Unemployment levels are still very good in Canada & the USA (more reason to increase interest rates).
Consumers spending appears to be resilient which also points to rising interest rates.
Concerns that people are drawing on savings built up through the pandemic.
Stats are pointing to increasing credit debt levels(deliquesces still low).
