- Housing—The U.S. housing market has already experienced a significant slowdown, and although the Canadian housing market has been more resilient, it too will see a decline in construction activity in the near term.
- Inventories—Although prices have stabilized, the industry’s inventory-to-shipments ratio remains high. As long as inventories stay high, there is a risk of further price corrections.
