The latest data from the Canadian economy was mixed - labour market data disappointed while PMIs showed a small beat. Manufacturing sales print for June is expected to show a 1.8% MoM decline. However, the reading is unlikely to trigger a bigger price move or trend reversal. Such a move may be trigger on 4th of September when Bank of Canada announces rate decision.
