Loonie surges to 2-month high

The Canadian dollar has jumped in value for the second straight day — reaching its highest level in two months.

The loonie was up 1.27 cents US Tuesday against its U.S. counterpart to $1.0175 US in afternoon trading. It gained 1.67 cents US on Monday.  That’s the Canadian currency’s highest level since Dec. 28, according to Bank of Canada figures.  Currency analysts said rising commodity prices were behind much of the loonie’s recent strength. Canada’s commodity wealth is widely seen as being a major factor in the value of its currency, so when commodity prices rise, the loonie usually follows.

Oil futures were back above $100 US a barrel in New York trading on Tuesday, natural gas prices were up, gold futures gained more than $4 US to $944.30 US an ounce and wheat traded above $12 US a bushel for the first time ever.  The loonie went as high as $1.10 US in early November, capping a spectacular climb from below 62 cents US in early 2002. It then slid back to around the 97-cent US level in January before beginning its most recent rise.

It’s a Beautiful Thing!
