Google Community Mobility
• Daily Google data tracking movement trends points to slowing gains in economic activity which in part reflects seasonal patterns (summer
holidays)—see temporary decline in workplace activity in Germany—but may also be due to the re-imposition of some lockdown measures in
certain regions. While the end of strict quarantine periods led to an initial, strong, rebound in activity the coming quarters will see growth returning
to a smoother trajectory, with economic output unlikely to reach its pre-coronavirus level before late-2021 given the economic impact and job
losses resulting from the shutdowns and their spillovers. Retail, transit, and workplaces mobility in the US has been flat since mid– to late-June.

Google Search Trends
• Google Trends data shows a marked decline in search interest for unemployment benefits in Canada—including searches for the federal
government’s other income support programmes, CERB and CESB. In the US, searches for unemployment benefits have fallen to their lowest
point since March after jumping in early August; which may have reflected the end of supplementary unemployment benefits in late-July and a
new round of layoffs as some businesses closed with the rebound in cases in certain states. ‘Realtor’ search interest remains elevated amid ultra-
low borrowing rates in Canada and the US.

Scotiabank Canadian Merchant Data
• Scotiabank debit and credit card payments data compiled by our Economics, Customer Insights, and
Data & Analytics teams show that retail transactions across core merchant categories have rebounded
solidly in Canada from their April depths when compared to the same period last year. Total credit and
debit transactions now stand around 5-10% above their year-ago levels after falling by close to 30% y/
y in April; clothing, automotive, and health expenses are now rising year-on-year while restaurant
expenses are also recently increasing. While the lockdown measures, travel bans, and fear of
contagion have sharply hit the travel industry—with transaction volumes down about 50% y/y as of a
week ago—other sectors have seen an increase in sales as people spend more time at home (e.g.
computer software sales). For more details see here. For questions contact Nikita Perevalov

Affinity Solutions US Card Spending Data
• Affinity Solutions debit and credit card payments data show that retail sales in the US remain
around 5-10% off their baseline in early-2020 with grocery purchases remaining elevated as
individuals spend more time at home while spending on recreation and transportation remains
quite depressed at ~ 50% lower than baseline, while accommodation and food spending is about
25% lower. Spending on general merch. & apparel has rebounded to only ~5-10% below baseline.
The data show tentative signs that the stalling from June through most of August has ended.
Burning Glass US Jobs Postings
• Weekly Burning Glass data show that US job
postings were down by 21% y/y, compared
to their pandemic trough of –39% in late-
April. Openings in the leisure and hospitality
sector appear to have been severely
impacted by the re-imposition of lockdown
measures in certain states with steep
increases in COVID-19 cases.

Oxford Lockdown Stringency Index
100 = strictest response Lockdown Stringency Index
• Oxford University's lockdown stringency index—a useful
guideline to track containment measures around the
globe—shows the impact of the new containment measures
imposed in New Zealand amid a surge in cases in the
Auckland area after the country reached 102 days without
community transmission. Germany’s restrictions remain
relatively loose compared to its peers—despite a recent
uptick in contagions—which will likely result in an
outperformance of the country's economy within the euro-
bloc.
Energy Demand
• Hourly energy demand data shows that most economies are back to seasonal demand trends
with above-average temperatures possibly leading to excess energy usage amid increased air
conditioning usage.
• In the case of Mexico however, energy demand remains around 5% below its 2018-19 avg.
which may reflect a continued idling of economic activity, unlike ‘normal’ demand levels in
Brazil, which is expected to lead the major Latin American economies in economic
performance this year.

Rail Shipments
• Weekly rail shipments data shows that
demand for motor vehicles and equipment in
the US is again above year-ago levels
although this is likely in trade with Mexico
rather than with Canada, where the latter’s
data still shows a contraction in shipments of
these goods.
US Steel Production
• Weekly US steel production data suggests
that activity in the manufacturing and
construction sectors has not yet significantly
improved for steel mills to notably ramp up
production, which stands at about 80% of
year-ago output compared to 60% in early
May.
Shanghai Steel Inventories
• Chinese industrial output appears to have
recovered quickly, but then stalled, as steel
inventory levels in the country are depleted
from record-highs as reflected by weekly
Shanghai storage data for both traders and
steel mills. Steel mill inventories are closer to
‘normal’ levels but show no signs of declining
of late.

Germany Truck Mileage Index
• Daily truck mileage data for Germany—a
close indicator of industrial production—
shows a sharp rebound in economic activity
in Europe’s largest economy. As of Sep 7,
miles traveled by trucks in Germany were
around their year-ago level. This series and
other data again point to the German
economy recovering at a fast pace as
lockdown measures are lifted.
Retail Traffic
• ShopperTrak and Prodco retail foot traffic
data show that retail activity has picked up
quickly in France and Germany to leapfrog
the decline in Hong Kong—which reverted
shutdowns recently owing to rising
contagions. Retail traffic in the US seems to
be picking up speed in recent days.

TSA Checkpoint Throughput
• Daily US TSA shows that traffic through US
airports remains heavily subdued at about a
third when compared to 2019. The recent
rise in cases in the country may explain the
plateauing of US travel since early-June. As
domestic and international restrictions are
lifted we should see a more important pick-
up in travel activity.
Flight Radar Commercial Flights
• Daily flights data from Flight Radar points to
an unsurprising massive decline in air travel
(about 40% lower compared to early-2020)
owing to travel bans and other strict
restrictions on domestic and international
travel. As some countries eradicate (or
sharply limit the spread of the virus) some
travel will resume between ‘COVID-free’
nations.

OpenTable Restaurant Visits
• Daily OpenTable restaurant foot traffic data
points to a solid rebound in restaurant visits
in Germany and continued gains in Canada,
where the recent increase may reflect
caution around increasing contagions. In the
UK the end of the government’s “eat out to
help out” 50% discount scheme on Aug 31
has led to a decline in visits.

Apple Mobility Trends
• Daily Apple data tracking Apple Maps routing requests shows that driving and walking mobility in Canada, the US, and Germany now exceeds
their respective baseline levels of mid-January. However, only in Germany has there been a significant increase in transit usage that points to a
faster return to economic normality than in North America as lockdown measures are lifted; see Oxford U’s lockdown stringency index that shows
Germany’s restrictions are now significantly more relaxed than in most of its peers. The recent decline in German mobility may reflect a concern
over increasing cases.
