Key Quotes
“We see modest downside risks to retail sales on a pullback in motor vehicle sales, which should leave sales down 0.2% m/m while ex-auto sales post a 0.3% gain (market: 0.0%, 0.5%).”
“We expect CPI to print in line with market expectations at 2.6% y/y, with prices up 0.4% m/m. Gasoline prices account for much of the strength in the monthly print and food prices should also make a positive contribution, leaving ex. food & energy measure up 0.2% m/m, though broader (BoC) measures of core inflation will be hard pressed to move any higher.”
