Housing starts rebound to top forecast in May

Canada's housing construction sector had a better-than-expected May as the seasonally adjusted, annualized rate of starts rose to 128,400 for the month.

That was ahead of the 126,000 annualized rate that economists had forecast.

In April, the seasonally adjusted annualized rate was 117,600.

"This morning’s housing starts data for May from CMHC provided us with the first sign that a bottom might be forming in Canadian homebuilding activity," said TD Bank economist Pascal Gauthier.
