Canada Canadian auto sales posted only a weak rebound in June with the reopening of provincial economies as low inventory curbed purchases. DesRosiers Automotive Consultants Inc. estimates 163 k vehicles were sold—a 4% improvement relative to last year but still 12% down relative to June 2019 USA US auto sales felt the pinch of the semiconductor chip shortage with a sharp retrenchment of 10% m/m (sa) in June. Year-over-year sales were up by 18%, but, more informatively, the selling rate stood at just 15.4 mn saar units. https://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/about/economics/economics-publications/post.other-publications.autos.auto-news-flash.july-6--2021.html 1.
