Household spending boosts economy
OTTAWA–Six of 10 components rose in March as the composite leading index remained unchanged after a decline in February.
Statistics Canada reports both housing and new orders for durable goods rebounded from large declines, while overall household spending led growth and the stock market replaced manufacturing as the economy`s weakest sector.
All components related to household spending advanced.
