George Davis Last Quotations

Last week we saw oil give back a sizable amount of recent gains and I just think that given the fact that we have seen some weakness in oil prices as a result of that, that's weighed on the Canadian dollar as well,

Just given the fact the market wasn't able to push the Canadian dollar above that 12-year high that was set last November, I think that caused a few people to look at taking some profits on some of their long Canadian dollar positions.

Over the last couple of days we've tried to break past C$1.1650 (85.83 U.S. cents) and we really haven't been able to do it, and I think what we're starting to see now is some profit-taking, not only on dollar/Canada positions, but on cross positions.

The Canadian dollar is grinding lower, playing catch-up with the price correction that we saw in oil last week.

In terms of correlations, natural gas has tended to have the highest correlation with the Canadian dollar over the last year or so.
