Canada July inflation rises to 1.2%
Consumers in Canada paid 1.2 percent more for goods and services in July than a year earlier
Ottawa - Al Maghrib Today
Consumers in Canada paid 1.2 percent more for goods and services in July than a year earlier, as home prices and transportation costs increased, the government statistical agency said Friday.
Inflation was slightly lower than analysts had expected, following a rate of 1.0 percent the previous month.
"After being fairly docile through the early summer, Canadian inflation is now showing signs of perking back up," CIBC Economics analyst Andrew Grantham said, adding that "little market reaction" is anticipated.
July saw a hike in gasoline and passenger vehicle prices, as well as home prices, according to Statistics Canada.
Natural gas prices also rose, while electricity prices -- marking the largest decrease in 14 years -- were down 9.1 percent. The drop was largely the result of legislated price decreases in Ontario province.
Year-over-year prices for non-prescribed medicines and footwear also increased in the month.
Meanwhile, prices fell for furniture, household appliances, telephone services, and men's and women's clothing.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led hisGMT 09:22 2018 Monday ,22 January
