TORONTO – Five things to watch in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Bank of Canada
The Bank of Canada is expected to release its Business Outlook Survey and Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations on Monday. The central bank cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point last month to 2.5 percent, saying the balance of risks had shifted toward the downside. It said the economy had weakened and while there were still some mixed signals, inflation pressures appeared more subdued.
Inflation
Statistics Canada will release inflation data for September on Tuesday. The consumer price index rose 1.9% year-on-year in August, compared with a 1.7% year-on-year rise in July.
Test results
It is expected that Teck Resources Ltd. will release third-quarter results on Wednesday before financial markets open. Last month, Teck announced a merger agreement with British miner Anglo American PLC, but the deal is still subject to review under the Investment Canada Act.
Voting MEG Energy
Shareholders of MEG Energy Corp. will vote in favor of a takeover bid for Cenovus Energy Inc. on Wednesday. A vote on the deal was previously delayed after Cenovus raised its price for the company and increased the proportion of shares available under its offer.
Rogers' results
Rogers Communications Inc. is set to release third-quarter results on Thursday before markets open. Last month, the company announced it was expanding its satellite-to-mobile text messaging service across some bodies of water and waterways off the Canadian coast.
