WINNIPEG, July 24 (CNS) – The Canadian dollar was unchanged
against its U.S. counterpart on Tuesday, as gains in crude oil
prices were offset by declines in gold bullion.
The loonie finished at US$0.7601 or C$1.3156, compared to
Monday’s North American close of US$0.7601 or C$1.3157.
The loonie benefited from recent weakness in the value of
the U.S. dollar, as interest in the Canadian currency grew.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 30.71 points, or 0.19%, to
16,390.13.
Losses in metals pointed the way lower for the market.
Torex Gold Resources fell more than nine per cent when the day
