(The Canadian Press) TORONTO _ The Canadian dollar was higher Thursday with the greenback putting in a mixed performance against other currencies.
The commodity-sensitive loonie was up 0.22 of a cent to 97.16 cents US amid lower commodity prices.
The September crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange was down 91 cents to US$104.48. That followed a slide of almost $2 Wednesday as traders weighed weak Chinese manufacturing data against a slightly bigger than expected drop in U.S. crude inventories.
The September copper contract was down two cents to US$3.16 a pound, while the August gold bullion contract inched 40 cents lower to US$1,319 an ounce.
