Canada's dollar dropped for a fifth consecutive week in the longest losing streak in a year as speculation a slowing recovery for the nation's biggest trade partner and Europe's worsening debt crisis curtailed demand.
The currency touched the lowest since November after a report yesterday showed the U.S. added the fewest jobs in a year. Bank of Canada policy makers meet on June 5, four days after Statistics Canada said growth stagnated in the January- March period as consumer spending increased at the slowest pace in three years, raising the chances of lower interest rates by the end of 2012.
"You had the dual-pronged attack on the Canadian dollar, with worse than expected payrolls and GDP," said John Curran, senior vice president in Toronto at CanadianForex Ltd., an online foreign-exchange dealer, in a telephone interview. "That plays firmly into the hands of the 'risk-off' scenario which is the underlying trade out there because of European concerns."
