Summary

  • Rising inflationary levels and the current increase in job gains reported by Statistics Canada have added fuel to rate hike expectations in the coming week.
  • Enerflex, a manufacturer of natural gas transportation equipment, reported a record revenue of CA$825 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2023.
  • Trican and Linamar reported YTD gains of 1.96%  and 12.41% as per their closing price on Monday.

The Canadian economy has been observing a barrage of indications pointing towards a potential rate hike in the next policy meet. Be it the rising inflation or the current increase in job gains reported by Statistics Canada, the current circumstances have further strengthened the chances of a rate hike by the central bank.

Rate hike expectations have led to slower property sales across the country as buyers anticipate increased borrowing costs in near future. Meanwhile, the banking sector could potentially perform relatively well as interest rates are on the increase.
