It says Canada's real gross domestic product fell slightly in May after showing a modest rise in April.Canada's real GDP dropped 0.1 per cent in May after rising 0.4 per cent in the previous month, StatsCan reported. "There was a significant decrease in the energy sector in May. Declines were also recorded in finance, forestry, construction and wholesale trade," Statistics Canada said. Some of the analysts were a bit taken aback this morning about the drop. I think this probably mean an interest rate cut. It is probably too high relative to what we need for some sort of stimulus.
