COMMENTARY
ANDREW KELVIN, HEAD OF CANADIAN AND GLOBAL RATES STRATEGY AT TD SECURITIES
"Core inflation is still a little bit stronger than the headline number, which implies that the 2% number perhaps overstates the degree of which progress has been made on inflation."
"Still, the fact that we are returning to the Bank of Canada's inflation target will be immensely encouraging for the Bank of Canada, and will increase their confidence that they have accomplished their goals on quelling inflation, that will allow them to increase their focus on the outlook for growth and employment."
"It's going to be very interesting, because it's going to put the growth data in heightened focus and the Q3 data will be quite noisy due to rail strikes and the like. I think it's going to be a very interesting couple months in Canada."
DEREK HOLT, VICE PRESIDENT OF CAPITAL MARKETS ECONOMICS, SCOTIABANK
"The weighted median and trimmed mean accelerated again in the month of August - 2.9% month-over-month seasonally adjusted at an annualized rate for weighted median and 2.3% for trimmed mean."
"So July was a temporary soft patch. I still think that inflation risk is alive. I don't look at the year-over-year readings on some of the other headline gauges. I think the Bank (of Canada) is more focused on those readings I mentioned."
