The Capacity Utilization released by the Statistics Canada presents the percentage of the Canadian production capacity which is actually used over the short-time period. It is indicative of overall growth and demand in the Canadian economy. A high capacity utilization stimulates inflationary pressures. A high reading is seen as positive (or bullish) for the CAD, while a low reading is seen as negative (or Bearish).
