It was announced today that the Canadian economic activity expanded 0.3% on a monthly basis during September. At the same time, the GDP expanded at an annual pace of 2.7%, surpassing estimates at 2.5% and the previous 1.6% expansion.  The Canadian dollar briefly gained momentum after the announcement, but has since depreciated 0.42% against the US due to month-end demand.
