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.
