Canada July wholesale trade most likely down 1.1% - Statscan flash estimate teaser image

Aug 27 (Reuters) - Canadian wholesale trade most likely fell 1.1% in July from June, largely driven by lower sales in the motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts and accessories, and the personal and household goods subsectors, Statistics Canada said in a flash estimate on Tuesday.

The estimate was calculated based on a weighted response rate of 61.4%. The average weighted response rate for the survey over the previous 12 months has been 81.3%.
