Fundamentals

Canada

Housing Starts

Housing starts in Canada probably fell to the seasonally adjusted annual level of 179 000 in February, according to expectations. If so, this would be the lowest number of housing starts since March 2014, when a level of 156 600 was reported. In January the number of housing starts was at 187 300. Housing starts are considered as a key indicator, reflecting the strength of the nation’s housing sector. In case the number of housing starts dropped more than expected, this might have a bearish effect on the loonie. Canada’s Mortgage and Housing Corporation will release the official numbers at 13:15 GMT.
