Canadian Dollar Weakens as US Dollar Strength Continues
The Canadian dollar weakened on Monday, influenced by strong US dollar performance globally.
The CAD settled at $0.7190 or $1=C$1.3909, marking a decrease from Friday's close of $0.7212 or $1=C$1.3866.
Canada's Consumer Price Index rose 3.0% in August year-over-year, matching the previous month's reading, as reported by Statistics Canada. A slowdown in rising gasoline prices was offset by higher prices for travel tours and rent.
