The Canadian dollar fell to 79.3 U.S. cents, its lowest since April and down 3.8 cents from its June 2 high of 83.1 cents. Analysts attribute the decline mainly to expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will tighten sooner than expected due to a recovering economy and rising inflation expectations.
The loonie remained the top-performing G10 currency against the dollar this year.
Expectations of earlier Fed tightening strengthen the U.S. dollar, which typically pressures dollar-denominated commodity prices and makes U.S. exports less competitive.
