中国的外汇储备从7月份的3.256万亿美元增加到2024年8月的3.288万亿美元，增加了318亿美元，而预测为3.29万亿美元。这是连续第二个月的扩张，达到2015年12月以来的最高水平，因为美元兑其他货币下跌。上个月，人民币兑美元汇率上涨1.9%，而美元兑一篮子其他主要货币汇率下跌2.2%。与此同时，黄金储备在连续18个月上涨后，连续第四个月保持不变，为7280万金衡盎司，但其价值从7月份的1766.4亿美元攀升至1829.8亿美元，这得益于金价创下历史新高。

China's foreign exchange reserves increased by $ 31.8 billion to reach $3.288 trillion in August 2024 from $3.256 trillion in July, compared with forecasts of $ 3.29 trillion. It was the second straight month of expansion, hitting the highest level since December 2015, as the dollar fell against other currencies. Last month, the yuan gained by 1.9% against the dollar, while the dollar weakened by 2.2% against a basket of other major currencies. Meanwhile, gold reserves remained unchanged for the fourth straight month at 72.8 million troy ounces, after a gain for 18 consecutive months, but its value climbed to $182.98 billion from $176.64 billion in July, boosted by higher gold prices to a record high.

US stocks fell on Friday, weighed down by concerns over a slowing labor market and a tech selloff. The S&P 500 dropped 1.7%, the Dow lost 409 points, and the Nasdaq fell 2.5%. Big tech companies like Amazon (-3.6%), Alphabet (-4%) and Meta (-3.2%) saw significant losses, with chipmakers such as Broadcom (-10.3%) and Nvidia (-4.1%) also faced sharp declines. The August jobs report, which showed 142K new jobs versus the 161K expected, added to market jitters. In addition, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller’s comments heightened expectations of a larger rate cut in September. He emphasized rising risks in the labor market and expressed openness to a more substantial rate cut if necessary. For the week, the S&P 500 lost about 4%, marking its worst week since March 2023. The Nasdaq sank 5.6% to book its worst start to September since 2001. The Dow slipped 2.5% and posted its steepest early-September decline since 2008.

标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数扭转早盘涨势，周五收于22781点，下跌0.9%，反映出全球风险资产抛售，因为低于预期的就业数据重新引发了对美国经济衰退的担忧。在国内，加拿大的失业率在2024年8月攀升至6.6%，为2021年10月以来的最高水平，高于6.5%的预测，这强化了加拿大央行对劳动力市场疲软的看法，并支持进一步降息的理由。由于就业增长放缓和价格压力加剧，经济活动也出现了13个月来的首次收缩，艾维PMI降至48.2，为2020年12月以来的最低水平。Shopify领跌多伦多交易所，暴跌4.1%，而大宗商品价格疲软对能源行业和主要矿商造成压力，森科尔（-1.4%）、阿格尼科（-1.9%）、帝国石油（-2.2%）、加拿大天然气公司（-1.3%）、巴里克黄金公司（-1.9%，Cenovus公司（-1.5%）表现不佳。多伦多证券交易所本周下跌2.4%。

The S&P/TSX Composite Index reversed early gains to close 0.9% lower at 22,781 on Friday, mirroring a global selloff in risk assets as US recession fears were reignited by weaker-than-expected jobs data. Domestically, Canada’s unemployment rate climbed to 6.6% in August 2024, the highest since October 2021 and above forecasts of 6.5%, reinforcing the Bank of Canada’s view of a weakening labor market and supporting the case for further rate cuts. Economic activity also contracted for the first time in 13 months, with the Ivey PMI dropping to 48.2, its lowest since December 2020, amid slowing employment growth and intensified price pressures. Leading the declines on the Toronto exchange, Shopify plunged 4.1%, while weaker commodity prices weighed on the energy sector and key miners, with Suncor (-1.4%), Agnico (-1.9%), Imperial Oil (-2.2%), Canadian Natural (-1.3%), Barrick Gold (-1.9%), and Cenovus (-1.5%) underperforming. The TSX lost 2.4% for the week.
