OTTAWA, Aug 7 (Reuters) - The pace of purchasing activity
growth cooled in Canada in July, according to Ivey Purchasing
Managers Index data released on Friday.
The seasonally adjusted index fell to 52.9, slightly better
than analysts' expectations of 52.0, from 55.9 last month. A
reading above 50 indicates an increase in purchases.
The unadjusted index plunged to 50.0 from 59.5.
