<i>Oil and forest products lead decline</i><br>
(November 17 – 12:00 ET) –
The Scotiabank Commodity
Price Index, which measures price
trends in Canada’s major exports,
fell 1.5% in October after rising
a month earlier.
Despite the decline, the all-
items index is 12% higher than a
year ago.
Oil and gas and forestry
products led the decline, while
metal and minerals prices rose
due to gains by gold, nickel and
sulphur.
