Canada consumer inflation jumps in June
There was good news on the inflation front, as consumer inflation climbed 0.8% in June. This was a strong improvement from 0.3% in May and marked the sharpest one-month gain since January 2017. The core read gained 0.4% after back-to-back declines. The strong inflation data comes on the heels of excellent retail sales numbers in May – the headline figure came in at 18.7% and the core reading posted a gain of 10.6%. Is the Canadian consumer feeling comfortable opening the purse strings? It will take more than one a few releases to answer that question, but this week’s consumer spending and inflation data are indicative that a recovery is underway.
