ReutersCanadian dollar consolidates recent gains ahead of BoC decision
TORONTO (Reuters) -The Canadian dollar edged lower against the greenback on Monday, but held on to much of its recent gains as oil prices rose and investors assessed prospects of the Bank of Canada resuming its interest rate hiking campaign this week. "It feels like we are more or less consolidating here, at least until the Bank of Canada (decision)," said Bipan Rai, global head of FX strategy at CIBC Capital Markets. Reduced economic uncertainty after the passing of a bill to lift the U.S. debt ceiling and Saudi Arabia's pledge to cut oil production have provided support for the Canadian dollar, Rai said.

ReutersRising risk appetite lifts Canadian dollar to two-week high
The Canadian dollar strengthened to a two-week high against its U.S. counterpart on Thursday along with gains for other commodity-linked currencies as investors cheered progress toward passing a U.S. debt ceiling bill. "That suggest it's a risk-on recovery, likely fueled by optimism on the debt deal passing the House of Representatives so quickly and now ready for the Senate approval," said Amo Sahota, director at Klarity FX in San Francisco.

ReutersCanadian dollar hits one-month low as U.S. yields climb

The loonie was trading 0.3% lower at C$1.3635 to the greenback, or 73.34 U.S. cents, after touching its weakest intraday level since April 28 at 1.3644.

ReutersCanadian dollar recovers from eight-day low as oil rallies
The Canadian dollar was little changed against its U.S. counterpart on Tuesday, clawing back its earlier losses, as oil prices rose and the greenback posted broad-based gains. "The Canadian dollar has been on the defensive since Monday morning due to widespread demand for U.S. dollars," Rahim Madhavji, president at Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange, said in a note. Wall Street indexes fell as deadlocked U.S. debt ceiling talks kept investors jittery on prospects of an unprecedented government default but the price of oil, one of Canada's major exports, settled 1.2% higher at $72.91 a barrel.

The loonie edged 0.1% lower to 1.3510 to the greenback, or 74.02 U.S. cents, after trading in a range of 1.3470 to 1.3523.

ReutersCAD falls as Macklem resists validating rate hike bets
The Canadian dollar weakened against its U.S. counterpart on Thursday as oil prices fell and Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem stopped short of endorsing the market's recent move to price in another interest rate hike by the central bank. Macklem suggested April's inflation increase - the first in 10 months - was an anomaly and said consumer prices would continue to come down, in comments following the release of the BoC's financial system report. "I think this is one of those platforms where it probably wasn't appropriate to talk about policy ... I don't get a sense that he wanted to provide much by way of new information at all," said Ian Pollick, global head, FICC strategy at CIBC Capital Markets.

The loonie was trading 0.8% lower at C$1.3490 to the greenback, or 74.13 U.S. cents, its biggest decline since March 7.

CANADA FX DEBT-Jobs data helps lift CAD to biggest gain in four months

Bullish Canadian dollar bets have been raised despite an expected global economic slowdown that could cloud the near-term outlook, with analysts in a Reuters poll saying the currency's current level doesn't reflect its fair value.
