GDP Offers The Main CAD Macro Event Of The Week [1/2]

CANADA
  • Canada GDP for May/Jun advance is released at 0830ET.
  • Consensus sticks to the 0.1% M/M indicated by last month’s advance estimate, moderation after a strong 0.3% in April.
  • It would yield 1.0% Y/Y in May whilst also leave a 3m/3m pace of 2.1% annualized.
  • The BoC forecast GDP growth of 1.5% in Q2 before an acceleration to 2.8% in Q3 in last week’s MPR (but as always note there can be differences in the monthly industry data and the quarterly expenditure approach that the BoC forecasts).
  • As for potential June readings, some analysts caution on a potential weak handoff to Q3 growth (see part two), of note with the BoC putting weight on growth accelerating to prevent a further build in excess supply.
  • The July MPR saw potential output growth slowing from ~2.25% in 2024 to a “more modest” average of 2% over 2025 and 2026, reflecting changes in the inflow of non-permanent residents.
  • BoC-dated OIS currently has ~22.5bps of cuts priced for September, i.e. eyeing strong odds of a third consecutive BoC cut. With Canadian jobs not landing until next Friday, it’s the main Canadian event of the week.
