National small business confidence continues downward drift

Latest readings show that business owners’ optimism continues to drift downward. CFIB’s Business Barometer Index fell modestly to 65.7 in July, compared to 66.4 in June—its third decline in the past four months. Falling in 8 of 13 industry groupings and 7 of 10 provinces, these estimates suggest the economy is settling into a phase of slower growth.
