| August 27, 2008 | | Higher oil, declining dollar boost loonie in currency trading | The Canadian dollar is on the rise in forex trading on the currency market today. One of the main helps is a rise in oil prices -- Canada's main export -- as Gustav threatens offshore refineries.
Weakness from the U.S. dollar is also boosting the loonie in currency trading. Bloomberg reports on the Canadian dollar in forex trading:
``This is more just a big dollar sell-off,'' said Jonathan
Gencher, director of currency sales in Toronto at BMO Capital
Markets. ``Canada is just being tagged along.''
Many forex analysts expect the loonie to fall in currency trading by the end of next year.
