CAD
The Canadian dollar has had a week of worse data.
On Tuesday, the core inflation rate came out and declined to 2.7 % year-on-year, marking the mildest pace of growth since 3/2021. Core inflation slowed to 1.6 %, the lowest level in 3 years. The data signal that the start of rate cuts is imminent.
We got the retail data at the end of the week. Month-over-month retail sales came in slightly worse than expected and worse than the prior period, marking the third straight decline, revised from the preliminary stagnation reading. The decline was largely due to a drop in core retail sales, which also came in worse, specifically at -0.6 % versus -0.2 % in the previous period.
