TSX retreats from record high as US bank earnings weigh on financials
TSX ends down 0.5% at 27,054.14 Financials lose 0.6%, energy was down 0.9% Canada's annual inflation rate rises to 1.9% Eight of 10 major sectors end lower July 15 - Canada's main stock index pulled back on Tuesday from a record high, with heavily weighted financials among the sectors that declined as investors assessed U.S. bank earnings and after domestic inflation data reduced prospects of Bank of Canada interest rate cuts. The S&P/TSX composite index ended down 144.71 points, or 0.5%, at 27,054.14, after posting a record closing high on Monday. Wall Street opened the second-quarter earnings season on a somber note, with banking stocks whipsawing in volatile trade. "We're seeing profit-taking against the news because we've seen markets run up so hard for three months," said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at SIA Wealth Management. "With the U.S. banks down, it's dragging on the Canadian banks, especially because some of the Canadian banks have large U.S. operations." The financials sector, which accounts for 33% of the TSX's weighting, fell 0.6%. Eight of the TSX's 10 major sectors ended lower. "Canadian inflation doesn't help here either because it suggests the Bank of Canada may not be able to cut much further," Cieszynski said. Canada's annual inflation rate rose to 1.9% in June from 1.7% in May and CPI-median, one of the core measures of inflation closely tracked by the BoC, rose to 3.1% from 3%. Money markets have largely priced out the chances of a rate cut at the BoC's next policy decision on July 30 in response to the inflation data as well as stronger-than-expected jobs data on Friday. The energy sector lost 0.9% as the price of oil settled down 0.7% at $66.52 a barrel. Gold also fell. The materials sector, which includes metal mining shares, was down 0.7%. Technology ended 0.8% lower. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Pain remains: on inflation
The continued fall in inflation to a 77-month low of 2.1% in June 2025 should serve as a significant source of relief for policymakers. The general public, however, would not be too thrilled. There is some good news for them, but also a significant dose of pain. Food inflation, for example, saw a significant easing, although that too is a seasonal effect rather than a structural one. Food and beverage prices contracted 0.2% in June 2025 on a high base of 8.4% in June last year. Key items such as vegetables, pulses, spices and meat saw prices falling in June compared to their levels last year. But food is not all that people spend their money on. The data reveal that there were several items and services of common consumption that saw inflation quickening in June. The education and stationery segment saw inflation quicken to 4.4% in June, the highest in 15 months. This was driven by a jump in the prices of school, college, and private tuition. Inflation in the health-care category, too, was at a 15-month high in June. Compounding this, the personal care segment saw inflation jumping to a blistering 14.8% in June, the eighth month of double-digit inflation in the last nine months. Products such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo and sanitary napkins — items of daily or regular use and by no stretch luxuries — have become more expensive. So, overall, food is cheaper, but nearly everything else is more expensive. This leads to an important policy question, one that has been asked several times before: is the headline inflation data adequately capturing the price rise the average Indian faces? The food basket itself carries a 46% weight in the overall Consumer Price Index (CPI), meaning that any change in this category has an inordinate impact on the headline number. The recent Household Consumption Expenditure Surveys show that food comprises a much smaller share of about 30% in the expenditure of households. Bringing the CPI weight of food down to align with this will allow the overall CPI to be more representative. To be fair, that process is on, with the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation in the process of updating the CPI. The CPI base year — so far set as 2011-12 — is being updated to a more recent time period, and the weights of the different categories are also being revised. This update cannot happen fast enough, as even monetary policy is currently dependent on this outdated and unrepresentative measure. In the meantime, it is important not to get swayed by the fall in the headline number itself. The felt experience of the average Indian is described in the details, and it is still a painful one.

Food logistics key to keeping retail inflation in check
The fall in the CPI's food basket was mainly driven by a year-on-year drop of 19 percent in vegetable prices, 11.8 percent fall in pulses and 3 percent easing of the costs of meat and spices. The consistently high prices of vegetables and pulses over the last few years had been pushing up food inflation to punishing levels. Economists say their easing reflects a good monsoon, expanded kharif sowing and improved water supply. However, core inflation—which excludes more volatile elements like food and fuel—edged up to 4.4 percent in June, the highest since September 2023. The trends have been nudging the central bank to throttle back its anti-inflationary measures, including reducing the key repo or short-term lending rate by one percentage point to 5.5 percent over the last 6 months. It has made borrowing easier, increased money supply and cranked up some sectors of the economy. The June data may induce a further cutback in interest rates in August. However, not all parts of the picture look rosy. The lower readings come on relatively high bases notched up a year ago. Secondly, the street prices of many items vary geographically and are higher than what these all-India figures reflect. What is important is that a better handling of essential supplies and management of food stocks have contributed to stemming runaway inflation. Given affordable food supply is essential, the government needs to keep a keen eye on this area in the months ahead and intervene as necessary.
