The Canadian dollar extended gain against most major currencies in the Asian session on Friday, as commodity currencies got a boost after the Federal Reserve provided an upbeat assessment for the U.S. economy and said it would remain "patient" in its approach to raise interest rates. Oil prices rebounded, after posting sharp losses yesterday. Crude oil for February delivery is currently up $0.52 to $54.88 a barrel.
The Federal Reserve said Wednesday it will "be patient" in determining when to raise interest rates, a subtle change in language from its previous vow to keep rates near zero for a "considerable time."
A report that oil companies are moving to put plans for new production on hold and to cut spending in response to the oil crisis, also contributed to the upmove of the currency.
