Canada September 2018 retail sales data

  • Prior was -0.1% (unrevised)
  • Retail sales ex autos +0.1% vs +0.3% exp
  • Prior sales ex autos -0.4% (unrevised)

The kneejerk in the Canadian dollar was higher on this number and CPI but below the headlines both aren't as bullish as they seem. Core sales here are on the softer side.
