This is the best summary I could come up with:
Canada's annual inflation rate edged up to 2.9 per cent in May — an increase from 2.7 per cent in April — mostly due to higher prices for services, Statistics Canada said on Tuesday.
Prices for cellular services, rent, travel tours and air transportation grew at a faster pace, according to the data agency.
"No bones about it, this is not what the Bank of Canada wanted to see at this point, and clearly shaves the odds of a followup July rate cut," wrote BMO economist Douglas Porter in a note.
The central bank's preferred measure of core inflation, which strips out volatile sectors like food and energy, was also up in May — more than economists expected.
"If there was any good news here, it was that single largest inflation driver — mortgage interest costs — relaxed a bit," wrote Porter.
Though typical of the season, it also marked the largest increase since January 2023, StatsCan said.
