07:20 AM EDT, 06/26/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Statistics Canada will release May wholesale trade data at 8:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, noted Bank of Montreal (BMO).

StatsCan will also publish the April job figures from the establishment survey (SEPH) at 8:30 a.m. ET Thursday.

After back-to-back declines, payrolls could rise on election-related hiring, stated the bank.

However, all eyes will be on the manufacturing sector, which shed jobs in the first three months of the year and likely did so again in April and May, according to the household survey, added BMO.
