National Bank Previews This Week's CPI, Retail Sales Data in Canada

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 01/19/26 07:25 AM EST

07:25 AM EST, 01/19/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Canada is scheduled to publish the consumer price index data for December at 8:30 a.m. ET on Monday, said National Bank of Canada.

In Canada, the main event will be the publication of the CPI for December, noted the bank.

The drop in gasoline prices could translate into a 0.6% month-over-month decrease in headline inflation during the month not seasonally adjusted, stated National Bank. If it's right, the annual rate could move down by two-tenths of a percentage point to 2.0%.

Still in Canada, the November retail sales report will also be closely watched on Friday, added the bank.

Overall, headline goods expenditure should have risen by 1.2% month over month, according to National Bank. Excluding automobiles, sales may have performed even better, rising by 1.6% in the month.

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.
