The Canadian dollar advanced against its major rivals in early New York deals on Wednesday, after the Bank of Canada kept benchmark interest rate unchanged, as inflation remains roughly in line with the Bank’s expectations.
The BoC maintained its target for the overnight rate at 0.5 percent. The decision was in line with forecasts.

The Bank said it predicts the fire-related destruction and the associated halt to oil production would cut about 1.25 percentage points off real GDP growth in the second quarter.

The loonie firmed to 6-day highs of 84.55 versus the yen and 1.3052 versus the greenback, off its early lows of 83.73 and 1.3133, respectively. The next possible resistance levels for the loonie are seen around 86.00 against the yen and 1.28 against the greenback.
