Some stale, low-tier Canadian data

  • Prior was +1.3%
  • Inventories +0.6%
  • Sales -0.4% in volume terms

Strong sales in machinery, equipment and supplies were offset by declines in food & beverages, building materials and farm products.

The Canadian dollar is the only currency that's up against the US dollar so far today. It's getting a boost from the 2.5% rally in crude and this report is unlikely to make a difference.
