The Ivey PMI gauges monthly changes in economic activity as reported by a panel of Canadian purchasing managers. According to Ivey Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data released Friday, Canada’s economic activity shrank in July for the first time this year as employment growth slowed and prices dropped.

For the first time since December 2021, the seasonally adjusted index dropped below the 50-point mark, which denotes a decline in activity, to 49.6 from 62.2 in June. This weakened the Canadian dollar against the US dollar. USD/CAD has started a bullish trend in the 4-hour chart boosted by the US dollar, which rallied after the positive jobs report.

Last month, there were 528,000 more jobs added in the United States. The payrolls increased for the 19th month in July, exceeding economists’ predictions of just 250,000 new positions.

“If the US economy is in a recession, no one seems to have told employers,” said Sarah House, a senior economist at Wells Fargo in Charlotte, North Carolina. “We suspect this data will give the Fed the confidence it needs to push ahead aggressively with its fight against inflation.”

All of the jobs lost as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have now been recovered. However, there are still roughly 597,000 unfilled positions in the government sector. There are currently 32,000 more jobs overall than there were in February 2020.
