The Canadian dollar extended its recent downtrend against major currencies in early New York trading on Wednesday despite a rally in crude oil prices as traders flee from riskier currencies amid escalating tensions in Libya.
Libya holds Africa’s largest oil reserves and is the continent’s fourth largest producer and is an OPEC member, the cartel that produces about 40 percent of global supplies.
Although only a small part of Libya’s oil production appeared to be affected by the unrest so far, traders fear that similar revolts will spread to other Middle East oil producers and hurt global economic growth.
Light Sweet Crude Oil futures for April delivery rose to $96.77 a barrel, up $1.35 from yesterday’s close. On Tuesday, the oil surged over 6 percent on Middle East tensions to settle at $95.42.
The loonie reached a 13-day low of 1.3639 against the euro and 83.28 against the yen around 9:30 am ET, down from yesterday’s closing values of 1.3528 and 83.58, respectively. On the downside, the Canadian currency may target support levels at 82.80 against the yen and 1.3660 against the euro.
Eurozone industrial new orders rose 2.1% month-on-month in December, the European Union statistical agency Eurostat said today. Economists had forecast a decline of 1% following a revised 2.2% increase in November.
Compared to December 2009, industrial orders were up 18.5% in the final month of 2010. That beat an expected growth of 16.2%. In November, orders surged 20%.
Against the US dollar, the Canadian dollar fell to a 12-day low of 0.9940 around 9:10 am ET and this may be compared to yesterday’s close of 0.9909. If the loonie weakens further, 0.9990 is seen as the next likely target level. The pair is presently trading at 0.9930.
Looking ahead in the data front across the boarder, the National Association of Realtors is scheduled to release its report on existing home sales for January at 10:00 AM ET. Economists estimate existing home sales of 5.25 million for the month after posting a rate of 5.28 million for December.

Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You ought to take part in a contest for one of the finest blogs on the net.
I most certainly will recommend this site!
Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks
fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
Genuinely no matter if someone doesn’t know after that its
up to other visitors that they will help, so here it
takes place.
Hey! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how
too make you site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone.
I’m trying to find a theme or plgin that might bee able
to resolve this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Thanks!
Howdy! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone!

Inspiring story there. What occurred after?
Good luck!
I think that evverything posted was actually very logical.
But, think on this, suppose yyou added a little information? I ain’t saying your information is
noot good., but suppose you added a title to maybe
get folk’s attention? I mean Canadian Dollar Exfends
Slide Against Majors | Forex Trading Market is kinda plain. You miht look at Yahoo’s home
page and watch how they create news titles to grab people to open the links.
You might add a related video oor a pic or two to grab people excitesd about what you’ve written. Just my
opinion, it would mzke your posts a little livelier.
I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my trouble.
You are amazing! Thanks!
