Comment:
April’s flash estimate may provide a ‘heads-up’ for slower growth ahead (recall the MPR anticipated GDP slowing to 1.0% SAAR in Q2 after a strong start to the year). That would not detract from our view that a little more ‘insurance’ tightening from the BoC is appropriate amid sticky inflation and signs that the housing market is taking off again but softer growth data might add to near-term pressure on the CAD.
