Canada January factory sales most likely down 3.3% - Statscan flash estimate

Feb 24 (Reuters) - Canadian factory sales most likely fell 3.3% in January from December, largely driven by lower sales in the transportation equipment and machinery subsectors, Statistics Canada said in a flash estimate on Tuesday.

The estimate was calculated based on a weighted response rate of 71.9%. The average weighted response rate for the survey over the previous 12 months has been 92.9%.
