Canadian dollar closes higher amid weak manufacturing data, rising oil prices – Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports

TORONTO – (April 15, 2011) Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports The Canadian dollar closed higher against the greenback Thursday as oil prices shed early losses to move higher, while traders took in data showing a bigger than expected drop in manufacturing shipments.

The loonie rose 0.28 of a cent to close at 104.19 cents US.

Statistics Canada reported earlier that manufacturing sales fell 1.5 per cent in February to $47.1 billion, a steeper decline than the 0.1 per cent expected by economists.

The showing followed a 4.4 per cent gain in January.

The agency said that sales decreases were mostly concentrated in the auto sector and aerospace product and parts industries.

Sales in the motor vehicle assembly industry dropped 10.9 per cent in February.

Meanwhile, the May crude oil contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange gained $1 to US$108.11 a barrel.

Crude has rapidly come off a recent 2 1/2 year high of almost US$113 a barrel after Goldman Sachs warned investors Monday that crude oil prices were due for a “substantial pullback” after surging about 30 per cent since mid-February as the market responded to a civil war in Libya and unrest in other Mideast countries.

Copper prices were lower for a fourth day because of demand concerns as the May contract on the Nymex rose dipped one cent to US$4.28 a pound.

Bullion prices advanced while the June contract in New York climbed $16.80 to US$1,472.40 an ounce.

The currency has lost ground this week as the Bank of Canada announced Tuesday it was keeping interest rates unchanged at one per cent. The central bank also warned Wednesday that the Canadian economy is entering a period of slow growth under the heavy burden of a strong dollar.
