Statistics Canada reported a seasonally adjusted September goods surplus of C$5.4 billion, up from a revised C$5.0 billion in August. Export values rose 0.2% while volumes fell 4.0%, and higher prices lifted crude oil and bitumen export values by 10.2%.
The Canadian dollar firmed against the US dollar, with USD/CAD near 1.3951.
