WINNIPEG, March 27 (CNS) – The Canadian dollar finished
flat against its U.S. counterpart on Tuesday as losses in gold
and crude oil kept many investors on the sidelines.
Fears of a global trade war between China and the U.S. have
subsided, which helped offset some of the losses.
The Canadian dollar settled on Tuesday at US$0.7759 cents
or C$1.2889, compared to Monday’s North American close of
US$0.7760 or C$1.2886.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 82.38 points or 0.54 per
cent to 15,216.18.
