Canada's Ivey PMI climbs to one-year high in July

BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 08/07/25 10:13 AM EDT

TORONTO, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Canadian economic activity expanded in July at the fastest pace in one year as employment rose, Ivey Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data showed on Thursday.

The seasonally adjusted index rose to 55.8 last month from 53.3 in June, posting its highest level since July 2024. A reading above 50 indicates an increase in activity.

The gauge of employment edged up to an adjusted 51.2 from 49.5 in June, while the prices index was at 68.5, down from 70.2.

The unadjusted PMI was unchanged from June at 54.6. (Reporting by Fergal Smith)

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
