Canadian Highlights

• Housing data for May suggests that residential investment is set to grow for the first time in five quarters.
• At least two rate cuts are priced in for the U.S. Federal Reserve, the bar remains high for a rate cut in Canada. Absent a realization of downside risks, don’t bet on a rate cut by the Bank of Canada this year.

U.S. Highlights

• A potential trade war between U.S. and Mexico was averted, but global trade uncertainty remains.
• Despite markets pricing in rate cuts, domestic indicators suggest that the U.S. economy is on decent footing. Inflation remains stubbornly low, however.
• The Fed rate decision next week is clouded by conflicting signals, but we believe it will likely feature an easing bias.
