•   U.S. inflation data due Wednesday could provide fresh clues on the Federal Reserve’s policy path, with economists expecting consumer prices to reaccelerate in July after declining in June..

• Data on Friday showed Canada's economy added 75,100 jobs in July and the unemployment rate dropped to a two-year low.

• Oil prices, a major Canadian export, rose 1.3% to $83.16 a barrel as markets assessed signs of progress in talks between Oman and Iran over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
