The real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Canada expanded at an annualized rate of 2.9% in the third quarter, Statistics Canada reported on Tuesday. This reading followed the 3.2% (revised from 3.3%) growth recorded in the second quarter and missed the market expectation of 3.5% by a wide margin. On a quarterly basis, the real GDP grew by 0.7%.
“Growth in exports, non-residential structures, and business investment in inventories were moderated by declines in housing investment and household spending,” Statistics Canada noted in its press release.
The USD/CAD pair shot higher with the initial reaction and it was last seen trading at its highest level since November 10 at 1.3525, gaining 0.2% on a daily basis.
