Canadian wholesale trade most likely rose 1.3% in March from February, largely driven by higher sales in the machinery, equipment and supplies subsector, Statistics Canada said in a flash estimate on Friday.

The estimate was calculated based on a weighted response rate of 66.0%. The average weighted response rate for the survey over the previous 12 months has been 82.2%.
