# Canadian dollar rises to six-week high as greenback slides - The Globe and Mail

> The Canadian dollar rose to a six-week high against the US dollar after the Federal Reserve held rates steady and the greenback fell broadly. The US 30-year Treasury yield reached its highest level since 2007, and oil traded lower on a proposed Saudi-led Red Sea maritime coalition.
