WINNIPEG, Nov. 14 (CNS) – The Canadian dollar was steady at market close Wednesday.
The Canadian dollar settled Wednesday at US$0.7556 or C$1.3235, compared to Tuesday’s North American close of US$0.7552 or C$1.3241.
Oil prices rebounded Wednesday, over hopes for output cuts after a steep drop Tuesday. Brent crude rose 1.66 per cent to settle at US$66.56 per barrel. United States West Texas Intermediate crude gained 1.53 per cent to US$56.54 per barrel.
Gold prices traded in a tight range Wednesday, as the prospect of U.S. interest rates held back the U.S. dollar from gaining much. Spot gold lost 0.1 per cent to US$1,201.31 per ounce. U.S. gold futures added 0.1 per cent to US$1,202 per ounce.
