  • Canadian existing home sales were probably up sharply again in May.
  • Canada: May housing starts are expected to have been more muted.
  • While the Fed is expected to hit pause, another rate hike wouldn't come as a surprise.
  • US inflation should continue to ease, driven by falling energy prices.
  • We expect another rise in US industrial production but a slump in retail sales.
  • The European Central Bank will likely raise its rates again.
