Retail Sales in Canada increased by 0.7% on a monthly basis to C$66.9 billion, Statistics Canada reported on Thursday. This reading followed a 0.5% advance in September (revised from 0.6%) and came in below the expectation of a 0.8% increase expected.
In the same period, Retail Sales ex Autos rose by 0.6%, above the 0.5% of market consensus. "Core retail sales—which exclude gasoline stations and fuel vendors and motor vehicle and parts dealers—were up 1.2% in October," the press release further read.
Statistics Canada provided an advance estimate of retail sales for November, "which suggests that sales were relatively unchanged".
