Confidence in the slow lane: Canadian consumer sentiment is holding near neutral as economic expectations trail household confidence. (Bloomberg/Nanos)

The Bloomberg-Nanos Canadian Confidence Index stands at 50.98, little changed from 50.45 four weeks earlier and below its long-term average of 54.65. Household sentiment is firmer, with the Pocketbook Index at 54.19, while expectations for the economy and property prices remain weaker at 47.77. Confidence has eased from its February peak of 54.19, leaving Canadians broadly divided over their economic prospects as autumn draws to a close.
