Money markets see a 44% chance of another BoC rate hike by year-end, up from 36% before the data were published.

Consider this: In July, just one car model — the Mitsubishi Mirage — had an average new-vehicle transaction price below $20,000, according to Kelley Blue Book data. The $20,000-or-below barometer is a sort of unofficial price threshold for an affordable new car, said Brian Moody, executive editor for Kelley Blue Book. Five years ago, there were 12 vehicles selling for an average price of more than $100,000. The average new-vehicle purchase price today is about $48,000, up from about $30,000 in 2012, according to Kelley Blue Book.

Money markets see a 28% chance of a rate hike in September, down slightly from 32% before the data. Money markets see a 60% chance of another rate hike by the end of the year, down from 80% before the data. "I think their (the Bank's) conclusion from this would be that it's probably not a bad idea to pause on the rate hike front," he said by phone. While headline figures indicated some slowness, the average hourly wage for permanent employees - a figure the Bank of Canada watches closely - rose 5.0% from July 2022. "The softer labor market data support our view that the Bank is unlikely to follow through with current market pricing by raising rates further," he said.

▼ + stars: | 2023-08-03 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Aero-engineer Rolls-Royce on Thursday reported a strong recovery in profit as its new CEO's turnaround plan gathers pace, helped by better pricing for maintaining the engines that power long-haulaircraft like the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787. The British company reported first-half underlying operating profit of 673 million pounds ($854 million), more than five times the level of a year ago. Chief Executive Tufan Erginbilgic, who joined the company in January, said the jump in profit and cash generation reflected "greater productivity, efficiency, and improved commercial outcomes. Operating profit in its defence unit, which provides the engines that power Britain's nuclear submarines, grew by a third, driven by strong revenue growth and higher margin. Power systems - its third major business unit - reported broadly flat profit at a lower margin.
