Trade figures
Statistics Canada will release its international merchandise trade numbers for April on Tuesday. Canada posted a merchandise trade surplus of $1.8 billion in March, its first surplus since September as increased shipments of gold and higher oil prices drove exports to their highest level in more than a year.
Rate decision
The Bank of Canada is expected to make an interest rate announcement on Wednesday morning. The central bank is widely forecasted by economists to keep its policy interest rate on hold at 2.25 per cent.
Dollarama results
Dollarama Inc. will report its first-quarter results on Thursday morning and hold its annual shareholder meeting. The retailer said earlier this year it would resist hiking its prices as much as possible as the war in the Middle East drove up energy prices, threatening to push the cost of everything higher.
Transat results
Transat AT Inc. is expected to report its second-quarter results on Thursday morning. The company said last month that high jet fuel prices added $70 million in additional costs for March and April compared with the same months last year.
