  • Inflation in Canada slows more than expected to 1.7% in July

    From uk.finance.yahoo.com

    Canada’s inflation rate slowed in July, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) registering 1.7 per cent growth annually, according to Statistics Canada data released Tuesday. Financial industry experts had expected inflation to cool slightly to 1.8 per cent, according to consensus estimates published by BMO Economics. In a note last Friday, economist Benjamin Reitzes argued that the Bank of Canada “needs to see at least a couple of months (and probably three) of decelerating inflation before further rate cuts are on the table.” In June, CPI increased to 1.9 per cent from 1.7 per cent the month before.

Canada Inflation Eases to 1.7% as Gasoline Plunges

Canada’s annual inflation rate slowed to 1.7% in July 2025, easing from 1.9% in June and slightly below market expectations of 1.8%. This marked the fourth consecutive month with inflation staying under the Bank of Canada’s 2% target midpoint.

The biggest drag came from energy. Gasoline prices fell 16.1% in July, following a 13.4% decline in June, with the removal of the consumer carbon levy in April adding further downward pressure on costs.

Core Pressures Remain Elevated

Excluding gasoline, consumer prices rose 2.5%, holding steady with May and June’s pace. Essential categories such as food and shelter continued to climb, showing the persistent burden on households:

Food prices: +3.3% (vs. +2.9% in June)
Shelter costs: +3% (vs. +2.9% in June)

Natural gas prices eased slightly, but not enough to offset the sharp rise in grocery and housing costs.

Core Inflation Steady at 3%
The trimmed-mean core CPI, the Bank of Canada’s preferred measure of underlying inflation, held at 3% for the third month in a row, suggesting that price pressures remain entrenched beneath the headline figure. CPI rose 0.3% monthly in July, picking up from a modest 0.1% in June and broadly in line with forecasts.

While headline inflation shows signs of cooling, core indicators highlight the challenge for policymakers. The Bank of Canada continues to balance moderating energy-driven disinflation with persistent price growth in essentials, a mix that stresses the tension between growth prospects, household affordability, and inflation control.
