New Housing Price Index (MoM)

The New Housing Price Index (NHPI) released by the Statistics Canada is a monthly series that measures changes over time in the contractors' selling prices of new residential houses, where detailed specifications pertaining to each house remain the same between two consecutive periods. The growth rate of the housing market affects the CAD volatility. A high reading is seen as positive (or Bullish) for the CAD, whereas a low reading is seen as negative (or Bearish).
