Key industry and economic trends for october 2013

- 4. Oil Sands • • • • • CALGARY—The oil sands support more than 400,000 jobs in Canada and 1.5 percent of the country’s economy, but the sector is still falling short for domestic manufacturers, according to a report by the Conference Board of Canada. Every year, about $5 billion worth of goods come into the oil sands from overseas, and that number will burgeon to $140 billion over the next 20 years, said Michael Burt, director of industrial trends with the Conference Board, who presented the report at the National Supply Chain Forum in Calgary earlier this week. “It’s primarily manufactured goods that we’re importing. Things like heating and ventilation equipment that’s produced locally and could be sourced from companies here in Canada,” Burt said. Steel products are coming in from offshore, along with transportation equipment, electronics and other field components. “It’s true that the vehicles used in the oil sands are sometimes site specific or product specific and we may not make the parts right now in Ontario to supply those vehicles, but how easy would it be to retool to adapt our production processes?”

- Aug-Sep/13 were running $18B on average the highest level in 2013 Manufacturing sales rose 0.6% to $49.9 billion in September, the fourth increase in five months. The gain in September was largely a result of higher sales in the motor vehicle assembly and food industries. Total sales in September were at their highest level since June 2012. Sales rose in 11 of 21 industries, representing about 55% of Canadian manufacturing. Both the durable and the non-durable goods industries posted 0.6% sales gains. Constant dollar sales increased 1.0% in September, indicating a rise in volumes. Source: Stats Canada

- Source: BMO Canada’s current account deficit narrowed to $15.5 bln in Q3 ($61.9 bln annualized), but the level was larger than expected after negative revisions to the prior quarter. The deficit for Q2 now weighs in at $15.9 bln ($63.7 bln a.r.) versus the prior reading of $14.6 bln ($58.3 bln a.r.). So, at roughly 3.3% of GDP, the current account deficit is indeed indicative of an overvalued Canadian dollar as some others have pointed out this morning. The goods trade balance narrowed slightly in the quarter, to $2.2 bln, smaller than suggested by the monthly trade data and suggesting trade might have been somewhat less of a drag on growth—the full GDP report is out tomorrow. The non-merchandise deficit also narrowed slightly, including a lower services shortfall as the travel deficit has stabilized (narrowed slightly in Q3) amid a softer loonie and levelling off in cross-border trips. On the capital account side, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows slipped for a second straight quarter to $10.4 bln, while FDI abroad rose to $20.7 bln after declines in the prior two quarters. Foreign portfolio inflows rebounded sharply to $16.5 bln after dropping over the past year, led by increases in both debt and equity investment. Canadian portfolio investment abroad picked up by a smaller amount, to $5.3 bln, leaving net portfolio inflows at the highest level in a year—but still well below the pace seen during the 2009-11 period

- Source: BMO In contrast to the market-moving (and partly distorted) U.S. jobs data, Canada’s employment reading for October was as clean as whistle and will make no waves. Employment rose a respectable 13,200 in October, following the moderate 11,900 rise the prior month, with the jobs data finally returning to some semblance of order after the wild swings earlier this year. Details were mixed. Full-time jobs were solid at +16,000, and all of the gains were in the 25+ age group. There were some mild blots on the report, however, as all of the net gains were in the public sector (private sector payrolls fell 22k), and the goods-producing sector saw broadbased declines. Still, the unemployment rate managed to hold steady after dipping to a 5-year low of 6.9% in September. The participation rate was unchanged at 66.4%. By sector: First the good news: There were big gains in hotels & restaurants (+30k), health care (+20k) and government (+19k). Now the bad news: most of the cyclical sectors declined, with retail & wholesale trade down 20k, followed by declines in construction (-9k) and the persistent and troubling weak spot of manufacturing (-6k and down a hefty 4.6% y/y). The biggest drag was in the rarely quoted “business, building and other support services”, which fell 32,600. Despite the split last month, the service sector has not been wildly stronger than the goods-producing sectors over the past year (+1.3% y/y versus +0.8% y/y). By region: The big story last month was a 34,100 pop in Quebec, which helped shave its jobless rate a tick to 7.5%. The flip side was a 14,700 drop in Ontario employment, which saw its jobless rate nudge up a tick to 7.4%. Otherwise, it was a 50-50 split, with half the provinces reporting small job declines last month. The most notable move in unemployment rates was a 7 tick plunge in Saskatchewan, taking its rate to a national low of 3.6%, while Newfoundland & Labrador popped 6 ticks to regain the dubious title of highest rate in the nation at 11.0%. Bottom Line: Canadian employment was about as close to expectations as reasonably possible in October, rendering it a sideshow to the surprisingly solid U.S. payroll result.
