TORONTO — Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Inflation
Statistics Canada will put out its latest reading for inflation on Tuesday when it publishes its consumer price index for April. The annual inflation rate is expected to cool compared with March as April saw the end of the consumer carbon levy. The annual inflation rate was 2.3 per cent in March.
Canada Goose results
Canada Goose Holdings Inc. will report its fourth-quarter and full-year financial results before markets open on Wednesday. The results come after the luxury parka maker warned earlier this year of headwinds materializing in China.
Auto outlook
The Canadian Club Toronto holds a discussion Wednesday on the outlook for the Canadian auto industry with Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, and Rob Wildeboer, executive chairman at Martinrea International Inc.
TD Bank
TD Bank Group will report its second-quarter results before markets open on Thursday. TD has been working to recover from the fallout of its anti-money laundering failures south of the border that saw it agree to pay billions in fines and plead guilty to multiple charges.
Retail sales
Statistics Canada will release its retail sales figures for March on Friday. The agency's advance estimate for the month pointed to an increase of 0.7 per cent. Retail sales in February were down 0.4 per cent at $69.3 billion.
