Black Friday and associated gross sales in November contributed to decrease costs in particular sectors. On a month-to-month foundation, the family operations, furnishings, and tools index fell 0.9 p.c, with mobile providers dropping 6.1 p.c and furnishings costs declining 2.1 p.c.
Equally, the clothes and footwear index decreased 0.8 p.c month-to-month, led by decrease costs for ladies’s clothes (-0.8 p.c) and kids’s clothes (-4.9 p.c). The decline in kids’s clothes marked the most important recorded for November.
Costs for journey providers declined 6.7 p.c 12 months over 12 months in November, lower than the 7.1 p.c drop in October.
Larger traveller lodging costs (+8.7 p.c) contributed to the slower decline, significantly in Ontario, the place resort costs surged 23.7 p.c 12 months over 12 months and elevated 11.0 p.c month-to-month because of high-profile concert events.
In the meantime, costs for journey excursions fell additional, down 12.0 p.c 12 months over 12 months in November in comparison with 6.5 p.c in October. This decline mirrored a base-year impact pushed by increased demand and costs for US locations in November 2023.
