  • The Canadian dollar settled at US$0.7325 or US$1=C$1.3652, which compares with Monday’s close of US$0.7312 or US$1=C$1.3676.
  • Shifting geopolitical tensions were supporting energy markets on Tuesday, with Monday’s announced trade deal between the U.S. and India — and the resulting suspension of Russian oil exports to India — disrupting the global flow of crude oil.

  • West Texas Intermediate crude oil was up 1.81 per cent at US$63.95 per barrel.
