随着财报季临近,美国股票投资者将关注地缘政治风险。

-- 美国股市投资者将关注中东日益加剧的地缘政治风险,同时密切关注第一季度财报和零售销售数据。 * 据多家媒体报道,美国海军在阿曼湾扣押了一艘伊朗货船后,伊朗誓言进行报复,此举危及原定于本周在巴基斯坦举行的第二轮谈判,该谈判旨在为德黑兰寻求持久和平的解决方案。 * 据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道,美国副总统万斯和多位高级官员原计划前往伊斯兰堡,但伊朗外交部坚称没有会谈计划。美伊双方互相指责对方违反的停火协议将于周三到期。 * 此前,由于市场乐观认为伊朗和平协议无需延长为期两周的停火协议即可达成,标普500指数、纳斯达克综合指数和道琼斯工业平均指数期货在上周五创下新高。但周一早盘,由于担心中东战争升级,这些指数期货大幅下跌。 * 西德克萨斯中质原油期货价格飙升7.2%,至每桶89.92美元;布伦特原油期货价格在盘前交易中上涨6.3%,至每桶96.10美元。受原油价格高企可能对通胀造成的影响,黄金期货价格下跌1.5%,至每盎司4808.8美元;白银期货价格下跌3%,至每盎司79.37美元。同样,大多数美国国债收益率上升,其中10年期国债收益率上涨2.2个基点至4.27%,2年期国债收益率上涨3.5个基点至3.74%。 * 本周季度财报的焦点将是特斯拉(TSLA)以及一些科技公司,例如英特尔(INTC)、IBM(IBM)、Lam Research(LRCX)、德州仪器(TXN)和SAP(SAP)。预计本周将公布财报的其他大型公司包括美国运通 (AXP)、通用电气Vernova (GEV)、波音 (BA) 和联合健康 (UNH)。 * 在美国宏观经济数据方面,投资者将关注零售销售、标普全球制造业和服务业采购经理人指数 (PMI)、ADP就业人数变化、首次申请失业救济人数以及密歇根州消费者信心指数的最终数据,同时还将关注密歇根州未来一年和五年的通胀预期。

Canada's April CPI Will Jump to Around 3% Y/Y After March's Surge, Says CIBC

Everyone knew that Canada's inflation would jump in March due to higher gasoline prices, but the only question remaining was how high would it jump, said CIBC after Monday's consumer price index data.The 2.4% year-over-year headline reading, driven by a 0.9% non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) month-over-month increase (0.5% after seasonal adjustment), was actually slightly below the consensus expectation (2.6%), although still a sharp acceleration from 1.8% year over year in the prior month, noted the bank."Of course" higher gasoline prices were the primary driver of the acceleration in inflation, with only limited sign of pass-through to other areas yet, said CIBC. Indeed, if anything, core inflation was tamer than expected in March, with four measures (CPI-Trim, Median, CPI-X and excluding food/energy) averaging 0.1% month over month and 1.4% on a three-month annualized basis, it added, while noting telephone services saw a big decline on the month, which had a strong downward impact on the CPI-X and ex food/energy measures of core inflation.Looking forward, CIBC said a further rise in gasoline prices will see headline inflation jump to around 3% next month, before hopefully easing back slightly in May, partly due to the temporary suspension of the federal fuel excise tax (worth about -0.2% percentage point to headline inflation for May).Pass-through from higher energy prices into core measures of inflation may become more evident closer to the summer months, particularly as higher air fares are picked up more fully, but slack within the Canadian economy should prevent those measures from reaccelerating too much, enabling the Bank of Canada to remain on the sidelines through 2026, it added.
