WINNIPEG, June 30 (MarketsFarm) – The Canadian dollar held steady on Tuesday morning, despite pressure from crude oil values.
At 8:55 CDT Tuesday morning the Canadian dollar was at US$0.7313 or US$1=C$1.3674, which compares with Monday’s North American close of US$0.7309 or US$1=C$1.3682.
Crude oil prices were lower due to pessimism regarding a COVID-19 economic recovery, as cases continue to surge in some areas around the world.
