???? 據路透社2月25日報道,因油價上漲,且加拿大國債收益率攀升速度快于美國國債,加元兌美元匯率周三升至三年來最高水平。加元兌美元匯率上漲0.5%,至1.2523,或79.85美分,觸及自2018年2月以來的最高水平1.2521。
????蒙特利爾銀行資本市場(BMO Capital Markets)外匯策略全球主管格雷格?安德森(Greg Anderson)表示:“加元的中期方向非常明確,除非油價向下修正,否則加元將進一步走強,因為它將慢慢趕上已經上漲的油價走勢。"
????今年年初以來,加拿大主要出口產品之一的石油上漲了30%以上,加元上漲了1.7%。
????周三,美國原油期貨價格上漲2.5%,收于每桶63.22美元,此前美國政府數據顯示,由于上周原油生產受到嚴重冰凍天氣的影響,原油產量出現下降。
????加拿大央行行長蒂夫·麥克倫(Tiff Macklem)周二表示,隨著新冠肺炎疫苗接種力度加大,加拿大經濟今年將出現堅實和持續的反彈,不過他同時警告稱,加拿大炙熱的房地產市場開始顯示出“過度繁榮”的跡象。
????加拿大政府公債收益率周三上揚,漲幅顯著。10年期國債收益率觸及去年2月以來的最高水平1.360%,隨后回落至1.316%,當日上漲7.1個基點。
????加拿大和美國10年期國債收益率差收窄5.5個基點至6.4個基點,這對美國國債有利。

????CANADA FX DEBT-Canadian dollar hits a 3-year high, playing catch-up with oil
????The Canadian dollar strengthened to its highest level in three years against its U.S. counterpart on Wednesday, as oil prices rose and Canadian bond yields climbed at a faster pace than their U.S. counterparts.
????The loonie was trading 0.5% higher at 1.2523 to the greenback, or 79.85 U.S. cents, having touched its strongest intraday level since February 2018 at 1.2521.
????"The medium term direction for CAD is pretty clear," said Greg Anderson, global head of foreign exchange strategy at BMO Capital Markets in New York. "Unless oil corrects lower, we should see further CAD strength as it slowly catches up to the oil move that has already happened."
????Oil, one of Canada's major exports, has rallied more than 30% since the beginning of the year, while the Canadian dollar is up 1.7%.
????U.S. crude oil futures settled 2.5% higher at $63.22 a barrel on Wednesday after U.S. government data showed a drop in crude output after a deep freeze disrupted production last week.
????Canada's economy will see a solid and sustained rebound this year as COVID-19 inoculations ramp up, Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem said on Tuesday, while warning that Canada's red-hot housing market is starting to show signs of "excess exuberance".
????Canadian government bond yields were higher across a steeper curve on Wednesday. The 10-year yield touched its highest since February last year at 1.360% before pulling back to 1.316%, up 7.1 basis points on the day.
????The gap between Canadian and U.S. 10-year yields narrowed by 5.5 basis points to 6.4 basis points in favour of the U.S. bond.
