Sept 24 (Reuters) – Canadian factory sales most likely fell 1.5% in August from July, largely driven by lower sales in the transportation equipment as well as the food product subsectors, Statistics Canada said in a flash estimate on Wednesday.
The estimate was calculated based on a weighted response rate of 68.2%. The average weighted response rate for the survey over the previous 12 months has been 93.1%.
