多倫多證券交易所收盤:指數尾盤反彈,近14個交易日中第12個交易日上漲

-- 週一,多倫多證券交易所尾盤小幅上漲,投資人受到兩份國內經濟報告的提振。加拿大皇家銀行經濟部指出,儘管伊朗衝突持續,加拿大的商業信心依然「穩定」;而加拿大國家銀行則表示,加拿大當前的通膨環境「需要一些耐心」。 S&P/TSX綜合指數收盤上漲13.74點,報34,360.03點。該指數盤中大部分時間走低,部分原因是近期強勁上漲後出現獲利回吐,以及市場觀察家等待伊朗戰爭結束的緊張情緒。各板塊漲跌互現。其中,醫療保健部門上漲2.85%,資訊科技部門上漲近1.6%。電池金屬指數下跌近1.5%。 或許是為了反映全球投資者的情緒,麥格理集團全球外匯及利率策略師蒂埃里·維茲曼發表了一份題為《交易員並未放棄達成永久性美伊協議的希望》的報告。他在報告中指出,儘管週末傳來「令人不安」的消息,但本周初金融市場價格總體保持穩定。維茲曼補充說:“這意味著交易員並未放棄在幾週內達成永久性協議的希望。我們認為,只要交易員也認識到和平進程可能漫長而曲折,這種態度就是‘正確’的。畢竟,大多數和平進程都是如此。” 愛德華瓊斯在「每週總結」中指出,市場已迅速消化了最壞情況的風險,油價緩解、利率穩定以及企業盈利的韌性推動標普500指數創下歷史最快反彈之一。愛德華瓊斯表示,企業利潤仍然是其認為最持久的支撐,預計未來幾季多倫多證券交易所和標普500指數的獲利成長將繼續保持兩位數。 「儘管短期內市場可能出現停滯或盤整,但我們認為,如果市場能夠走上一條切實可行的緩和路徑,則有望恢復到年初的領先水平,週期性股票、中小市值股票、新興市場股票以及均衡增長型價值股將受到青睞。」該公司補充道。 加拿大皇家銀行今天上午表示,加拿大央行第一季商業展望調查顯示,儘管中東衝突持續,但2月和3月的商業信心和投資/招聘意向仍好於預期,但令人擔憂的是,3月份企業通膨預期小幅上升。 「綜合來看,這些結果與我們先前對2026年人均國內需求將緩慢改善、吸收剩餘經濟疲軟的預期基本一致。高油價的全面影響需要時間才能顯現,迄今為止,加拿大央行尚無真正緊迫的干預措施,」該行補充道。 加拿大皇家銀行的基本假設是,油價下降但仍處於高位,對加拿大經濟的影響相對中性,對非能源消費價格的二次影響有限。該行預計加拿大央行將密切關注通膨預期,但今年不會採取行動。 另一方面,加拿大國家銀行表示,加拿大央行的商業展望調查——「可以說是加拿大最重要的軟性數據發布」——顯示經濟前景有所改善。該行指出,最新調查(2026年第一季度,於2月5日至25日進行)顯示,在中東衝突爆發之前,人們對未來的銷售、招聘和投資意願的預期有所改善,而中東衝突也是調查後續電話會議討論的話題。 國家銀行在另一份報告中指出,儘管受中東危機影響,3月通膨壓力有所上升,但「總體而言,其幅度低於經濟學家普遍預期」。報告指出,年通膨率從2月的1.8%上升至3月的2.4%,但仍遠低於經濟學家預測的2.6%。國家銀行表示,3月最令經濟學家感到意外的是剔除食品和能源價格籃子的價格停滯不前。以三個月年化計算,這些價格僅上漲了0.5%,為兩年來最慢增速。 至於央行支持的兩個指標,國家銀行指出,它們的增速“較為溫和”,分別為2.0%和1.3%。作為參考,央行在去年1月曾預測,這兩項指標的平均成長率將達到2.5%(年比),遠高於實際成長率(2.3%)。 「今天早上的報告強化了我們的觀點,即央行目前應忽略能源價格上漲,維持利率不變。核心通膨依然可控,反映出經濟供應過剩。我們認為,能源價格飆升引發第二輪效應(工資推動型通膨)的風險不大。至於利率,在當前地緣政治不確定性和與華盛頓貿易緊張局勢的背景下,利率似乎遠未達到經濟 今日大宗商品方面,西德州中質原油價格上漲6.9%,此前伊朗再次關閉霍爾木茲海峽。此前,美國拒絕結束對伊朗港口的封鎖,並向一艘伊朗貨船開火並扣押。 5月交割的WTI原油期貨價格上漲5.76美元,收在每桶89.61美元;6月交屋的布蘭特原油期貨價格上漲4.74美元,收在每桶95.12美元。 但由於伊朗週五開放又關閉霍爾木茲海峽,導致人們對結束伊朗戰爭的希望破滅,加上市場擔憂通膨和利率上升,油價和美元走強,黃金價格下跌。 5月交割的黃金期貨價格下跌51.80美元,至每盎司4,827.80美元。

Research Alert: Aapl: Tim Cook Steps Down Earlier Than Thought; Well Planned And Minimizes Risk

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:AAPL announces CEO Tim Cook will step down September 1 after 15 years, with John Ternus (SVP Hardware Engineering) succeeding him, while Cook becomes Executive Chairman. Johny Srouji was promoted to Chief Hardware Officer, expanding his role beyond silicon to oversee all hardware engineering and technologies. We view this well-orchestrated succession as neutral to modestly positive despite being sooner than expected, addressing prior leadership continuity concerns while strategically pivoting from operational excellence to product-centric engineering leadership appropriate for AAPL's push into AI and foldables, among other categories. The four-month transition period with Cook's continued involvement as Executive Chairman mitigates execution risks (with Cook focusing on policy). Ternus brings 25 years of Apple experience, leading the Mac's Apple silicon transition and iPhone evolution. Srouji's elevation ensures continuity in Apple's silicon strategy, which has driven gross margins to the high-40% levels.
