WINNIPEG, May 11 (CNS) – The Canadian dollar finished flat
against its U.S. counterpart on Friday. Strength in the U.S.
dollar and losses in crude oil limited the loonie’s upward
movement.
Losses in gold bullion also put pressure on the Canadian
dollar while gains in natural gas helped limit the losses.
The Canadian dollar settled Friday at US$0.7825 or
C$1.2779, compared to Thursday’s North American close of
US$0.7828 or C$1.2775.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 23.82 points, or 0.15%, to
