Fundamentals

Canada

Producer Prices

Prices of industrial products in Canada probably remained flat in November, according to market expectations, after three consecutive months of decline. In October prices were down 0.5%, marking the steepest monthly slump since April 2015, when a 0.9% drop was reported. This index measures the change in prices of industrial goods, sold by manufacturers in the country. It is also used as an indicator of commodity inflation. In case the Industrial Product Price Index outpaced the median forecast by experts in November, this would have a limited bullish effect on the Canadian dollar, as the latter tends to be sensitive to changes in commodity prices. Statistics Canada is to release the official data at 13:30 GMT.
