Housing Starts Fall More than Expected

Newly-released information Wednesday shows that Canadian housing starts fell more than expected in May from the month before.

The report from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp showed the seasonally-adjusted annualized rate of housing starts fell to 188,570 units last month from a downwardly revised 191,388 in April. May’s figure was short of economists’ expectations for 190,000.
