Global Macro: Softer Inflation and Resilient Growth Characterize Latest Week
Canadian and UK inflation continued to moderate last week, while labor-market data remained constructive, shifting the macro transmission chain toward a backdrop of softer price pressures and resilient activity.
The global macro transmission chain shifted toward a combination of softer inflation and resilient growth during the week ending July 24, 2026. Key highlights included further moderation in Canadian and UK consumer price inflation, reinforcing trends of easing price pressures.
At the same time, labor-market data across major economies remained constructive, supporting the narrative of economic resilience. This mix of cooling inflation and steady employment conditions may influence central bank policy expectations in the near term.
The update suggests a backdrop where demand holds up while inflation retreats, potentially easing some of the trade-off concerns that have dominated earlier quarters.
