Canada Exports Rise 0.5% MoM in February
Exports from Canada went up 0.5 percent from a month earlier to CAD 48.3 billion in February of 2020, above market expectations of CAD 47.7 billion, mainly driven by sales of aircraft and other transportation equipment & parts (18.5 percent). In particular, aircraft shipments (46.8 percent) reached the highest level in five years, largely due to an increase in exports of private jets. Sales also rose for motor vehicles & parts (3.1 percent), as exports of passenger cars and light trucks partially rebounded (4 percent), after falling 8.2 percent in January due to extended temporary shutdowns at certain automotive assembly plants. In contrast, exports of energy products fell 7 percent, namely crude oil (-6.5 percent) and refined petroleum products (-15 percent), in part because of lower prices. Exports to the US went up 2.5 percent while those to countries other than the US shrank 5.3 percent.

Canada Exports Fall 2% in January
Exports from Canada fell 2 percent from a month earlier to CAD 48.1 billion in January 2020, below market forecasts of CAD 50.1 billion. Sales of motor vehicles and parts dropped 4.1 percent to CAD 7.3 billion, the lowest level since May 2018, in particular passenger cars and light trucks (-8.2 percent), reflecting longer temporary shutdowns at certain assembly plants and the recent closure of the GM plant. Also, export of energy products declined 1.7 percent, of which natural gas (-26.2 percent), as temperatures across the US were above typical January levels, resulting in lower demand for natural gas, and coal (-23.6 percent). Exports to the US went down 1.7 percent namely passenger cars and light trucks; while those to countries other than the US shrank 2.8 percent.

Canada Exports Rebound in December
Exports from Canada rose 1.9 percent from a month earlier to CAD 49.3 billion in December 2019, following an upwardly revised 1.9 percent drop in November when disruptions in rail and pipeline transportation slowed Canadian trade activity. Still, figures came below market estimates of CAD 50.1 billion. The increase was driven by energy products (9.5%) posting the largest monthly gain, amid a strong rebound in crude oil exports (18%), as the rupture of the Keystone pipeline in North Dakota was solved before the end of November. However, sales fell for metal and non-metallic mineral products (-10.5%), dragged down by precious metals (mainly gold bars) which slumped 32.1 percent. Exports to the US rose 2.9 percent while those to countries other than the US shrank 0.9 percent. Considering the full year of 2019, total sales rose 1.7 percent over a year ago.
