与此同时，美国工资数据显示，美国经济增加了26.3万个就业岗位，远高于20万个的预期。然而，另一方面，美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔（Jerome Powell）表示，确认加息最早将在12月开始放缓，投资者对此稍作喘息。
The S&P/TSX Composite index closed down only 0.2% at the 20,500 level on Friday, as investors were reassessing the monetary policy path. On one hand, stronger-than-expected labor data increased bets that central banks could move more aggressively to tighten policy. The Canadian unemployment rate unexpectedly fell by 0.1 percentage point to 5.1% in November, as unemployment fell by over 20 thousand people and over 10 thousand jobs were added, In the meantime, US payroll data showed that 263 thousand jobs were added to the US economy, well above expectations of 200 thousand. Still, on the other hand, investors took a respite from Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks that confirmed rate hikes would slow starting as early as December.
