Monthly Rate for November
Sales ex. Autos: 0.0%, pr. 0.2% (Nov), 1.0% (Oct), 0.5% (Sep),
From the Release: "Retail sales in current dollars declined 0.3% in November to $35.2 billion, after rising for three consecutive months. A contributing factor was lower winter clothing sales as a result of unseasonably warm weather throughout most of Canada. After removing the effects of price changes, particularly higher gasoline prices, retail sales in volume terms decreased 1.0% in November, the first decline since April 2009. Sales declined in five of eight retail store sectors in November. A 3.6% decrease at clothing and accessories stores was the largest drop in this sector since September 2002. Sales at general merchandisers, which include department stores, fell 2.8% in November. Sales at furniture, home furnishings and electronics stores rose 1.1%, their strongest increase of 2009. The automotive sector edged down 0.2% in November. Sales at new car dealers fell 2.2% after rising for six consecutive months. In contrast, gasoline stations (+2.4%) registered higher sales for a fourth consecutive month as prices at the pump increased. Sales at used and recreational motor vehicles and parts dealers (+1.1%) increased for a seventh consecutive month."

Monthly Rate for July
Sales ex Autos: -0.8%, pr. 1.0% (Jun), 0.6% R (May), -0.5% (Apr),
From the Release: "Retail sales in current dollars fell 0.6% to $34.2 billion in July. Most of the decline reflected lower prices at gasoline stations. In volume terms, retail sales edged down 0.1%. Retail sales have risen in five of the first seven months of 2009, following large drops at the end of 2008. Sales were down in five of eight retail sectors in July. In the automotive sector, the 1.0% decline in sales was due to a 3.4% fall in sales at gasoline stations as prices at the pump dropped. This was the third time in four months where sales at gasoline stations have been the largest contributor to the change in overall retail sales, reflecting swings in prices." |

Monthly Rate for March
Sales ex Autos: -0.2%, forecast -0.2%, pr. 0.6% (Feb), 1.3% (Jan),
From the Release: "Retail sales increased for the third consecutive month in March, rising 0.3% in current dollars to $33.9 billion. Higher sales at new car dealers was the main contributor to this increase. In volume terms, retail sales rose 0.7%. The three consecutive months of gains in retail sales in current dollars have not completely offset the sharp declines reported in November and December. March's retail sales stood 6.3% lower than the peak reached in September 2008. Most of this decline reflects price changes. In volume terms, sales are down 2.6% from September 2008. The main contributor to the rise in retail sales was a 3.6% increase in sales at new car dealers. This was lower than the 6.3% rise in the number of new motor vehicles sold reported by the New Motor Vehicle Sales Survey, as dealers offered higher rebates. The automotive sector as a whole increased by 0.5%, as the rise in sales at new car dealers was partially offset by lower sales at gasoline stations (-2.8%) and used and recreational motor vehicle and parts dealers (-2.6%)."
