WINNIPEG, Oct. 11 (MarketsFarm) – The Canadian dollar was weaker on Tuesday, as losses in crude oil and a ‘risk-off’ sentiment in the global financial markets weighed on the currency.
The Canadian dollar settled at US$0.7260 or US$1=C$1.3775 on Tuesday, which compares with Friday’s close of US$0.7293 or US$1=C$1.3712.
Crude oil was pressured by concerns over declining demand in the face of a recession, although supply uncertainty out of Russia and Iran provided support. West Texas Intermediate crude oil was down by 2.75 per cent at US$88.62 per barrel.
The TSX Composite Index was weaker, down 366.45 points or 1.97 per cent to close at 18,216.68 points.
