Canadian manufacturing sales drop again in November<\/a><\/h3>\n

OTTAWA<\/span>\u00a0(Reuters) – Canadian manufacturing sales decreased by 1.4 percent in November, the third decline in four months, driven by a sharp drop in motor vehicle sales, Statistics Canada reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The decline was greater than the 0.7 percent decrease that analysts surveyed by Reuters had anticipated. It represented the second monthly decline in a row, following a 1.1 percent decrease in sales in October. The agency also revised its October numbers down from a previously reported 0.6 percent decline.<\/p>\n

Overall, sales declined in 16 of 21 industries in November, representing over 80 percent of the country’s total manufacturing. But the agency said total year-to-date sales were still 5.2 percent higher than in the first 11 months of 2013.<\/p>\n

The federal statistical agency said the latest monthly drop was due to lower sales of motor vehicles, which dropped 5.9 percent. Chemical manufacturers saw a 3.6 percent decrease, while primary metals and food also fell.<\/p>\n

The monthly drop for November was the biggest since a 3.5 percent decrease in August 2014. It was also the first time since March and April 2013 that Canadian manufacturing sales declined for two months in a row.<\/p>\n
