Canada's unemployment rate somewhat unexpectedly fell to 6.9% in June, while Metro Vancouver's dipped to 5.8%. We'll need a few more months of data to determine whether this is just a blip or the beginning of a positive trend.


The Consumer Price Index rose 1.9% year-on-year in June, up from 1.7% in May. Core measures of inflation also inched higher, reaching--and exceeding--the upper end of the Bank of Canada's desired range for inflation, at 3.0% (for CPI Trim) and 3.1% (for CPI Median).


Based on the direction of change in the latest jobs and inflation data, there's virtually no chance the Bank of Canada lowers its trend-setting interest rate at its upcoming July 30th meeting.
