Canadian wholesale trade most likely rose 0.1% in April from March, largely driven by higher sales in the building material and supplies subsector, Statistics Canada said in a flash estimate on Monday. The estimate was calculated based on a weighted response rate of 62.5%. The average weighted response rate for the survey over the previous 12 months has been 82.3%.
