Canadian August trade balance billion -1.10 billion vs -0.50 billion expected

• Prior was +0.68 billion (revised to -$0.29 billion)
• Exports $64.31 billion vs $65.66 billion prior (revised to $64.94 billion)
• Imports $65.41 billion vs $64.97 billion prior (revised to $65.22 billion)

This data was delayed but has now crossed and points to some modest further downside risks to Q3 Canadian growth.
