The drop of Canada Ivey PMI this October is significant—from 59.8 last month it fell to 52.4. That's a major correction, almost a 7 point difference. Though technically still in expansion territory since it's above 50, the momentum clearly shows a growing slowdown.

Usually when there is a sudden drop in the purchasing managers index, it is an indicator of weakening economic activity. It can affect CAD pairs and overall risk sentiment, especially if it is connected to global commodity markets. It is worth monitoring whether the downtrend continues or if this pullback is just temporary.
