Wrap-Up Leading Indicators: The Road to Recovery  Historic interest rate cuts have provided stimulus. Average GDP growth likely by end of 2010.  Low rates initially prompted a recovery in big- ticket consumer spending on homes and cars.  Broader retail spending has improved as well, pointing to stronger consumer confidence. Still waiting on stronger US demand leading to X increased exports, especially auto-related

Wrap-Up GDP and Lagging Indicators: Sustainable Growth?  June GDP release starting to confirm consensus view that Q3 will experience economic growth The unemployment rate will be volatile and could ? get worse before it gets better. Should start to see job market recovery in second half of 2010. If the Bank of Canada is correct about inflation, ? we should see orderly, incremental rate increases. Value of Canadian dollar now more of a concern. ? Bank of Canada has “pushed forward” outlook.
