The Canadian dollar weakened against the other major currencies in the Asian session on Friday as oil prices declined, extending the brutal recent losses amid rising U.S. inventories.
Crude oil for January delivery are currently down $0.18 to $34.77 a barrel. Oil futures settled below $35 a barrel for the first time in six years Thursday.
“At 490.7 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories remain near levels not seen for this time of the year in at least 80 years,” said the Energy Information Administration yesterday.
Moreover, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike on Wednesday also weighed on the price of oil due to the dollar’s strength and fears that higher interest rates will weaken demand.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Labor Department released a report on Thursday showing a pullback in initial jobless claims in the week ended December 12th. The report said initial jobless claims fell to 271,000, a decrease of 11,000 from the previous week’s unrevised level of 282,000. Economists had expected jobless claims to pull back to 275,000.
Thursday, the Canadian dollar fell 1.00 percent against the U.S. dollar and 0.84 percent against the yen. Meanwhile, the loonie rose against the euro and held steady against the Australian dollar.
In the Asian trading, the Canadian dollar fell to a 4-day low of 87.74 against the yen, from yesterday’s closing value of 87.93. The loonie may test support near the 86.00 region.
Against the U.S. and the Australian dollars, the loonie dropped to 1.3954 and 0.9946 from yesterday’s closing quotes of 1.3936 and 0.9932, respectively. If the loonie extends its downtrend, it is likely to find support around 1.40 against the greenback and 1.00 against the aussie.
The loonie edged down to 1.5127 against the euro, from yesterday’s closing value of 1.5085. On the downside, 1.52 is seen as the next support level for the loonie.

Those additional fat cells are not only another dormant power source
waiting being burned through physical activity. A) They can stand erect
using their back against the wall while leaning against two armrests and while supporting their chest,
bring their knees around touch their chin, or, B) they’re able
to lay down on the back and basically do the same thing,
bring their knee around touch their chin alternately.

Like another thing around us, even Teds woodworking has got
its pros and cons. With that in mind, why can you pay full price for plans
