Canada’s inflation rate dips slightly in July

Lower gas prices helped Canada’s inflation rate slow in July.

Statistics Canada says the rate came in at 7.6 percent last month, down from a nearly 40-year high of 8.1 percent in June.

The next key interest rate announcement from the Bank of Canada is expected to be made in early September.
