The indicator of retail sales shows the change in the total value of sales at the retail level. The core version of this indicator is almost the same but without automobile sales. Last time, both indicators were not so encouraging. While the headline indicator increased by 0.4% (vs. +1% expected), the core one rose only by 0.5% (vs. the forecast of +0.9%). The Canadian dollar weakened after the release.
- If the indicators are higher than the forecasts, the CAD will go up;
