Loonie gains amid rise in crude oil
Canada's currency rose for the third day against the U.S. Dollar after crude oil, the nation's major export, rallied. On Tuesday, the Loonie advanced 0.3% to 98.76 cents per U.S. Dollar, after reaching 98.43, the highest since May 3. One Loonie buys $1.0126. Economists forecast a report this week to show Canada's GDP rising for a fourth consecutive quarter.
