Canadian Dollar Weakens as Crude Oil Prices Plummet
The Canadian dollar lost some ground on Monday due to significant losses in crude oil prices.
Crude oil, tracked by West Texas Intermediate, fell 8.3% to $81.93 per barrel over the weekend, weighing heavily on the energy-linked currency.
The US Federal Reserve's interest rate announcement is scheduled for Wednesday, with analysts expecting no changes to rates but closely watching accompanying statements for hints at future moves.
