The Canadian dollar edged up to a near three-week high against its U.S. counterpart on Monday as risk sentiment improved and ahead of monthly GDP data this week that could offer clues on the strength of the domestic economy. The loonie was trading 0.1% higher at 1.3656 to the U.S. dollar, or 73.23 U.S. cents, after earlier touching its strongest level since April 10 at 1.3632. "It has been a somewhat quiet start to the week, with firmer equity and bond markets underpinning risk sentiment and weighing on the USD more broadly," said George Davis, chief technical strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
