Fundamental view

United Kingdom

Home values in the UK are poised to drop 0.8% in 2015, following an increase by 7.8% in 2014, according to a statement by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR). It would be the first annualized decrease since 2011. Home values dropped for the first time in almost a year and a half during September, as reported by the Nationwide Building Society last week.

Canada

Activity among purchasing managers in Canada probably increased in September, with the corresponding PMI coming in at a seasonally adjusted value of 53.0. In August the index stood at 50.9. This indicator is based on a survey sponsored by Richard Ivey School of Business and Canadian Purchasing Management Association. It encompasses 175 respondents in both public and the private sector, selected in accordance with their geographic location and activity, so that the entire economy is covered. Activity among purchasing managers is closely watched by market players, as managers usually have an early access to data regarding performance of their companies, which could be used as a leading indicator of overall economic activity. Readings above the key level of 50.0 are indicative of expansion in activity. Higher than expected readings of the PMI would bolster demand for the loonie. The official value is due out at 14:00 GMT.
