财政部回应称，去年四季度以来，中国政府实施一揽子宏观经济调控政策，经济指标回升向好，市场预期和信心稳定，债务中长期可持续性增 强，穆迪作出维持中国主权信用评级稳定的决定，是对中国经济向好前景的正面反映。 当日，美元指数盘中跳水至98.6921，创三周新低。受此影响，在岸、离岸人民币汇率双双上扬，离岸人民币（CNH）一度升破7.17关口，最高触 及7.16155元，创2024年12月以来新高，且自上个月以来，离岸人民币在1个多月内跌幅超2500个基点。市场分析认为，自穆迪下调美国信用评级 后，市场对美国双赤字担忧加深，美联储官员谨慎言论打压市场情绪，预计政策暂停将延续至7月会议，美元开启新一轮跌势。此外，美联储最新 会议纪要释放"鹰派观望"信号，降息预期推迟至9月，美国4月耐用品订单数据不及预期，也导致美元短期获利回吐。 机构方面，高盛外汇策略团队指出，若美元指数持续回落，人民币短期或测试7.15阻力位，但下半年走势仍需观察中美货币政策分化程度。近 期，中国央行通过逆回购、MLF等工具维持流动性宽松，叠加稳增长政策提振市场信心，中美利差预期收窄，部分做空人民币的套利资金加速离 场。中金公司表示，企业结汇需求季节 ...

宁德时代港股上市是今年以来全球最大一笔IPO融资，采用Regulation S 规则将大部分美国境内的投资者排 除在外，国际配售中非美外资投资者占比很高。同时，宁德时代上市之后还罕见出现了H股较A股溢价近 11%。 券商中国记者研究发现，从宁德时代的港股IPO和上市表现来看，A+H股已经出现了三大变化： 今年以来，随着港股市场表现好转，A/H股之间的折溢价有所收敛，但大多数A+H股的上市公司A/H股的价差 仍然存在，不过也有个别代表性的龙头企业被A股和H股市场充分定价，价差收敛和波动的幅度已经非常小。 | | 部分公司AH股溢价情况 | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 名称 | H股价格(折算成元) | A股价格(元) | A股溢价率(%) | | 宇德时代 | 302.95 | 270.37 | -10.75 | | 比亚迪股份 | 419.06 | 398.80 | -4.83 | | 招商银行 | 45.70 | 44.51 | -2.60 | | 药明康德 | 61.64 | 62.79 | 1.87 | | 亿华通 | 20.53 | 21.17 | 3.12 | | ...

TORONTO, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ontario Budget 2025, the first budget tabled by Doug Ford’s Conservatives since the recent election, is not a plan to protect Ontario, it’s a plan to reward Conservative insiders. In the face of skyrocketing costs, job losses, and crumbling public services, Ontario Budget 2025 fails to deliver what Ontarians actually need: higher wages, strong public services, and decent, secure work. Instead, it doubles down on corporate handouts, privatization, and deregulation, m ...
