> The Canadian dollar strengthened against the U.S. dollar as markets reacted to a Bank of Japan move widening the allowable band for long-term yields, and Canadian October retail sales rose 1.4%, close to forecasts. Oil rose 1.1% to $76.05 a barrel, helped by U.S. plans to restock petroleum reserves.

## Why it matters

A firmer loonie and higher crude mildly affect Canadian export pricing and feed costs priced in U.S. dollars; the currency move is a modest factor for Canadian-origin feed commodities.
