Canadian monthly GDP report for August was released today at 12:30 pm GMT. Report was expected to show a 0.1% MoM expansion of the Canadian economy, following a lack of growth (0.0% MoM) in July. However, actual data showed the Canadian economy stagnating and showing no growth (0.0% MoM) for another month in a row. CAD saw a negative reaction to the release with USDCAD moving higher in a knee-jerk move.
