Canadian dollar pivots after 1962 peg break
The Canadian dollar was expected to rise as Ottawa unpegged it from the 92.5 U.S. cent value and allowed it to float. The move, intended to resume IMF par value discussions soon, will likely widen export costs and make foreign travel pricier while easing imports and outbound travel costs. Financial authorities aim to moderate swings using reserves, with no immediate forecasted large rate change.
