TORONTO – Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Inflation
Statistics Canada will release its latest inflation reading when it publishes its consumer price index for October on Monday. The annual rate of inflation was 2.4 per cent in September, up from 1.9 per cent in August. Excluding gasoline, the consumer price index rose 2.6 per cent on a year-over-year basis in September, after posting a gain of 2.4 per cent for August.
Housing data
A pair of reports on the housing market are coming this week. The Canadian Real Estate Association will report home sales figures for October on Monday. The data point will be followed Tuesday by the latest reading on housing starts from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.
Canada Post public meeting
Canada Post will offer an update on its latest financial situation and the steps it’s taking to transform its business when it holds its annual public meeting on Tuesday via a live webcast. Canada Post, which is dealing with rotating strikes by its workers, recently submitted a plan to the federal government to transform its struggling business model into a financially sustainable postal service.
HBC
Heffel Fine Art Auction House is scheduled to sell 27 pieces of art from the Hudson’s Bay collection at a live auction Wednesday. The pieces include paintings from former British prime minister Winston Churchill and Toronto co-founder William von Moll Berczy.
Metro earnings
Grocery and drugstore retailer Metro Inc. will report its fourth-quarter results and hold a conference call with financial analysts and investors on Wednesday morning. The earnings report comes as shoppers navigate food prices that have outpaced the overall rate of inflation.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 16, 2025.
