Investing.com -- The Canadian economy is regaining momentum faster than anticipated, driven by persistent strength in resource extraction and broad-based industrial expansion. Unseasonably elevated extraction activity was further bolstered by deferred spring maintenance schedules, alongside a 7.3% surge in support services for the resource industry. Meanwhile, transportation and warehousing lifted 0.3%, propelled by a 2.7% expansion in pipeline throughput following strong natural gas export demand. An advance estimate points to a continued 0.2% monthly GDP expansion in June, putting total second-quarter industrial output growth on track for 0.8% unadjusted.
