The IHS Markit Canada Manufacturing PMI edged down to 56.5 in June of 2021 from 57 in the previous month. The latest reading pointed to the 12th straight month of expansion in the country's factory activity but the softest in four months. Canadian firms noted stronger demand, domestically and internationally, which supported solid production and hiring levels, although both were seen expanding at the slowest pace since February. On the price front, inflationary pressures remained high on raw material shortages, which fueled the steepest increase in input prices in almost three years. Costs were largely passed onto clients, however the inflation rate seen in output charges softened from May’s historic high. Business morale improved markedly to a 3-month high in June, underpinned by hopes of greater client demand and plans to expand business operations. source: Markit Economics
