Paying Article

November 12, 2026 6:49 PM UTC

We expect Canadian employment to increase by 15k in a correction from three straight declines. GDP growth is likely to be slow in Q4 due to US tariffs but is unlikely to be negative, and that argues against a negative employment trend. We expect unemployment to slip back to 6.6% from 6.7%, while rem

November 12, 2026 5:56 PM UTC

We expect a 6.1% decline in October new home sales to 635k, which would be the lowest level since February. Even this would leave new home sales looking more resilient than other measures of housing demand.

We expect October PPI to increase by 0.4% overall and 0.3% ex food and energy, still too high for comfort but considerably slower than respective gains of 1.3% and 0.7% in September. Ex food, energy and trade, we expect only a marginal slowing, to 0.4% from 0.5% in September.

We expect October retail sales to rise by 0.2% overall and by 0.4% ex autos, with a 0.3% increase ex auto and gasoline. There is some risk that Q3’s impressive resilience in retail sales will fade in Q4, but we do not expect October data to give any strong signals of that.

We expect Canadian employment to increase by 20k in a correction from two straight sharp declines, though the rise should be seen as corrective with the economy likely to lose some momentum in Q4 due to fresh US tariffs. We expect unemployment to remain at September’s 6.5% rate, up from 6.4% in Ju

We expect September Canadian CPI to increase to 3.3% yr/yr in October from 3.1%, and to 3.27% from 3.09% before rounding. This would be the highest since December 2023. Energy will lead the increase, though we expect a marginal pick-up in CPI-Median, one of the Bank of Canada’s three core rates.
