27.02.2026 - US PPI & Canada GDP
- US producer prices (PPI) rose 2.9% year-on-year in January, exceeding expectations of 2.6%, and 0.5% month-on-month, compared to the forecast of 0.3%, indicating stronger-than-expected inflationary pressures at the producer level.
- The Canadian economy contracted by an annualized 0.6% in the fourth quarter, significantly worse than the estimated -0.2%, confirming a deepening economic slowdown.
The US dollar is gaining against the CAD on these data releases. The very dovish reading in Canada contrasts with the hawkish PPI reading in the US.
