Canadá Vendas no Varejo (mensal)

Retail sales in Canada were set to have remain unchanged from the previous month in October of 2025, according to a preliminary estimate. This would maintain the 0.7% decline in September, which was in line with the preliminary estimate, and reversing the 1% increase in August as uncertainty surrounding trade with the US and the rate outlook for the BoC impacted consumer's purchasing patterns. Retail turnover was sharply down for motor vehicles and parts dealers (-2.9%), largely focused around new car dealerships (-3.6%). In the meantime, turnover also fell for building material and garden equipment dealers (-2%) and merchandise retailers (-0.5%). Conversely, sales were higher in food and beverage retailers (0.8%) and gasoline stations (1.9%), which recorded a higher turnover despite the drop in volumes (-1%). From the previous year, retail turnover in Canada rose 3.4%.
