The Canadian dollar has been extending its yesterday’s gains against the currencies of Europe, Australia and Japan in Asian deals on Friday as crude oil price rose on Egypt worries.

Egyptian President Mubarak surprised the markets yesterday by stating that he will stay in office until the September elections but will transfer some power to the country’s new vice president.

The Canadian dollar strengthened against the Aussie in Asian deals on Friday. At present, the loonie is trading at an 11-day high of 0.9939 against the aussie and if the loonie climbs further, it may likely target the 0.985 level. The aussie-loonie pair closed yesterday’s trading at 1.00.

In Asian deals on Friday, the Canadian dollar traded in a tight range against the US dollar. The pair bounced between 0.995 and 0.996. The pair was worth 0.9955 at yesterday’s close.
