Industrial Product Prices Tentatively Pause

CANADA
  • Industrial product price inflation unsurprisingly moderated in April from a downward revised but still extremely strong March.
  • Headline IPPI rose +0.8% M/M after +3.4% (the original +4% had been the strongest since the series started in Jan-1956) whilst IPPI ex food & energy paused with +0.1% M/M after three months averaging 1.8% M/M.
  • It shouldn’t change the outlook after M/M core CPI remained extremely strong in April and with retailers still having to absorb some surging cost pressures, but it gives brief respite.
  • Market reaction to the data in rates is muddied by growing risk-off moves and weaker US data, with GoCs following suit, whilst USDCAD has eased a touch lower, now sitting -0.6% M/M at 1.2809.
