      Canada's Retail Sales Decline Less Than Expected in July

      Canadian retail sales experienced a slight decline of 0.7% in July, a decrease that was less severe than the anticipated 0.8%. According to Statistics Canada, the total sales amounted to C$73.7 billion, following a 0.6% increase in June. The report indicated that sales fell in eight out of nine subsectors, highlighting a broader trend of reduced consumer spending.

      Excluding automobiles, retail sales also dropped by 0.7%, compared to an expected decline of 0.5%. Core retail sales, which exclude both autos and gasoline, mirrored this trend with a 0.7% decrease after a 1.2% rise in June. The volume of sales saw a more significant decline of 1.1%, suggesting that consumers purchased fewer goods rather than simply facing lower prices.

      Ontario recorded the largest provincial decline in dollar terms, with a 2.0% drop, while Alberta saw a 1.4% increase. Retail e-commerce sales fell by 3.5%, accounting for 7.5% of total retail trade, down from 7.7% in June. Despite the overall decline, an early estimate for August indicates a potential rebound of 1.3%, based on responses from 57.8% of surveyed companies, although this figure is subject to revision.
