FIVE BUSINESS EVENTS TO WATCH THIS WEEK

Home away from home:

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. and Statistics Canada release estimates Tuesday about how much residential property in Vancouver and Toronto is owned by non-residents.

Growing pains?

BlackBerry Ltd. provides an update Wednesday. Analysts are expecting a loss in the company's fiscal third quarter and lower revenue than the US$249 million reported in the second quarter of its 2017-18 financial year.

The blunt truth:

The Ontario Securities Commission will hear from CanniMed Therapeutics, which is resisting a hostile takeover bid by Aurora Cannabis. The OSC has set hearings dates for Wednesday and Thursday.

The price you pay:

Statistics Canada will release its November consumer price index on Thursday and CIBC is betting that gasoline prices will help push the inflation rate up to the Bank of Canada's target of two per cent —high enough to support another rate hike.

Other economic signs:

The coming week will be busy for Canadian economists, with Statistics Canada set to release several important reports. The report on Canadian wholesale trade for October comes Wednesday, followed by the October retail trade report and the October report for gross domestic product on Friday.
