What the latest data shows: the cost figures for this country are not published yet; the context below is already measured.
This page is in preparation. It shows only measured facts, each with its month.
Shelf prices depend on production costs, but also on how much people buy and on the exchange rate. These are the latest measured figures sorted by the way they point; each row shows its own month. They do not say what prices will do next.
None of the indicators we track points this way for this period.
None of the indicators we track points this way for this period.
Close to their usual level: this period they are not clearly pushing prices up or holding them back.
Shown as context. We have not found that any of these predicts prices on its own. Sources: Statistics Canada, Federal Reserve (via FRED). Each row is the latest measured figure, with its own month. "Usually between" is the range where the middle 80% of the 2015-2019 values lay (10th to 90th percentile), before the pandemic. A row sits under pushing or holding back only when its latest figure is outside that range; a series without such a range sits apart. The rows are context: we have not found that any of them predicts prices on its own.
The 3-month cost change for furniture and major appliances in Canada appears here once the official series it is built from have all been updated. Until then this page lists the measured context.
Furniture: cost change over the last 3 months · We are still working on this section.
Major appliances: cost change over the last 3 months · We are still working on this section.
The cost increase of the last 3 months for lumber, textiles, foam and plastics, metals and steel (Statistics Canada industrial product prices), furniture factory wages (Statistics Canada), and the price of imported household furniture converted to Canadian dollars. Each category weights these by its cost structure. Canadian shelf prices are shown before sales tax (GST/HST/PST); only the change matters here.
These are the official series behind every cost figure on this site. Category weights are our own estimates.
