Canadian Economy Weakens, as the Ivey Indicator Dives
The Canadian Ivey PMI indicator posted a sharp decline for September
Skerdian Meta•Thursday, October 8, 2020•1 min read
The Canadian economy went through a major contraction during the lockdown months, as most major economies did. The economic recovery after the reopening came later and was slower than in other countries. Now, the economy is weakening again.
Core retail sales declined in July, while the CPI (Consumer Price Index) inflation turned negative in August. Yesterday, the Ivey PMI report for September posted a sharp decline for that month. If the data keeps softening, the CAD will turn bearish, sending the USD/CAD pair higher, although crude oil also has a say in the Canadian Dollar.
