OTTAWA, June 30 (Reuters) - The Canadian economy was unchanged in April from March, missing forecasts, before likely rebounding with a 0.4% jump in real gross domestic product in May, Statistics Canada said on Friday.
March GDP was upwardly revised to 0.1% growth from an initial report of flat growth.
Canada's goods-producing sector expanded 0.1% in April, but were offset by a slight decline in the service-producing sector.
The mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector and the utilities sector are expected to be post declines in May.
Declines in wholesale trade as well as finance and insurance also contributed to the softness in the services sector.
